FINALLY - Jeff Fisher Canned

[True Lakers Fan]

Kind of stupid to give him an extension to begin with since he was the only coach to lose four years straight and still have a job.

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Rams fired coach Jeff Fisher.

In a Highly Intelligent and Appropiate, ironic twist for the NFL's pre-eminent loser, the firing comes three days before he was set to pass Dan Reeves for the most coaching losses in league history. Fisher is so inept he can't even claim the record that's been his destiny for over a decade. The firing is perhaps the most justified of the modern era. Fisher has had five years to turn around a laughingstock franchise, but instead made it an even bigger joke. Fisher's team had truly made zero progress on his first year in 2012. A wanton waster of draft picks and capital, Fisher is clueless on Sundays, fundamentally misunderstanding offense and overseeing a cavalcade of idiotic penalties. Fisher doesn't make adjustments, aside from usually dialing up more personal fouls in the second half. Try as he may, he never came close to "cleaning up" his chronic, myriad, inexcusable mistakes. No coach, in any sport anywhere in the world, makes more excuses. Fisher has almost certainly coached his final NFL game.

FIFY

Calling it now, Teryl Austin to LA.

Gotta be an offensive guy that wants to work with Goff. Anthony Lynn?

He'll get another job. The NFL is SO damn in-bred.

Rex Ryan will get another HC job after Buffalo, too.

I don't know, Rex just might go to TV and never come back...he's tailor made.

Was the extension starting this year?

Otherwise my post still stands.

Would've started next year (to keep from being a lame-duck situation) with a second year as a team option. GM Snead also signed an extension (likely to avoid the same lame-duck situation), remains to be seen if he survives the offseason.

Just shows what an inept FO the Rams have. "LET'S EXTEND HIM!" *2 weeks later* "LET'S FIRE HIM!"

At this point I'm sure the Rams will be back in St. Louis in 2 years.

The Rams did that idiot a favor by firing him now. He never will get another head coaching job in the NFL, so he won't set the record by himself.

It appears they may want to lure Carol out of the rainy northwest for sunny southern Cali with a bunch of money to head back

Rams wishing big for next head coach and their improbable dream is Pete Carroll
