"Rams owner Stan Kroenke is eager to win some football games. That is why he spent top dollar to hire Jeff Fisher as his new head coach.

"We have developed a model that we have a lot of confidence in," Kroenke said during his Tuesday news conference. "At the center of that is a experienced, confident head coach who has been in a lot of different situations. Jeff is absolutely what we were looking for. I told Jeff early on that's the way we viewed the world of sport — how important it was to find that kind of coach."

On the other hand, Kroenke isn't eager to guarantee the Rams would remain in St. Louis forever and ever.

"The chronology of what occurs with the lease is public knowledge," Kroenke told reporters. "I don't think for me to comment on that process is timely.""
