Just one week after confirming a contract extension for head coach Jeff Fisher, the Los Angeles Rams announced Monday afternoon they had fired Fisher.
“Making a decision such as this — especially during the season — is one of the most difficult in sports,” Rams owner Stan Kroenke said in a statement released by the team. “I have great respect for Jeff as a coach, a father, and a friend.”
No compatible source was found for this media.
The Rams subsequently announced that special teams coordinator John Fassel would take over as interim head coach for the remainder of the 2016 season.
