Rams Have Not Yet Scheduled An Interview With Jeff Fisher

It's been about 48 hours since the St. Louis Rams fired head coach Steve Spagnuolo and GM Billy Devaney. Since those firings and the Monday afternoon press conference from Rams COO Kevin Demoff, it's been quiet. Naturally, the rumor mill has filled the vacuum, and the name that keeps coming up in connection with the Rams is Jeff Fisher.

On Monday, Demoff denied early rumors that the Rams had an interview lined up with Fisher, while still leaving the door open for the possibility of the team pursuing him. Tony Softli reported today on Twitter that team and league sources said that the Rams do not have a "date or time" for an interview with Fisher.

Fisher's name is a popular one, the most popular one right now. He interviewed with the Dolphins on Tuesday, and there are rumors about him being a potential candidate in Indianapolis, depending on what Jim Irsay does with Jim Caldwell. No one's ruling him out in Kansas City either, but the conventional wisdom there still says Romeo Crennel is the next head coach.

The Miami Herald jumped in on the Demoff-Fisher connection - Kevin Demoff's father Marvin is Fisher's agent - following the Dolphins' interview with Fisher. Essentially, Armando Salguero suggests that the Rams don't need to wait in line to talk to Fisher, much less go through the full interview and vetting process.

Jeff Fisher regardless

We can not let go Jeff Fisher to another team. The Rams need to be a serious team and thus must hire a coach with experience in the NFL. Let’s not fall into the history of the last few years, enough coaches without head coaching experience.

Truer words never spoken

You said it PERFECT. As fans and hell players such as Steven, Laur, Long, and a handful more deserve a coach with experience. The Rams are not a NFL Coaches science experiment like the owners think it is.

DeJa Vu

remember the last time we did this? We sat around and let DAMN Good coaches get gobbled up by other teams. This year, will be no different. They will sit on their pocket books, and hands and scratch their heads and before we know it it will be one week till the draft and they will hir some schmuck like Bowles, or worse bring Fartz back here. Hate to sound negative, but since Dick V. it has been a night mare for this team and us fans. The decisions the front office and owners have made, it is like they want this team to be in the toilet forever. They better get Fisher or some coach with a GREAT NUMBER experience as a HEAD NFL coach. Not one of these give a guy a chance coaches!!
