Back in 2016, the Los Angeles Rams were struggling, and during that rough 2016 season under head coach Jeff Fisher, Jared Goff’s rookie year, Fisher was fired as general manager Les Snead was extended. That happens, many teams retain their GM, but move on from their head coach.
What doesn’t always happen is the coach is asked about the extension of the GM, and claims to have absolutely no idea.
“I wasn’t aware, I’m so busy here I honestly wasn’t aware that he was extended, you know, and that’s...I’m just being honest with you, we’re just working here, and I mean I think that from Stan’s (Kroenke) standpoint, if in fact that’s the case, then Stan’s showing confidence in us.
