Rams special teams coach Bob Ligashesky spared no horse-power getting himself set up with another gig in Pittsburgh.

The ink on the pink-slip barely had time to dry when the Steelers announced him as their newest addition to join Ken Whisenhunt in Pittsburgh's own revolving hierarchy.

Rams Coach Scott Linehan officially let Ligashesky go on Thursday, but the fact that he interviewed two unnamed candidates at this year's Senior Bowl is evidence that the decision was actually made long ago.

"He's a good coach with a bright future," Linehan said Thursday. "But we need to make some improvements on special teams. Sometimes change is good for both parties."

Ligashesky, 44, is a Pittsburgh native who played football at Indiana (Pa.) University and coached at the University of Pittsburgh from 2000-03.
