AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted January 13, 2012 Breaking news on ESPN right now. Wow, everyone seemed to think he was going to Miami. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baltimoreravens 19 Posted January 13, 2012 Like I said in the Dolphins thread, he has more longevity here. If they win 5 games he can consider it a success. Nowhere to go but up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted January 13, 2012 Well, he took job security over a better shot at a championship. It's not like he's gonna get the Rams anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllYouNeedIsLovie 377 Posted January 13, 2012 Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Fisher selected St. Louis over Miami due to the "structure" the Rams offered. They have a potential franchise QB in Sam Bradford, the No. 2 pick in the draft, and will allow Fisher have say in St. Louis' general-manager search. The Rams are expected to make Fisher one of the NFL's highest paid coaches. After the Oilers/Titans' move from Houston to Nashville, Fisher had the NFL's fifth highest win percentage from 1998-2008 before a falling out with management. In St. Louis, Fisher will be able to essentially handpick his front office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 442 Posted January 13, 2012 Just more reason for the Dolphins to hate Jeff Ireland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 442 Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) From what I just heard Fisher was willing to basically split control with Ireland but Stephen Ross said no, Ireland would have to have all control. That's the main reason he picked the Rams. Edited January 13, 2012 by Shotgun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted January 13, 2012 Just more reason for the Dolphins to hate Jeff Ireland. Yup, but they have their full support behind him. Imagine the pain when and if he fails for the last time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted January 13, 2012 Ireland continues to fail the Fins. I can tell you that the reaction here in South Florida is very negative right about now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zack_of_Steel+ 3,014 Posted January 13, 2012 Any team that signs Jeff Fisher is setting themselves up to be a lame duck team. He was a coach for 17 seasons, won his division only 3 times, made the playoffs 6 times. Fisher was 5-6 in the playoffs with 3 of those wins coming in 1999 during their Super Bowl run and the last of which came in 2003. His all time record was 142-120 in the regular season and he as known for conservativeness that drove fans mad. I think the Dolphins got lucky. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted January 13, 2012 Yeah, Jeff screwed himself here. Give the Dolphins a hard nosed defensive minded coach and they'll work wonders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted January 13, 2012 Yes. Big time. They were sure he was their guy. I dunno, if I'm a Dolphins fan I see a lot of potentially good names out there. I don't think Fisher is a stand-out candidate, for most of the reasons Zack stated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 442 Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) His contract is up after the season. He'll probably take whoever pays the most. Or at least that's the thought of the media. Edited January 13, 2012 by Shotgun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milla4Prez63 678 Posted January 13, 2012 Well, he took job security over a better shot at a championship. It's not like he's gonna get the Rams anywhere. The Dolphins have no real shot at a championship anytime soon lol. He is better off in St. Louis, young QB, more power in the organization and a better chance of winning the division. Yes, I know the 49ers were great this year, but they have to prove they are long term contenders and not just a one year wonder. If Fisher went to Miami, he'd have to deal with Brady and Belichick twice a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
