Confirmation about contract extensions for Rams coach Jeff Fisher and General Manager Les Snead came last weekend after months of speculation about whether they had been signed or not, which means two men who started in the organization together in 2012 continue to be tied together.
Fisher has discussed his extension with the media several times since news broke, but Snead hasn’t held a press conference in the last few days. He did make an appearance on KSPN in Los Angeles on Tuesday and shared his view about the message the team sent by extending the architects of teams that have gone 31-44-1 since they arrived.
“First of all, what it means is, we’re not satisfied with where we’re at. We’ve got unfinished business,” Snead said, via the Los Angeles Daily News. “We think we can get this thing tipped, and that’s our goal. That’s where all the energy is spent. You’re not going to sleep until it gets done. We have great fans and we’ve been supported. It’s unbelievable. Any time you’re having a disappointing season, you feel for the fans first, because they come and they spend their energy and passion, and we’ve got to do a better job.”
It’s clear that the Rams have unfinished business when it comes to building a winning team. With almost five years under their belts, it’s much less clear that Fisher and Snead are the right people to finish it.
