Rams running back Steven Jackson is very excited for the 2012 season because of the recent hiring of head coach Jeff Fisher. Jackson was on a plane when St. Louis officially landed Fisher. "As soon as I landed, I had a ton of text messages and one of them being from Sam Bradford," Jackson said. As a player who's seen coaches come and go all too often during his eight-season career, Jackson said he had grown fatigued by the endless speculation intertwined with any coaching search. "Quite frankly, I did ignore it. I didn't pay attention to it," he said. "The reason I didn't is because I've been through this far too many times. This is my fourth head coach, I've had two interims. Anticipating where Jeff was going to go, or who's going to be the next guy was something that I wasn't spending my days pondering and wondering." Jackson began his Rams career in 2004 with Mike Martz and since has seen Joe Vitt, Scott Linehan, Jim Haslett and the recently fired Steve Spagnuolo take their turn as head coach. "Now that I have confirmation that Jeff is going to be the guy, I'm very excited. I've only heard good things about him. ... Now I'm jumping for joy," he said.
