A day after he was fired by the Rams, Jeff Fisher issued a statement that was read on ESPN’s “NFL Live” Tuesday afternoon.
“First and foremost, I want to thank Stan Kroenke for the opportunity to be part of this organization the last four and a half years,” Fisher’s statement said. “I want to thank the entire football staff as it has been a privilege to work with each one of them day in and day out. I especially want to thank all the players. They are a great group of men that I respect, and that I will greatly miss. My hope is that each one of the players experience great success in the future.”
Kroenke, the Rams’ owner, had released a statement on Monday in which he said Fisher’s firing was simply about wins and losses and the Rams failing to meet expectations.
Special Teams Coach John Fassel was named interim head coach. The Rams play at Seattle on Thursday night.
