In case you missed it, Los Angeles Rams head coach Jeff Fisher just got fired about a week after getting a contract extension. It also happens to be immediately following his record-tying 165th NFL head-coaching loss (many of them with my beloved Titans, but I digress).
Naturally, since this seems like a move more suited to a team like the Cleveland Browns and not a team that just moved to the second largest market in America, Twitter has jokes. Many, many jokes
Here are some of the highlights so far (and they aren’t slowing down any as I type this)…

Getting a bunch of money and then being told to not bother coming to work anymore is the god damn dream. Jeff Fisher is my hero

Remember when Jeff Fisher said he wasn't going 7-9? Technically, he was right.
