Rams coach Jeff Fisher said after Sunday’s 27-3 loss to the Cardinals that he’d run out of answers for how to get the team back on track after falling short for the fifth straight week.
He must have done some brainstorming overnight because the team has made a change on the coaching staff. The Rams announced that they have fired offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti and turned the reins of the unit open to assistant head coach Rob Boras.
Cignetti was in his first year as coordinator after spending the last three years as the team’s quarterbacks coach. The Rams currently rank 31st in the league in both scoring and offensive yards and have managed just 54 points during a losing streak that has featured some of the ghastliest offensive football in recent memory.
“We thank Frank for his hard work and dedication over the last four years,” Fisher said in a statement. “We wish him the best moving forward.”
Boras doesn’t figure to have considerably better luck unless the Rams find some way to upgrade on quarterbacks Nick Foles and Case Keenum in the next few weeks. There should be plenty of other changes coming to the Rams after Fisher extended the team’s run of seasons without a winning record to 12, up to and including the zip code the team calls home for their next attempt to play something resembling capable offensive football.
