but why does reupping fisher mean he doesn’t care?

i mean it might make him clueless but i don’t think it means he doesn’t care. necessarily.

and ultimately winning will bring him in more money. it’s not like baseball where winning is usually associated with spending more money. and let’s face it. he shelled out some pretty serious bucks to get him.

i am curious to see how this plays out. the manner in which this news came out tells me his job isn’t all that safe.

yeah. it’s sounding like he’s gone. not the biggest loss.

and i don’t really dislike him, but my opinion is they need to find a new head coach. i would say someone from the offensive side.

Unless, of course, you don’t.

I don;t believe the “at some point you make a change” thing IR.

I don’t see the reason for it or the logic behind it.

Let;s put it this way. It;s at least cancelled out by “at some point you commit to continuity.”

And if he starts winning all of this discussion is beside the point.

i do. at some point players tune you out. they might not revolt like they did on linehan. but there’s no belief in what you’re doing. it’s just human nature.

and now it gets down to this

It’s a kind of standoff between those who

* claim Fisher is bad no matter what

* say that the team has been affected by circumstances no coach overcomes (eg. only one team in the history of the NFL had a winning record after moving…and very few win much if they don’t have a starting qb).

If the first group is right, even with the qb issue settled, they can’t win.

If the 2nd group is right, especially with the qb issue settled, sure they can win.

Let time tell.

i don’t think it gets down to that. i don’t think he’s a terrible coach. i just think at some point you make a change. not necessarily JUST for the sake of making a change. but just going in a different direction.

but who knows maybe they hire a new oc. i’m not a believer that it boils down to just needing a starting qb. to me the issues go beyond that.

did you hear that jeff? now go prove me wrong.

…

seriously. i hope he proves me wrong cuz then that means it was just jared all along.

i’ll be happy as long as the rams can start winning.

also this had been signed months ago as had been previously speculated.

i don’t think it’s the worst thing to happen.

i don’t think he’s a terrible coach. but i also thought it might be time for a change.

Around The NFL will have more on this shortly.

i find it interesting that wentz has cooled off significantly since his fast start.

You know what? I actually don’t think that’s going to happen to Goff. The cooling off. Not that he will ascend forever, but you know what I mean.

oh i’m not trying to say that we should expect a cooling down of goff.

just that the casual observer might still have the idea that wentz has been a sensation when the reality is far from that. still a lot of football to be played.
