Jeff Fisher's run as the Los Angeles Rams Rams head coach is over after four-plus seasons. The Rams announced Fisher's dismissal Monday after Los Angeles lost 42-14 to the Atlanta Falcons

Myles Simmons of the Rams shared a statement from team owner Stan Kroenke on the decision to part ways with Fisher:

Fisher, 58, went 31-45-1 during his tenure. Taking over in 2012 after a 17-year run with the Tennessee Titans, Fisher failed to make the playoffs during his entire run with the Rams and never posted a record above .500.

The Rams peaked in Fisher's first season, going 7-8-1. They've been a typical middle-of-the-road Fisher team since, posting a pair of 7-9s to go with this year's 4-9 record. Fisher had signed a two-year extension in the offseason, but the franchise decided to part ways after Sunday's blowout loss.

While they've boasted consistent defensive talent throughout Fisher's tenure, the Rams' inability to find a coherent offense has been their undoing.

The Rams have used seven starting quarterbacks since 2012, none of whom played well. Sam Bradford struggled with injuries and a lack of downfield passing skills. Austin Davis, Kellen Clemens and Shaun Hill were replacement-level options, while the 2015 combo of Nick Foles and Case Keenum didn't work out. The Rams drafted Jared Goff with the first overall pick in 2016 but sat him in favor of Keenum before eventually turning to the rookie.
