Questions About L.A. Move Concern Jeff Fisher

in St. Louis Rams Hire Jeff Fisher
Email
Print
Jeff Fisher is at Rams Park today, getting an inside look at the team ready to make him a big offer to be their next head coach. He even met with quarterback Sam Bradford, and by all accounts, he's leaning toward singing on with the St. Louis Rams. But there's a hang up. Fisher apparently wants more assurances about the team's long-term plans for which American city they'll call home.
According to Jim Thomas at the Post-Dispatch, Fisher has concerns about the team relocating to Los Angeles and the disruption that causes.
Fisher knows a thing or two about a franchise relocating. He started as a head coach in the NFL with the Houston Oilers. Then Bud Adams moved the team when they couldn't get a new stadium to Tennessee. During that span, Fisher and the team struggled, going 8-8 in two seasons after relocating. That relocation found Fisher trying to run his team from a collection of FEMA-like trailers at training camp, not the kind of situation coaches like to deal with in their efforts to field a winner.
Fisher's visit is wrapping up at the moment, and whether or not his concerns about geography were addressed remains to be seen.
Just what kind of assurances Fisher received from Stan Kroenke will also be of interest to Rams fans. It's hard to tell their future plans, but gestures by the Rams bode well for a long term future in St. Louis. The team has gone to great lengths to expand their footprint in the community, doing everything from charity work to buying up tickets to prevent a blackout. They have a February rendezvous with the city's Convention and Visitor's Bureau to talk about plans for an upgrade to the Edward Jones Dome.
Kroenke made his billions in real estate, suburban strip malls anchored by Wal Mart stores. He understands that the real money in NFL ownership is in owning the building, and his best chances for that are in Missouri.
Stay tuned.

Seems like Fisher will come to the Lou

They're not moving. f*** LA
LA is almost as bad as SF for me when it comes to sports. Niners, Giants and Dodgers can all go to hell.

Really?
As a fan of the Rams since the the mid 70’s, I have to disagree. I thinks it’s funny you say the fan bases in LA suck when there are a lot of people who live in the LA area who happen to still be Rams fans….myself included. Not only that, but the Angels happened to draw well over 3 million fans for the 8th consecutive season. That number will only increase now that a former Cardinals player is now playing here.
Go Rams!

On a related note,
and this is nothing against Angel fans, but that aforementioned former Cardinals player is, in fact, a whore.
Any Cardinal “fan” that decides to stop cheering for St. Louis in lieu of him leaving can hit the road as well.
Long Live Stan Musial.

I understand
When Georgia Frontiere upped and moved the Rams to St. Louis, I called her every name in the book. Until the day she died I considered her a whore, but I have still remained a loyal fan of the Rams. I doubt Pujols decision will sway the loyal Cardinals fans either.
Go Rams!
by GoRamsandAngels on Jan 9, 2012 10:28 AM CST via mobile up reply actions
I am not putting down the Cardinals or their fans
why the hate on the Angels? They weren’t terribly far out of first last year and they have put a couple of nice pieces in place to help them contend. I happen to think the Angels have a good shot at the World Series…especially with Wilson added to an already decent rotation.
Go Rams!
by GoRamsandAngels on Jan 9, 2012 3:28 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
No hate here.
I actually like the Halos. I don’t blame them for throwing that much cash out there- Steinbrenner has done it for years. The hate lies with Albert and his “it’s not about the money” preaching during that whole thing.
Between Weaver and Wilson, your rotation alone is pretty nasty. Need a good bullpen to get through the playoffs, as we’ve all learned.
"Fac Fortia et Patere"
by FailureDrill on Jan 9, 2012 3:55 PM CST via Android app up reply actions
I didn't think you were putting the Angels down.
I was actually referring to Brick Tops’ comment. I took his comment as stating Pujols has no chance to win another ring anytime soon. That would reflect upon his team not having a chance which I strongly disagree with.
As far as the bullpen goes, I am a bit concerned…won’t lie. Hawkins might be a nice addition, but I would still like to see somebody like Madson added.

Oh cool. A Pac-12 bottom-feeder.
Even if you take our National Championship in 04 our of the equation, we still have TWICE as many NATIONAL championships as oregon state has CONFERENCE titles. Your only Heisman winner went to USC Law School after his failed bust career with the Rams.
If it weren’t for Steven Jackson, I’d question your presence/relevance in USC’s conference. Our 2012 schedule shows me you’re lucky to dodge the bullets Matt Barkley deals out next season, unless you somehow manage to win the North and visit us in the Pac-12 Title game. Something tells me it’s not likely, but I hope you do so we can give you an epic ass-whoopin’ like Oregon did to the ucla clowns.

I always hate when people say MJ is the best basketball player, which I also agree with,
but their logic is that he won 6 championships and that’s it!! By that logic, Bill Russel must be the best player ever because he won 11!!
Jordan was completely and utterly dominant and he won
Imo the top two are Jordan and Kobe.

Kobe played in the triangle with Shaq and Gasol
Tje triangle is designed to be based on big men. Jordan never played with a post player like them, and so he was the defacto focus of the offense. I think if you put Kobe in the Jordan Bulls, it’s almost exactly the same, only a small drop off. At the least we can say this: Kobe has copied Jordan completely, and once he is gone, no one will be left who plays the game the way it should be

I kinda love Eli
Cause he is a prototype qb. Has an amazing arm, can see the field great, great at escaping when the pocket collapses. All that though is when he plays to his ability, which he has this year. Any chance that not having Peyton to live up to this year is part of that?

Eli does his best/his team does better when Peyton isn't playing
Peyton didn’t reach the AFC championship the year Eli won, and Eli proceeded to win against the Favre Packers and Brady Patriots. When Peyton isn’t around for people to compare Eli to, he plays better cause he doesn’t have to measure up to big brother.

Brady would be looking for revenge and Eli didn’t win that superbowl, that defense did. If it happens, Brady gets his revenge, gets his 4th ring and has ESPN go nuts about Brady vs Montana..

And Eli is playing out of his mind this year. Eli against Pats defense > Brady vs against a good playing Giants defense. Again, I’m now convinced its a younger brother thing is what has kept Eli back and now that Peyton isn’t around he has come out of his shell

Keep thinking the team wont leave. Keep taking them for granted. You never know what a businessman is thinking, say one thing and do another…you people know nothing about LA so please stop acting as if you do.

And it’s not like the Dodgers are trying to build a new stadium where they’d need the fund from their city, where the hell are you getting that from? If the Torre/Caruso team wins the bid for the Dodgers, they’ll have no problem fixing everything up. MLB aren’t taking over the team like they did the Red Sox (and we saw how that worked out… A WS title). I don’t live in California and I do not care for the Chargers at all, so no thank you.

I agree with that about Dodgers
I think a point was made though.Now Look at it from my point. Every tme there is a coach change the RAM, i have to deal with ALL the people Rams are moving. I SAINT LOUIS BILLIONAIRE married to the Wal_Mart fortune and you still think it is coming back? Here is agreat idea “GET OVER IT”:

I really don't care where the Rams are.
I personally would love to see them back in LA but obviously, I still love them in STL. And if it means Fisher signs a 10 year contract here, keep the Rams in STL for the next 10+ years.

So you love the Minnisota Lakers?

Became a Rams' fan when I first started loving football in 1999.
They were in St. Louis as I recall. If they moved to Los Angeles, I’d be thrilled. It’s my home. It’s all I know. But I don’t need them here to support and love the team since I’ve never needed it before.

Nah actually LA Lakers.
My grandfather’s from Vegas and that’s where my dad grew up, so he was a fan of Lakers, Dodgers, and LA Rams. Unfortunately, I never really got to watch the Rams in LA because I was 3 when they left, but those are my teams since I could walk and talk.

Good attitude.
None of us really have any say as to where the Rams locate. We can choose to follow them or not for our own reasons.
I have no problem with someone from LA supporting the team in StL. I do get ticked with people that think since they have been Rams fans longer they are somehow truer fans or that they have dibs on the team. In the Midwest we tend to have a much stronger sense of community than those on the west and we tend to cheer for the city/region and not purely for the team. Neither approach to loyalty is wrong or right.
Any way you slice it moving a team sucks and even if your interest are improved by a move it’s in poor taste to openly and outwardly bertate a community in jeopardy of losing it’s team. It’s also wrong to constantly put down an entire area with baseless insults.
The best thing that could happen is for Kronke to publicly state his intention to keep the Rams in St Louis and for the community to commit to helping Stan with a new stadium when it’s the right time for one.
St. Louis fans at least the ones that show up to the EJD
are about the flattest crowd i’ve ever heard. I really hate that we don’t have a bunch of fiercely loyal, rabid fans like the Raiders, browns, Seattle, Etc. even in down times, they cheer like the end of days and believe that their team is one player away from the playoffs. This whole scene just wreaks of mediocracy. I cant stand it. The team is soft, the four pillars is soft, the crowds are soft, Spags and Devaney were soft. Its about time the Rams start creating a sense of urgency, get a bad taste in their mouth and get a bad attitude. Now i dont mean i want to be the Detroit Lions, but this is football, the Rams play with no heart and thats why they are 2-14, thats why this regime is gone, thats why everyone wants to move the fuckin franchise. Its just stale. People want to change everything about the rams because they are a boring fuckin team. the only thing i like about the Rams right now is their uniform, cuz its the same one ive been rooting for the past 20 years. I hope Fisher can change it, or LA can change it, anything but whats goin on right now
I like the blue and gold from LA and into the Super Bowl season :p
Yeah it’s the same thing with USC. The Coliseum is really dull when they’re average, but when they’re good… Man, this year’s Stanford-USC environment was unbelievable. Wish I could go to a game.

Back when there was a competitive team to root for,
like 10 years ago (jesus, it’s depressing to write that), the EJ Dome was mind blowingly loud.
People are going to find better ways to spend their Sundays when the team on the field is miserable. St. Louis, LA, pretty much wherever. Places like Green Bay are few and far between.

Nah I don't judge a fan if they jump on from a bandwagon
or if they become one because they move to their city, as long as they love their team. It’s how I became a USC fan, I jumped on that Leinart bandwagon and I’ve never looked back. Hell, probably a bigger fan since I moved out to Vegas than I was when they were winning BCS bowl games year after year. I have a huge respect for Cardinals fans, actually. Really passionate and nice. My best friend with me in Vegas is a Cardinals fan, definitely was rooting for them.

And yeah I agree, no need to put down other teams from that area,
which is the only reason I jumped into this conversation. Hate seeing the Lakers and Dodgers being dragged into stuff like this, especially when they’re negative comments.

I realize
that they’re the same franchise, but it’s as if they wanted nothing to do with being the Sonics and wanted to start fresh, not like the Rams or the Hornets moving cities.

Cause I'm saying it about the city you live in, not you...but now I am: fuck you.
Didn’t know the giant city of Corvallis would make you so mad, with their powerhouse program.
Plus isn’t UCLA in the same city too?
And yes, UO is trash. Even though, you know, they’ve won the PAC10/12 3 years in a row now.
Beating off the dog is never appropriate when we have company over...... I mean EVER!
Ditto Corvallis. You have no basis for calling my city trash.
I’ll reiterate that I am not bothered by Oregon State garbage, much less mad.
ucla is in Westwood. That’s a suburb of Los Angeles that isn’t akin to the blood, sweat, and tears of urban Los Angeles. It’s closer to the Hollywood image so many people mistakenly have of this place.
Didn’t stop us from ending their 20+ game home-winning streak did it? :D

I'm not from Corvallis so I don't care
but every time I’m there, I love it. One of the best college towns.
The hollywood image and all the rich snobby people is the reason for my LA “hatred”. The only knock I have on STL (besides the crime) is how shitty people drive there. Seriously, it was awful. Switching 3 lanes at once to make an exit at the last second when they’ve had 2+ miles to do so.
Beating off the dog is never appropriate when we have company over...... I mean EVER!
Yeah, well I hate that image too.
But the other 6 million people don’t live like that and have to go to work 8-5 or more like any other blue-collar city.
I’m willing to admit I know nothing of Corvallis, but you obviously lack knowledge of Los Angeles, or you generalize idiotically.

I remember those. Any team can have a bad day.
But you compare our all time record, we have a 59-11-4 record against Oregon State.
Not to mention a 70%+ All-Time record against this conference. It should be renamed after us.

well considering SC is basically LA's pro team...
Southern california is one of the top recruiting places in the nation, that’s why teams want to play UCLA or USC. Easier to recruit when they’re all in your back yard.
Since I’m a Beavers and Rams fans games like those are basically what you root for – just a complete underdog taking out the powerhouse, love it.
Next year’s civil war game? I can dream.

I have no problem with that. I root for the Rams after all. I can root for a losing team quite well.
Just know that ucla is the Clippers of this town, and they don’t have a Blake Griffin in sight.
I hope you knock off Oregon, we’ll soften them up for you at the Coliseum.

really
You do realize their are still a lot Southern CA Rams here. Same for Raiders. When I went to the Rams and Chargers game a few years ago It was almost half full of Rams fans. We still cringe on Sunday just like St. Louis fans. Do we want the Rams to come back to LA in the new Billion dollar stadium they will build. Hell yeah. Better than getting the Jaguars or Chargers. Difference is the Supersonics were there for over 40 years and nobody else to route for really. In the end, almost no owner is really going to turn down the deal to LA unless they get a better offer to stay. Right now its just a waiting game for St. Louis, SD, Jacksonville, and anybody else ending their stadium deals to force those cities to pony up either a better stadium retrofit whatever.
No one to cheer for?
Seahawks, UW, shit the blazers are down the road.
You’re just acting almost bitter that they left. I’ve met plenty of LA Rams fans, in Reno most recently and I know there are plenty out there, but probably more in MO. You know, it’s where they won a ring.

You know, Sergey, for all the doom-and-gloom bitching this guy does around here, I have yet to see him contribute to a conversation with a suggestion. Fisher is a punk for making demands (which is a hilarious statement), yet this dude offers no alternative scenario.
I’d be right half the time if I spouted off the negative possible outcome for everything, too. A broken watch is right twice a day, too.
