NFL props: Who will be the first coach fired?

This past off-season, it came as no surprise when the Rams finalized their move from St. Louis to Los Angeles.

Obvious financial incentives made the move essentially a no-brainer, as the revenue and built-in fan base of the major market were too lucrative to ignore.

Being a part of change is customary for Rams coach Jeff Fisher -- he was a part of the Houston Texans' move to Tennessee in the mid-90s. While in Tennessee, he was a part of management dropping the old Oilers name and adopting Titans.

Another Fisher tradition has been the persistent mediocrity of teams he's coached, a record that seemingly went unnoticed by critics and media until recent years.

In 21 years as an NFL head coach, he is 169-156-1 with six postseason berths and one Super Bowl appearance.

He is 27-36-1 with the Rams, and hasn't had a winning season since 2008. Even so, that history of mediocrity has never seemed to bother Fisher's employers, as Rams brass are reportedly working on a contract extension for the coach.

We’re hoping they reverse course, and instead send the coach on his way while wishing him well in future endeavors. Fisher is the third favorite at 5Dimes on who will be the first coach fired.

Now entering his fifth year running the Rams, Fisher is under immense pressure to elevate the franchise to the next level.

The NFC West has been a bit of a revolving door in recent years. In fact, the 49ers, Seahawks, and Cardinals have all enjoyed years as division champion, while Fisher and the Rams helped pad their records and never sniffed the playoffs.

Fisher's failed Rams tenure has been marked by a lack of star power at quarterback, and inconsistent defensive play.

With top draft pick Jared Goff preparing to learn on the job, will management give Fisher more leeway?

That mindset may seem like the proper strategy, as the Rams look to build with youth in mind, led by Goff and running back Todd Gurley.

Yet, Los Angeles is an aggressive sports market that will be looking for an instant jolt of success.

Many people forget Fisher's tenure in Tennessee was built upon a great relationship with longtime owner Bud Adams.

We’re hoping Rams owner Stan Kroenke gets fed up with mediocrity fast in Los Angeles.

Therefore, in a tough NFC West, I’m picking Fisher to falter and be the first NFL coach to be fired in 2016, with a payback of 6/1.
