Report Jeff Fisher to Make $7 Million A Year

This Jeff Fisher thing is truly amazing. There is a report out there this morning that Fisher is going to get a 5-year contract worth $35 million. In case you are not very good at math, that means that Fisher will be making $7 million a year. That puts him behind Bill Belichick, who makes $7.5 million a year, and tied with Mike Shanahan at $7 million.
Keep in mind that Belichick and Shanahan have a combined 5 Super Bowl rings. Jeff Fisher has none, and it literally took a miracle to get him to his only Super Bowl. Good luck with that St. Louis.
It also appears that the move for Gregg Williams from New Orleans to St. Louis is all but official. That is obviously a good move for Fisher, but if you are a Rams fan you are much more concerned with who he brings in as offensive coordinator. Fisher has shown in the past that he will let his defensive coordinators do what they want. Williams will blitz early and often.
Most of his offensive coordinators did the same thing here, so you have to believe that Fisher had a heavy influence in that (with the exception being Mike Heimerdinger with Steve McNair). Maybe he will let his OC free with Sam Bradford at QB, but I will believe it when I see it.

I don't get what all the fuss is about.
He was scheduled to make 6.5 million his last year here. 7 million is right around what many thought he’d get.

But the thing is does he really deserve that?
6.5 for his last year was too much and 7 is way too much for a consistently mediocre coach. He’s 5-6 in the playoffs

But he had been here since the dawn of time at that point.
He kinda should have been making a boat load by then, but eventually parted ways because he wasn’t getting the job done… why pay him the same salary he was getting after all of that time, when his own faults lost him his last job, in a sense, for being here too long?

I think that all the experience helps you get a bigger contract.
You don’t last 17 years in the league, for one team or many, if you’re a moron. Since the Dolphins would have offered him 8 million+, he’s clearly viewed as a solid coach. This all seems like much ado about nothing. Honestly seems like everyone just wants to jump on the chance to direct their hate to Fisher for any reason whatsoever.

I def. don't see him as a moron, I think he would still be here actually if he didn't overstep his bounds
Personally I was ready for the breath of fresh air, because it seem liked year in-and-year-out we’d field the same type of team and pretty much end the same way.
What is fueling my Fisher hate is media/mega-contract talks + that article that was written by Jason Cole… granted none of that is directly his fault, but I hate hearing shit talked about my team for no reason, especially while we have a good vibe going through here.
That and the fact he’s trying to poach our coaching staff.

I'm not saying he shouldn't have been fired or let go or whatever it was that happened.
Just that he’s an above average coach, has a ton of experience and was making a hefty salary at his last HC job. All those things considered, I’m not surprised he’s making 7 million.

Sounds like they're not going to take Loggains after all, which is great news.
I’d assume Munchak will block any lateral move if they requested one. That staff is actually really solid. Fisher, probably Schottenheimer if La Canfora can be believed, and Gregg Williams. Outstanding even.

Meh, I'm not as high on Schottenheimer.
Williams obviously does his thing, but we also saw this weekend that if those blitzes are picked up his defense can be picked apart and exposed quite easily.
I’m curious to see if Washburn will join him. Supposedly the Eagles want to bring Spagnuolo back but he doesn’t like the Wide 9 nor how Washburn is opinionated and pretty much likes to operate independently. If they REALLY want Spags back, I wonder if they’d let Washburn walk.

That was my take.
I’m sick of talking about Fisher, though, personally.

Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans!

It's not even that, with me.
I’m just sick of having the “Fisher debate” when he’s not our coach anymore. It seems like we’re taking every chance to beat up on him for how crappy he was here and make fun of the Rams out of one side of our mouths, while talking about how sick we are of hearing about him out of the other sides of our mouths.
For better or worse, he’s the Rams’ coach and the Rams’ problem now. Not ours.

I agree with WTF on this
Why the fuss?
How I see it, tearing down Fisher’s achievements is akin to tearing down basically all of the Titans’ Tennessee history. So are you saying this team has been crap since the move? Or are you saying that Fisher’s coaching held them back?
I agree that Fisher’s presence grew stale in Nashville, but that doesn’t mean he can’t build up a team elsewhere.

You didn't get the memo that Fisher absolutely caused:
Lendale fumble
Fumbled snap
Crumpler fumble
INT
Fisher made us suck on purpose and waste our 1seed, because that’s what he does.

I don't doubt he will make them competitive again...
but he won’t bring them much further then that IMO.
What he did for the Titans and the coach he became in the last 3-4 years have not a lot to do with each other. He is definitely not the same coach he was 10 years ago.

It is the NFC West. The 9ers are pretty good now, but the Cards and Hawks both lack an identity.
Also, with the league changing towards the pass – who knows – maybe Fish is cool with adjusting. shrug

Don't underestimate the impact of Fisher having an actual QB on the offense.
I would be surprised if it was so run-heavy. I think it’ll be more like a 60-40 split.

It all depends on how much emphasis you place on the Vince Young and Kerry Collins era.
My take is that winning as many games as he did with Vince is admirable and impressive. And while the much-publicized Kerry Collins love affair is a talking point for those questioning Fisher’s later years, I’m left to wonder if Fisher just wanted the consistently average and mediocre QB instead of the immature, sporadically great one.
Fisher deserves lots of blame for his last years here, especially considering he had the most power. But I’d wager that what you’re going to see in St Louis is much, much closer to the 1999-2002 Fisher than the 2009-2010 one.

I very much doubt this…
and I don’t think winning with Vunce was that big of a surprise, the kid could make some magic happen coming out of college… a lot like Tebow had this year, but watching what Fox did with Tebow, makes me wonder why we could not have done the same with Vunce? – granted, I wanted to still see what happens with him next year.

Problem with that is the defense DOES have a gameplan...
If you put Young vs. a defense that hasn’t studied or gameplanned for him, I give him the advantage based on pure athleticism and ability to extend plays. But as we saw, defenses figured out how to stop him and shut him down even when he did run around.

Broncos offense is probably the least complicated offense in the NFL.
What’s the better way to handle a “retarded” man-child at QB:
1. Complicated offense, with new drops from under center.
2. 2- read system based out of the shotgun heavily based in zone read
If anything, Vince’s intellectual shortcomings and emotional instability were even more of a reason to dumb down an offense.
No!
It’s a round hole! If the peg is still square, that simply means you haven’t hit it hard enough yet.

Struggled to stay healthy even without taking all the extra hits he would take doing more running. That stuff if entirely unsustainable in the NFL. If you get your qb hit a lot, without exception, you will end up sorry for it at some point in the long run.

Depends on how you look at it, I guess.
To your point, I pretty much agree.
In this example though, I firmly believe that Fisher never wanted Vince and didn’t like his attitude from the beginning. So, design an offense that maximizes his talents and puts him at injury risk. Win-win.
Every time Vunce ran I almost had to close my eyes
because I knew something bad was coming.

Looking back, KC was just the only option Fish had. Vince played when KC wasn’t prepared yet. KC played when Vince wasn’t prepared.
Both QBs frustrated the hell out of me. >:(

I think the Rams will be competitive again.
I also think it’ll have little to with Fisher and almost everything to do with Sam Bradford. With a few exceptions, winning consistently in the NFL is about production at the QB position. The vast majority of coaches that will make it to the HOF in the modern era also have a HOF caliber franchise QB.
Nothing revelatory about this statement. I can just see a situation where Bradford starts to hit his stride, the Rams start winning, and the MSM gives the lions share of credit to Fisher.
True, I think Bradfords terrible year was a fluke-sophmore slump.
He was damn good his rookie year, I think he’ll return more to that.

ive said for a while now
most important thing an NFL HC does (unless they have player personnel control or call plays on offense, of course) is hire 2 good coordinators. bringing gregg williams in will be all about Fisher, and a great thing for the Rams.
i still think Fisher’s most fireable offense here was Chuck Cecil. you have to put capable people at the 2 coordinators, or else.

Move on already...
Jeez, Fisher has been gone over a year already. I’m looking forward to the day that MCM moves on already and let’s go of their bitterness. Besides, Fisher isn’t pulling the wool over anyone’s eyes. No one hire him if they didn’t think he couldn’t do a good job. And if he sucks at the Rams, well that’s their problem not ours. Move on, move on, move on already.
God after watching the Fisher introductory presser I am so glad he's gone ....
He still looks really really tired and burnt out and all the “confident babble” he spewed out sounded like the same crap we heard for the past 10 years. I’m sure the Rams will be a much better team under Fisher but they’re still going to be one of the most boring teams in the league to watch live.
