LOS ANGELES – Jeff Fisher still wants to be an NFL head coach, and nothing more.

Speaking with ESPN LA 710 on Wednesday morning – his third interview since being fired as coach of the Rams, after appearing with Fox and SiriusXM – Fisher made it clear that he wants another chance. But he also doesn’t want the added responsibilities he took on with the Rams, especially while they transitioned to Los Angeles throughout this calendar year.

“I want to be a head coach, and I want to coach ‘ball,” Fisher said on ESPNLA's "Mornings with Keyshawn, Jorge & LZ.” “If the opportunity comes up, I’ll be working very, very closely with the GM, who I would hope would be my boss and let me coach, and make the decisions, make the personnel decisions and the day-to-day stuff that needs to get done.”

The Rams parted ways with Fisher on Dec. 12, the Monday after a 42-14 home loss to the Atlanta Falcons that gave his team eight defeats in a span of nine games. Fisher was 13 games into his fifth season with the Rams, an organization that signed him to an extension through 2018 before the start of this season.

He departed with 165 career losses, tying Dan Reeves for the NFL record, and was reminded of that during his radio appearance.

Fisher then reminded the hosts – Jorge Sedano, Keyshawn Johnson and LZ Granderson – that he also is 11th all time in wins. He brought up the fact he has taken over two 2-14 teams, the then-Houston Oilers in 1995 and the then-St. Louis Rams in 2012. And he mentioned that those two organizations played in five different cities and in six different stadiums over the course of his tenure with them.

“I’m disappointed, but I didn’t win enough games,” Fisher told ESPN LA 710. “I get that part. I didn’t get to see this through. We were making strides. The move took a toll. It really took a toll on, I think, everybody, considering what we started doing back in January.”

Fisher took over a Rams organization that had lost 65 of 80 games over a five-year stretch and instantly made it competitive, but the Rams never finished any better than 7-8-1 under his watch.

Fisher said he initially took the job because he liked the owner, Stan Kroenke, and he liked the quarterback, Sam Bradford. At the time, Fisher was expected to have a major say in personnel decisions. But on Wednesday, he called that a collaborative process, saying he did not have time to “tell someone which guard to take in the sixth round” and also did not negotiate contracts.

Fisher brought up the offseason departures of safety Rodney McLeod and cornerback Janoris Jenkins, seemingly blaming general manager Les Snead for not bringing them back.

“I was told that there wasn’t going to be any issues – they were going to be re-signed – and we lost them,” Fisher said. “Janoris got votes for Defensive Player of the Year. That side of it – it doesn’t fall into my lap. ... Because of the move, in retrospect and everything, things just got a little out of perspective, and we lost two really good football players.”

Fisher also said he and Snead "worked well together" and "did the best we could" and that he "trusted him." Fisher also praised No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff, calling him “the quarterback of the future.” But he also noted that he was the seventh quarterback he had under center with the Rams, a team that ranked within the bottom five in the NFL in yards each of the last four years.

The popular criticism of Fisher is that his offensive scheme has not evolved with the modern game, a point Fisher refuted.

“Offense has changed, and we have changed,” Fisher told ESPN LA 710. “We just have not been productive. We’ve been victimized by drops and penalties and those types of things. I don’t necessarily think it’s scheme.”

Fisher, 58, would like to coach again, but he doesn’t want to do all the extracurricular things. Fisher took on a lot of added responsibilities over these last couple of years, a circumstance the Rams' front office was very grateful for. As an example, Fisher mentioned meeting with architects for the new stadium in Inglewood, California, for two hours on the Saturday before his Rams would play a road game against the New England Patriots.

The next morning, news of Fisher’s extension leaked.

Eight days after that, he was fired.

“I still want to do it,” Fisher told ESPN LA 710 about coaching again. “I love it, I’m passionate, I miss the players, I love the players. I’m a father to many of them. That’s the most disappointing thing. When all the dust settles, that’s the most disappointing thing, that I don’t get to go in the building to players that I absolutely love and trust.

“Good locker room, chemistry. We had a rough season. Other teams have had rough seasons. Just going to see if there’s another opportunity out there, and if not I’ll be fine.”
