I'm curious, because I'm really not sold on him, even though it looks apparent it's his job if he wants it.
Is the general consensus that Fisher is a good hire?

He would be a fantastic hire. As a St. Louis Rams fan it's up there with trading for Faulk and winning the Super Bowl.

I'm hesitant to say how much I want Fish to be our next HC because I don't want to jinx the process ....

He's by far the best candidate for the job as far as I'm concerned ,,,, FAR better than the TV posers even (including that bulldog jawed Cowher).

Yes in deed, VERY well stated. In fact, I think most are under estimating this HC search and I'd only put Fisher's chances currently (at best) somewhere around 50-50. In fact, if the decision goes beyond this weekend, I'd put his chances lower than that. :hehe:

Oh the irony. RQ warning Squeak not to be too optimistic.
Personally, I think the base is decent and am expecting whoever Stan anoints to take us to the playoffs and beyond. Of course that is just how I'm wired when it comes to my Rams. Of course if Norv is brought in, that optimism might wain just a bit.

I don't think that we would be a bad team, and I like that. But I don't know if hiring him equals Super Bowl championships. I'm not sold. I do agree with a lot of people that he will bring toughness to the team that we desperately need. And I would think he would have a better choice of assistant coaches. But I don't want a run first/tough defense team. That doesn't win in today's NFL.

It's probably going to happen. Strong defenses are key, and you need those. Have a respectable D and a high powered offense that can hang 30-40+ points easily an that's all you need. Hell, you don't even need a respectable D anymore.. Look at Green Bay, New England, and New Orleans... Those guys don't have strong defenses, but they're able to score at a rate that no hole is too large, and most offenses can't keep up.
If you have a top 5 offense, you can get by with a 20 ranked defense. If you have a top 15 and you're probably in real good shape.
Don't get me wrong I want a good defense, but looking at the teams that are winning, you see the patterns. Top level QB, good receivers, and an offense that scores and moves fast. I think the 49ers bounce their first game, unless it's against the Giants. Even if they beat the Lions earlier in the year, I bet they struggle to score and Alex Smith fails to keep up.

I would prefer an offensive minded coach, but obviously only if he fits all the Rams criteria. I think that Fisher is a good coach. I don't know if I want him to have all personnel decisions. We need a strong personnel guy that has a solid unwavering direction, and he must have cohesion with the new head coach.

i expect fisher will lead the rams to alot of 7 to 9 win seasons. not great but better than 1 to 3 win seasons.
there's a coach out there that can transform the rams into a superbowl contender. only problem is i don't know who he is.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel. I'd like to see who he brings in as OC and GM as well. Still, I won't go all in on him until I see how the team preforms under him.

I'm ready to go all in on WHOEVER the next coach is. I would of course have preferences but I will blindly and loyally get behind whoever Stan and/or the new GM chooses. I just can't not go all in on my Rams. Doesn't mean I'm going to put a bullet in my head should they not make the playoffs but all in I will be.
Haha. Yeah, I get what you're saying. I just have to see proof of success to believe anything after what we've gone though.
Doesn't mean I won't be horse every Mon morning after home games next season cheering my ass off.
One things for certain. The next HC will have a hell of a lot more talent to work with than Spags started with. Should be fun to see what happens.

I'm not suggesting that I'm set up to root AGAINST Fisher if he becomes the next head coach. Far from it. I'm just kind of worried about a wholesale destruction of what's already in place. RECORD ASIDE. I'm primarily talking about the foundation of character we have here, and the "family" that has been established on the team. I do expect "some" changes, but I'd hate to see it infused with an overabundance of douche nozzles. Like Haynesworth, Pac Man, Holmes... players like that. I'll back the next guy 100% unless he's a notorious douche himself, at which point it would be an uphill battle. Picture yourself rooting for a Linehan return to head coaching here. I just feel like thinking these things out instead of being all, "OMG!! Fisher! He's got experience! (swooooon)"RamFan503 said:
