(Reuters) - The struggling Los Angeles Rams have fired head coach Jeff Fisher after losing eight of their last nine games in what has become a disappointing homecoming season, the National Football League team said on Monday. Fisher was under contract through 2018 after signing an extension prior to the current season but with the franchise headed to a fifth straight losing season under his leadership the team decided a change was needed. "Making a decision such as this - especially during the season - is one of the most difficult in sports," Rams owner Stan Kroenke said in a statement.
