The Rams said Monday that defensive coordinator Jim Haslett will replace him on an interim basis.
Linehan, just four games into his third season, had an overall 11-25 record.
Team spokesman Rick Smith says a news conference is scheduled for later Monday.
The move was made heading into the Rams' bye week and several hours after the Buffalo Bills outscored them 25-0 in the second half of a 31-14 victory Sunday.
