Ex-Rams coach Linehan says no to 49ers' coordinator offer

SAN FRANCISCO -- Scott Linehan declined the 49ers' offer to become their offensive coordinator Sunday, saying he wasn't ready to commit to his next coaching move.

Linehan, a respected offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings, was fired four games into his third season as the St. Louis Rams' head coach last September. He still wants to return to coaching this year, but he said he doesn't want to rush his choice.

"They were great to me from the top down, from ownership to the front office to (49ers coach) Mike (Singletary)," Linehan told The Associated Press in a phone interview from his home in St. Louis. "It's just timing right now. I'm just not ready to make a decision."

Linehan was offered the 49ers' job Thursday after his second interview with Singletary and general manager Scot McCloughan, who are looking for the seventh offensive coordinator in the last seven seasons for a franchise that redefined offensive football under Bill Walsh in the 1980s.
