Interesting tweet on Fisher

Jeff Fisher is nine losses away from having more career losses than any coach in NFL history.”

Let’s hope it takes him more than one season to get the record.

Yeah, there’s probably a lot of ‘loss’ records he either owns
or is closing in on.

But i think most of us on this board agree he’s not a ‘bad coach’.
He’s just not. Despite the Record, which includes a lot more mediocre records than good ones, and despite the many years since he’s had a playoff team.

He is not a bad coach. He’s a losing coach most of the time,
but…there’s a reasonable explanation for that 🙂

Some folks are just “you are what your won-loss record says you are” types
and to them, thats as far as it goes. And i got no problem with that. Let a thousand flowers wither and be eaten by 17 year locusts.

Personally, though, I think the won-loss-folks are in for some
confusing times over the next five years. Cause i think the LA Rams
are gonna be looking pretty good, pretty soon. Not sure about this year, with a rookie QB, but I think good records are coming soon.

And wouldnt it be ironic if Fisher started putting playoff teams on the field year after year — and then he got fired after three or four Ten and eleven win seasons. I could see that happening. I could see him being a playoff-coach but not a Ring Winner, and i could see people getting sick of “that”.

. One thing you can look at with Fisher is his record with backup QBs. I believe the league winning percentage is about .250. The Rams are 13-17 (.433) under him when starting backup QBs. Just as one example Jason Garrett is 1-13 (.072) when Romo doesn’t start.

it is interesting.

i mean how good would belichick be without brady? and let’s face it. they lucked out and picked him in the sixth. they had no idea how good he would be. he did do well with cassel as his qb that one year.

conversely. how good would fisher look if the rams absolutely nail it with the goff pick? fisher and mcnair were a pretty formidable duo.

mind you. i’m not trying to say fisher is as good as belichick. just that belichick has had the fortune of coaching a hall of fame qb for the bulk of his career.
