With the firing of Jeff Fisher on Monday, rumors are swirling about the next head coach of the Los Angeles Rams. Two names are circulating prominently: former NFL coaches Jon Gruden and Jim Harbaugh.

The Rams barely had time to process the news that head coach Jeff Fisher was being fired before starting preparations to play the Seahawks.
This season has gone south in a hurry for the Los Angeles Rams, losers of eight in their last nine games now after a 3-1 start to the 2016 season.

If Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher wasn't under fire already, losing 42-14 at home to the Atlanta Falcons isn't going to help his case. The Rams defense was helpless against the best offense in the NFL on Sunday, allowing the first 42 points of the game to the Falcons.

Somewhat like wide receiver Isaac Bruce in 1995, the Los Angeles Rams are getting a great season from WR Kenny Britt in 2016 despite not having a consistently good quarterback to throw him the ball.

When the Atlanta Falcons and the Los Angeles Rams were division rivals in the old NFL alignment from 1967 to 2001, there weren't that many seasons when the Falcons were the ones chasing the playoff spot while the Rams were chasing their own tails.

This loss guarantees a 13th-straight non-winning season for Los Angeles.
