Apparently a 4-7 record is enough to earn a contract extension in Los Angeles.
Jeff Fisher and the Rams have signed a two-year deal through 2018, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Although a contract extension for Fisher has long been discussed, there was talk that the disappointing season this year could change those plans, and that Stan Kroenke could be in the market for a new coach to build his team going forward.
Instead, Kroenke has decided to keep things going with Fisher. The coach’s single biggest task will be developing first overall pick Jared Goff into a franchise quarterback, but the broader question is the simplest one of all: When will the Rams win under Fisher?
Through five seasons with the team, Fisher has gone 7-8-1, 7-9, 6-10, 7-9 and now 4-7. At some point, he’s going to have to do better than that if he wants to keep his job. But that point will apparently not be this year. Fisher will be back.
