Los Angeles Rams head coach Jeff Fisher has responded to comments made by Eric Dickerson that implicate the head coach in imposing a ban on the legendary running back.
Dickerson roasted Fisher on Monday night, saying Fisher was the one who banned him from the team’s sidelines for making players feel uncomfortable due to his honest critiques of the team this season.
Dickerson also made it clear that he would not return to any Rams game or event while Fisher is still the head coach.
Jeff Fisher’s Account
After hearing about Dickerson’s comments on Monday night, Fisher defended his conversation with Dickerson, while not directly taking credit for imposing a ban on the Rams legend, per Gary Klein of the New York Times:
So, in short, Fisher doesn’t think the Rams should do anything with or for Dickerson because he’s telling the truth. Yeah, that makes this all better.

Eric Dickerson’s Account
Here is Dickerson’s account of the conversation, also per Klein:
So Fisher doesn’t want to eliminate Dickerson as long as he paints a rosy picture about the team that just isn’t there. It’s as if Dickerson’s comments are needed for Rams fans to see how inept he and this organization have become.
Fisher didn’t help his case at all with these comments. If anything he just confirmed how big of a jerk he was to Dickerson and how off his reasoning was for trying to ban a player who has done more for this organization in one game than Fisher has done for it in five years.
