After much speculation, Jeff Fisher will coach the St. Louis Rams. Jeff Fisher recently switched his mind from the coaching the Dolphins after negotiations fell through. Sources believe that Fisher wanted to be the #1 man in Miami without the help of GM Jeff Ireland.

For the Rams, they are getting a good coach that will help rebuild the team from their 2-14 season of 2011.  Fisher is a veteran and has taken a team to the Super Bowl.  Fisher has a franchise QB in place (Sam Bradford), the #2 pick in the draft, and about $45 mil of cap room in St. Louis.

St. Louis is replacing coach Steve Spagnuolo and general manager Billy Devaney after a 2-14 season.
