When Jeff Fisher was fired by the Los Angeles Rams following an embarrassing 42-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14, it was John Fassel that took over the interim head coaching duties for the final three games of the regular season, all of which resulted in losses. Deep down, Fassel always seemed to know the chances of him earning the head-coaching job for the 2017 season would be a long shot, but at least the Rams are likely to retain him as their special teams coordinator.
If that does end up happening, Johnny Hekker will have every reason in the world to be happy as the punter was recently named to the All-Pro first team for the third time in four years.
