The Story of Rams Awkward Transition From Jeff Fisher to John Fassel

Apparently the team’s transition from former head coach Jeff Fisher to interim head coach John Fassel was pretty awkward to say the least.

As it turns out, the man who told John Fassel he was to become the Los Angeles Rams’ interim head coach was Jeff Fisher himself, the man Fassel was to replace.

Furthermore, Fassel never technically accepted the job.

Here’s the entire story from NFL Network’s Mike Silver, followed by a few follow-up questions from us just to clarify:

So, in short,  Fisher had relayed the news to Fassel about his temporary promotion, and not Rams COO Kevin Demoff.

Just to clarify, we asked Silver a few questions about it just to make sure we had it right.

So Fisher told Fassel he was to be the interim coach?

So that’s the awkward part?

With the way this organization has been run, are we really surprised this ended any other way? The outgoing coach told the new interim coach he was taking over his job, and the interim coach never technically accepted the position.

My head officially hurts.
