Jeff Fisher to St. Louis Rams: Pursuit of Head Coach Reportedly over

According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, a league source says that Jeff Fisher will coach the St. Louis Rams next season. The Rams are coming off of a very disappointing 2-14 season in which Steve Spagnuolo was fired as head coach.

Fisher was torn between the Miami Dolphins and the Rams, leaving both fanbases twisting in the wind all week long.

In the end, Fisher chose the Rams, who seemingly have a better young football team and play in a division that does not feature the New York Jets and New England Patriots. I guess going up against Kevin Kolb and Tarvaris Jackson sounded better than battling it out against Bill Belichick and Tom Brady.

The Rams have a young quarterback in place, Sam Bradford, that many talent evaluators believe has elite potential. If Fisher can get Bradford to keep improving, the Rams would be the only team in the NFC West with a true franchise QB.

The Rams also have one of the best running backs in the NFL, Steven Jackson, and that will allow Fisher to employ his run-heavy "Fisherball" philosophy. A sound running game should also help Bradford take that next step as a young quarterback.

The Rams also have some very talented young players on defense including Chris Long, James Lauranaitis, Robert Quinn and Darian Stewart. Fisher has a reputation for building great defenses, so he has to be excited to arrive in St. Louis with such good young building blocks already in place.
