Rams Hire Jeff Fisher: Fan Approval Poll

Jeff Fisher will be the head coach of the St. Louis Rams.

I forgot that it has been less than two weeks since the St. Louis Rams ended their lost 2011 season. It's not one most fans will remember, nor should they, except for the whole historical lesson thing. A new era started officially for the Rams today, with the news that the team hired Jeff Fisher to be their next head coach.

It was the right move. They needed an established, experienced guy who knows how to get the most out of his players. Fisher may not have a Super Bowl ring, but he's coached team through turmoil and transition in an effective manner. As 3k pointed out earlier today, the Rams, and owner Stan Kroenke, made a statement today.

It was exactly the kind of statement they needed to make. Fans have been alienated by years of bad football. Just as people started to return to the Dome after a surprise 7-9 run in 2010. The team had to buy up unsold tickets in order to avoid a local blackout in their final game of this season.

There's a great big elephant in the room still with the Rams stadium issue and a stadium project awaiting a team in L.A. I'm not so naive to think that a move can't happen. Nevertheless, I have to tip my hat to the new administration at Rams Park, committed if silent ownership and a savvy front office focused on making deep, lasting connections with the fans.

On another note, I want give a big thanks to our community here at Turf Show Times. We've grown exponentially in recent weeks, and I'm really excited about the year ahead, especially free agency and the draft, which long timers here will tell you we cover left, right and upside down. Be sure to sign up for a membership on the site. Spout off in with a Fanpost.

And I know the social media thing isn't for everyone, but I hope you'll follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook. I plan to do some big things on those two platforms that link directly into our community here.

I don't think he's the best coach

But the Rams got the person they wanted. I can’t fault them for that.

So I voted yes.

I’m just saying I don’t think he’s not the best coach out there. I didn’t believe the hype of Fisher I guess.

There's really no way to know.

Did the year off make him rusty of recharge his batteries?

The team management made a commitment to get the best available coach – at least on paper. We didn’t cheap out on an inexperienced coordinator who might do well at an established team but can’t handle all our problems.

You have to like that regardless of what happens next.

i hate fisher

Mostly because my dumbass friend is a titans fan. I think he suffered from being in that division w Manning for so long tho. So Im going to dismiss the 6 winning seasons in 17 or whatever the stat was. I guess it’s a good choice but I still don’t like him until I see results…

I'm just glad a HC has been hired.

Now he can use this time to make us a not so shitty team. Hopefully the play without the injuries.

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

by Skunkburner on Jan 13, 2012 7:17 PM CST via mobile reply actions  

Now he has to put his staff together

The most important part is his staff, that has been the biggest problem of the Rams in the past. Not having the proper staff that can teach the team to be winners, has been a problem

Not the ideal choice, but the best out of what is out there.

Neither Gruden is going anywhere...

Jon isnt leaving the booth and Jay isnt leaving the Bengals. Neither is leaving for ANY team, that was just assumptions of who people wanted, not even a possibility either of them would leave their respective positions.

by jpcisco on Jan 13, 2012 7:50 PM CST up reply actions  

The Bengals have done a great job of getting young talent on that team

I don’t see him being able to resist taking a HC job elsewhere, if they continue to improve. Dalton to AJ Green seemed to come pretty easily for them this season

by DCRamFan on Jan 13, 2012 7:55 PM CST up reply actions  

Then why did he??

He refused to interview with the Rams or anyone else.

by Brick Top on Jan 13, 2012 7:56 PM CST up reply actions  

I wasnt suggesting that he'd be going anywhere this season

but I just see him being more sought out next year, if that offense continues to click (which I would think it would). My opinion is that his stock would only rise. I could be wrong, but it just seems like human nature to me that money would ultimately pull him out of his OC job if the inquiries were to continue. Seems clear to me he’s happy with his job right now though, so I won’t argue with you there

Yeah that is why I said fisher was the best of what was out there.

MANY MOONS AGO! When Sanchez wasn’t going out with Kate. I was playing Madden and I had just completed a game where I made Sanchez my bitch. He had the worst game of his career (or as it’s called in the real world every other week.) I won by it shit ton and decided to insult the sanchize. " Take that Sanchez! Take you and your sixteen year old girlfriend back across the border!"

As a long-time Titans fan, I wish you guys the best of luck.

That said, this whole saga has been something of a mystery to me. Yes, Jeff Fisher is a good coach who will make your team competitive most of the time. He is a mountain of stability and a players’ coach and all that.

But.

He is not Moses coming down off the mountain. In fact, if you look at his body of work, it is, in mathematical terms, the square root of what a guy like Marty Schottenheimer has done in his career. Literally HALF the career wins in about the same number (or more) of total starts.

More to the point, folks like to act like the Titans over-achieved with crappy personnel. This is just not accurate. In better coaching hands, Steve McNair could’ve been a Hall of Fame Quarterback. Eddie George was a legend coming out of college and ran for 10,000 total yards as an NFL back. Jevon Kearse was, well, the Freak. And, oh by the way, the Titans had the League’s best O-Line and D-Line coaches.

In fact, our old O-Line coach, Mike Munchak, is so good that when HE took over the team, he easily surpassed the performance of Fisher with basically the same personnel. I mean, you trade Collins for Hasslebeck, and that’s an upgrade. But how big? It’s something, sure. But we also lost Kenny Britt. And improved our record…

In any event, Fisher twice had the best team in football and got bounced from the playoffs in the first (Divisional) round at home. He stubbornly refuses to start young talent in favor of letting aging veterans stay on the field. And he wants to play HIS game, regardless of the actual strengths of weaknesses of your actual personnel.

So. I like the Rams, wish you well, and won’t mind if you do well. As any good Titans fan would, in my heart of hearts, I would like to meet you in the Super Bowl next year to avenge an old wound.

With that said, I want you guys to go into this with your eyes open. Jeff Fisher is a career .500 coach who’s had a LOT of talent over the years but still never gotten over the hump, thanks at least in part to some very good scouting from others besides himself. When he was given additional personnel control in Tennessee, it was a disaster.

In short, I think what your management wanted was the Second Coming of Marty Schottenheimer (full disclosure: I love Marty). But what you got is the Second Coming of Brian Billick, but with a Defensive mindset and no Super Bowl ring.

There are plenty of Rams fans that agree with you.

I’m not overly thrilled by the signing. Not to say Fisher is a bad coach, but it’s as if he’s been heralded as one of the greats of the last twenty years, which is far from the truth. I’m not too fond of his demands for organizational control; it all reeks of a bit of arrogance. Nonetheless, after the brutal last many five years, I can understand some people being happy to just get a consistent 8-8 guy, because right now by the Rams’ standards that would be a remarkable improvement.

From Wikipedia:

Marty Schottenheimer is 200-126-1.

You’re right that that’s not exactly 2-1.

Look, like I said, I wish you guys the best. Personally, I would’ve hired Schottenheimer (who is looking for a job after winning the UFL Championship last year), but that’s just me.

After dealing with Spaz and Linehan....Fisher is the second coming of sick Vermeil to us....

We had to get a proven leader who will “right the ship” an draft good personnel. While obviously the overall goal for all teams is winning a super bowl I just want to be competitive again. I want other teams to NOT want to play us for a change. I just want the rams to be relevant again. And while Jeff Fisher isn’t Lombardi….he will make us relevant again.

Steven Jackson is a beast, a legend, a HoFer and should be treated as such.

I just got off the phone with Fisher

He wants you to pick another team to root for in 2012

Haha

But that was THE most positive post I’ve ever seen from him

Yes!

He is a consistant winner..those Titans teams were always competative even without the most accurate passers..good running teams..good defenses..Not to mention that Fisher was a part of the competition commitee..he is very professional and thorough..this hire will bring positive results as soon as next season!

A lot of us Titan fans...

…are completely befuddled by the excitement over this guy.

Most Titan fans were sick of the lack of winning seasons and the player cronyism that Fisher displayed.

One thing you can see here is the triumph of “brand marketing” over results. Fisher spent a lot of QT on TV, the competition committee, buddying up with he likes of Adam Schefter, etc. effectively cultivating the “Jeff Fisher” brand. You pay premiums for brands in this world.

I wish Fisher had been this smart as the Titans head coach. Nothing like fresh start. Kind of sets up a sitauion similar to here in Devner. They ran McDaniels out of town, but now can’t get enough of Tebow and Thomas, his first two (and initially derided) draft picks.

The Rams will do better next year – and Fisher will take the credit.

well when you have 5 shit years (1 was ok, but the ending to it made it shit)

we’ll take an 8-8 record and a real shot at making the playoffs in this NFC West.

Exactly, but we find something to bitch about every year

So I wouldn’t be surprised if after 4 seasons we start complaining about Fisher’s mediocrity…or rejoice with a deep playoff run

It's not so much about Fisher being the Messiah....

but about us finally having ownership willing to do dramatic things, to not accept 2nd or 3rd best. Like him or not Fisher is the prime prize of this years coaching targets. We got him when, in past ownership eras, we probably would have lost out to Miami. It is, of course, a destination city with a lot to offer a guy who has a family to think of.

The nature of the phone call from Kroenke on the night before his decision has a lot to do with my optimism. Apparently Stan called Fisher and sealed the deal with reassurance of the business structure. No team is being talked about relocating more than the Rams, and nothing seemed more important to Fisher than team stability, and we still got him. Our owner demonstrated a competitiveness we haven’t experienced from ownership in many, many years.

Accept your ownership

But hasn’t he accepted 2nd and 3rd most of his career?

It just occurred to me

Fisher was concerned with Rams moving and he came here…no move?

I keep trying to tell you guys there is no way the Rams are moving. San Diego, no matter what they have said recently in the press, is the team that is moving to L.A.

I actually think the Rams are about #5 or #6 on the list of teams that could move. I also think the Cincinnati Bengals may be the team to watch as a move candidate if L.A. adds a second team down the road.
As far as Fisher taking the job being a basis for believing the Rams won’t move…? I think he just added a “moving clause” to his contract that pays him tons of money and gives him an out if the Rams were to move.

the no votes are all coming from bengals and dolphins fans

miami for losing fisher, bengals for probably losing zimmer to miami now.

"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."

Fisher,about time.

“I’ve been a head coach for 17 years and 12 of them sucked because I had to fight for what I wanted.”

He won’t have to fight for anything here, because Kroenke has given him ultimate authority to shape the future of the Rams. It is a page ripped right out of the book, “War Room: The Legacy of Bill Belichick and the Art of Building The Perfect Team,” that Kroenke says mirrors his beliefs on how winning franchises operate, and this is proof of that.

Fisher will map this all out. He will decide what this franchise’s personality will be, and there will be no confusion about it. The scouts will know what they are looking for because Fisher will tell them. Everyone will be on the same page, from top to bottom and for the first time in the history of the St. Louis Rams franchise we will know without a doubt who is in charge.

I refuse to give my opinion

I just want more pics of Kate. That’s all I have to say about anything Fishy.

Gold and Blue, through and through.
