During a press conference, Los Angeles Rams COO Kevin Demoff discussed Jeff Fisher’s contract extension — which leaked about a week ago.

Demoff claims that the contract extension was agreed upon in the summer, however, it takes time to make things official. As such, Demoff decided not to announce it during the season because he thought it would be a distraction.

“And maybe that was a mistake on my part,” said Demoff, in his press conference.

Fisher’s contract extension last week was a bit of a head-scratcher. But it makes sense now in hindsight.

In order to officially fire Fisher, the Rams needed to announce his extension — which turned out to be more of a severance package.

Demoff called Fisher’s firing an “organizational failure” so it’s safe to say that the players won’t be the only ones put under the microscope in the coming months.

The Rams organization may need a shakeup from top to bottom. The mistakes, like the one from Demoff, won’t go unnoticed.
