Rams have fired Jeff Fisher

[ozarkram]

Its okay, I did the same thing lol

Watch out for splinters those 2x4's...and obviously the respect can be returned in kind if they at least use vasoline while they're shoving their point up your ass.

I don't know. I guess I am getting cranky in my old age. Anyone one can take a simple opinion or statement and eviscerate the poster there is no trick to it. A death by a thousand cuts all the while patting the other on the back. There,there. Sadly offense was taken simply because the statement was not directed to an individual. When the statement clearly implies there would be no point, further conversation being useless. To me this shows a want of confrontation. And while I am sure no rules were broken. It seems to me it violates the spirit of this place.

Now that I would like to see Fisher treated with just a modicum of respect for his time and effort here, this get your feathers ruffled? How about, instead, you show some of the same patience and understanding you were afforded these past several months.

A long, long time ago... in a galaxy far, far away... a Rams fan respected Steve Spagnuolo.

This fan believed that the man, while failing, gave it his best shot. This fan tried to acknowledge that a HC in the NFL is a VERY, VERY hard job that requires extraordinary amounts of time, energy and sacrifices. These men basically live in the facilities, away from their families for long periods of time.

The work/life balance is thrown completely out the window.

Yeah, they do it willingly... yeah, they are well compensated.

But it still requires an amazing amount of hard work.

Failing doesn't eliminate any of that... the hard work was there and respect is fair - even in failure.

Well, in that galaxy, the majority of fans were so upset that none of the above was to be considered in the least.

Nope, not only did the man need to be fired... he needed to be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail.

I did not like Fisher, still don't. I do not agree that he is an honorable man. He lied to me far too many times.

But I respect the hard work and dedication he put into his job. I respect the sacrifices he had to make to be a HC. Again, no amount of money changes those sacrifices.

That galaxy has all but disappeared now... I suspect mainly because of the hate that swelled up inside it.

I hope this forum never approaches that. I have a feeling it won't.

Thanks for the hard work, Jeff Fisher. That's the best I can say - you earned that much.

Is it time to call Dr. Phil?

Age doesn't entitle you to respect or deference. It doesn't give you special insight. It simply is age.

Wow... just wow.

I don't care who you are or how old you are. My respect for you will be determined by how you treat others and the substance of what you say.

I'll get you a mirror.

Since I spent half of this season as RODs own Pro-Fisher apologist/Fishers Mom/Fisher himself, I feel like I should chime I'm.

SOME ROD members CAN BE EDIT. (JERKS)
To not agree and fall in line was unforgivable.
I saw a link between the discourse of disagreement here that seemed remarkably similar to the one going on in the presidential campaigns.

Sadly, I lost respect for many posters who chose to take out their frustration on those who they felt represented the Coach they blamed for their anger.
oddly enough, I never said that I thought Fisher should keep his job, only that the constant whiny bitching and personal attacks were annoying. That JF should be criticized for his record but people shouldn't blame him for everything that went wrong.

I'm glad that the Rams are focused on getting better. I'm happy that there is a chance that our next HC improves our team. I'm concerned that the next guy will be worse than Fisher. And finally, I'm sad that so many people can't be happy without having someone to be mad at.

Life is short. Football is a game.
Remember that some people here just want an escape. Maybe they are going through some real life shit. Maybe they just want to enjoy talking about their team. Maybe a 4 - 12 team isn't the worst thing in their lives.
Don't be a dick. Don't shove your opinion down my throat and then tell me I'm stupid for not agreeing. Everyone doesn't have to be angry.
Being ANGRY about something does NOT equal CARING MORE.
Don't be a dick.

Good Luck JF.
Good Luck RAMS.

Are we done with all this yet?

Young, old, middle aged.... I don't really give a shit. Let's keep it about the subject at hand.

I have made my view clear that I feel it is bad form to kick Fisher on the way out. Be rejoiceful of a new direction or a bright future with another coach. Be concerned that maybe the next coach will not be an upgrade. All that is fine.

I may not like it when people go after Fisher on a personal level but it is the back and forth bitching at each other or at a moderator trying to make peace that I will come down hardest on.

Have some fun here. Look forward. Talk about the team and who we might bring in. But for Pete's sake, knock off the attacks on each other - passive or otherwise.

Everybody now

Everybody now

You started out so well here. But Fisher didn't run run run and run. We actually pass a lot more then we run.

He "passed" more than ran because the offense was so incompetent that he couldn't run, and the so called passing game he had was largely nothing more than an "extension" of the running game."

 

[BriansRams]

I'm concerned that the next guy will be worse than Fisher.

Impossible Sir. Simply Impossible.

I'm sad that so many people can't be happy without having someone to be mad at.

I agree with you. A dumb way to live life.

Life is short. Football is a game.

Again, I agree.

 

[Corbin]

I fully disagree.:redcard: He's more of a stand up type of guy who will knock your block off.

Plus he's got a huge bald head.:fuelfire:

 

[dieterbrock]

And finally, I'm sad that so many people can't be happy without having someone to be mad at.

Do the 49ers, Cardinals and Seahawks count?
Because I am real happy about being real mad at them!!!

 

[bluecoconuts]

How dare you.

Lot of debate about whether it's acceptable to celebrate Fisher's firing. I lean more towards @jrry32 about fans having the right to cheer for it if you get compensated well but I do respect other's opinions about disagreeing and toning down on the attacks. I'll admit, I've resorted to personal attacks against Fisher in the past but in retrospect, I tend to look at the positives he contributed (i.e. taking us away from being perennially bad)

Guess the bottom-line is, it's hard to be sympathetic towards people who get paid well after getting fired. The scandals going on with the Wells Fargo administration staff parallel to that.

I don't hate Fisher, in fact I was pro-Fisher until the Dolphins game. I haven't seen a game since that point, not because I was boycotting or anything, but just because it wasn't fun but because I grew tired of watching such a frustrating offense. I had pretty much lost hope on our ability to win meaningful games.

A new coach gives me a new hope! (More star wars references boo-yah!) We will see player turnover and hopefully a new product next season. I would keep Snead personally, I like him and he puts us in great position come draft day to make some good picks. We also have some great talent in Donald, Gurley, Goff, Ogletree, Joyner, Barron, Brockers, etc. Whether or not he was the one who "picked" them is not the point, he ran the scouting department, so any scout info used is thanks to him. JMO

But I'm also excited to see a completely new offense. Anything even close to last years 3 and out attack will make me want to barf.

 

[Prime Time]

Something to consider. We know for a fact that Kevin Demoff and players both past and present read this forum. If you doubt that, read the interviews in our Chats section. This is why we want to separate ourselves from every other "bash and insult" Rams forums and be above that by showing courtesy and respect and fairness to coaches, players, and yes, ownership. They most certainly can and should be criticized for their failures but how we post that criticism is what matters.

Personally I'm glad the team is moving on to a new coaching staff because it was time for a change, but I'm grateful to Fisher/Snead and rest of the staff for moving us out of the basement of the NFL(except for this season of course), and stocking the roster with some good players. "The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades."
