Fisher was hired in 2012 to succeed Steve Spagnuolo following the worst five-year run of any NFL team in history. In the four years since, the Rams have gone 27-36 with three seven-win seasons and a fourth falling just short.

Fisher was born in the LA area, grew up there, played high school football and then starred at the University of Southern California.
