Rams Reach Five-Year Deal With Jeff Fisher; Will Introduce At Tuesday Press Conference

in St. Louis Rams Hire Jeff Fisher
Email
PrintThe St. Louis Rams have agreed to a contract with their new head coach, Jeff Fisher. Adam Schefter reported on Monday evening that the Rams and Fisher agreed to a five year deal. Fisher will sign the deal on Tuesday.
Terms, Tuesday's press conference and more after the jump.
Terms of Fisher's deal with the Rams are unknown at this time. He was expected to earn a handsome salary that would make him one of the highest paid coaches in the league. He was slated to make $6.5 million with the Titans in 2011, before he and the team decided to part ways after the 2010 season. Fisher's deal with the Rams would almost certainly have that figure as a floor, and it's likely to be closer to $7 million per season. The Dolphins were rumored to be willing to pay Fisher $8 million per season.
Fisher will be introduced at a 1:00 p.m. press conference at the team facility tomorrow. The event will be available via streaming video, and we'll have complete coverage here at TST.

It's unknown whether or not Fisher will introduce any members of his coaching staff on Tuesday. Both Gregg Williams and Brian Schottenheimer have agreed to be Fisher's defensive and offensive coordinators, respectively, it's unknown whether or not they have both agreed to contracts.

Fisher's introduction as the Rams new head coach comes barely two weeks after the team fired Steve Spagnuolo and Billy Devaney. Owner Stan Kroenke interviewed Fisher on Jan. 4 and 5 in Denver, and he visited Rams Park on Jan. 8. A week of deliberation followed, in which his whim was filtered up from Twitter to the nightly news. Fisher let Kroenke know on Thursday, Jan. 12, that he would take the job with the Rams, and news of his decision broke Friday afternoon, leaked out of the Dolphins organization after he let them know his decision.

This is good
Cause at least now if we pick Shotty, it means Fish feels really good about him, and didn’t just hire him after a day

Yeah, Hue would fit better with Fisher as well
From a philosophy standpoint as far as liking to run, while still not being Shurmurr in the passing game

Sounds good other then the fact that......
We have a nearly 30 RB who has been the workhorse of this team for 6+ yrs already and is now solely running on his knees after wearing down his legs…..And with no successor or even a decent spell guy on the roster we are pretty much screwed.

How bout we, as I've said before:
Do two trade downs, take Upshaw, Worthy, and Lamar Miller in the first two rounds and get Stephen Hill in the 3rd. Also, Michael Bush is a FA

Haha, sorry, but I just love the guy
And I was posting that one more to say we could get Lamar Miller

Finally we will have success and stability.
I don’t think that he will instantly transform our team, but things look better than they have in a long time.

Ok, so we have:
Coach Fisher and Williams
We could get: Jackson or Shotty and Washburn

Jackson and Washburn please.

I know he will most likely just go back to retirement
But if we get Washburn and Castillo goes back to coaching the o-line in Philly, Washburn needs to try and bring Howard Mudd with him
Note to Douglas M: Remember that 99% of what I say involves BS
by King Sam Rules! on Jan 16, 2012 8:50 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Mudd has health problems from what I've heard.
So he might retire for good soon.

I know, which is sad cause from what I hear his players love him
And he was definetly great, but even if we could get him for only a year, he’d do wonders for the o-line
Note to Douglas M: Remember that 99% of what I say involves BS
by King Sam Rules! on Jan 16, 2012 8:53 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Mudd has a clause that he can leave
Maybe Washburn convinces him to come to St Louis?

Washburn is the one most likely
Fisher puts together the key pieces of his 99 defense on the coaching staff with Williams and Washburn. The thought of Washburn coaching Long and Quinn makes me need to change my pants. And cue the bad Rampage joke

Some feel that the Eagles are gonna not even be interested in continuing the wide-9 cause if Spags goes there
And Washburn might already want to come to the Lou. Also, he and Mudd are friends, so maybe he could bring him with him

I thought we were pretty much set on Shotty? by pretty much I meant, he's in. I'm fine with Hue, mainly because he won't leave after 1 season if it's a good one
Beating off the dog is never appropriate when we have company over...... I mean EVER!
Maybe things are turning sour with Shotty?
Maybe it was overblown? Maybe Fisher realized Hue is a better fit here?

"I learned that Madonna will be singing at the Super Bowl. I thought this was football not the soundtrack to your menopause." ~ RAMpage28
So we have Jeff and Williams
Hue Jackson is the hot name to be coordinator now IMO, and Washburn seems like it might be happening. The out lying “if all these guys including this guy come here I’ll be in heaven” is old Howard Mudd (who likes old Kanobi IMO). If ALL of these guys (Washburn, Jackson, and then Mudd in order of my opinion of likelihood) were to come here, this is a great coaching staff
