No matter what you think of Fisher, you have to admit it’s odd that a coach with a 24 – 34 record is getting an extension. Perhaps it would make sense if the Rams were trending upward, but that’s not the case since it looks like they need a QB and still have other personnel issues on offense.

Perhaps it would make sense if the Rams were trending upward, but that’s not the case since it looks like they need a QB and still have other personnel issues on offense.

They also treated this season as “build for the future.” The personnel issues you are talking about including having a predominantly young and inexperienced line. I wouldn’t call that “personnel issues” though, that falls more under “development.”

That in fact is the case with the entire offense. They had an offense, but in 2014 the qb and the OL got taken out. So they started over with that new young OL, a new qb, a new first time coordinator, and an injured RB taken high in the first round. In that situation, it makes perfect sense to me that any judgements of the season by ownership would see this as starting over and building for the future.

The unpredictable part of this was Foles melting down from the GB game on.

And given that it is a start-over, I can see how management would put the record in context. Under those conditions continuity would be a strong consideration.

I don’t know what will happen, but if there IS an extension it does have a logic behind it.

Rams logic Martz playoffs 4 out of 5 years ( I refuse to count 05 as he was locked out after 2 games) fire him. Fisher losing every season consecutively record declining year after year, extend him.

Well, I don’t want Fisher to be fired. I’m content to let him finish out his contract and see where things stand after next season.

However, I think it’s very premature to give him an extension. He has yet to show that he can build an offense as most of his personnel decisions on offense have not panned out. And of course, tbe decision to trade for Foles was a disaster. I suppose it wasn’t possible for Fisher to know that Foles would be historically bad, however there were plenty of people who thought the trade was a mistake from the start.

I also don’t think Fisher or Rams management thought of this season as a “do over”. I think they expected to be playoff contenders this season.
