Can we quit

[kurtfaulk]

I'm glad that Fish was Fish. He did stock the team with talent (mostly on D) and failed at the absolute best time... we got McVay


I see this McVay thing lasting for a long, long time.

i agree. whatever should or shouldn't have happened with fisher the rams are blessed with how it happened because they ended up with one of the next great coaches in the nfl. this guy is not failing and doesn't seem like the kind of coach players will get tired of after a few years.

With each succeeding victory... with each outstanding offensive performance, my resentment toward Jeff Fisher grows.

The man wasted at least two... maybe three years of my fandom... yeah, others did as well... but, my God, look what could have been if he only had some offensive acumen.

I said it for a few years... if the Rams could just get to middle of the pack, they'd be real contenders. Fisher couldn't get them out of the cellar in offensive output. If there were no free agent acquisitions... and a decent draft this year.. BUT if he had hired a real OC and real Oline coach, guarantee the Rams would have been in the playoffs the past 2 years.

Shame on him. Shame on his control freak personality flaw.

I was watching some sports talk show and they praised Fisher & the Rams for building a hell of a team for McVay, who is finally getting the true talent out of the players.

Yes, he built a foundation - especially the defense.

But there was enough "true talent" on this team the past two, maybe three, years that they should have gotten into the playoffs.

Fisher severely underachieved. Period.

i can't agree with this more. i agree to the power of infinity.

So with you on this.
You have to try and be as bad as he was. Maybe that's what really happened

With all these feedback a on Fisher, I do believe that a huge thank you is in order to him for having stayed Rams coach into last year.
If he is gone any earlier, there is no way at all that McVay is Rams head coach today.
McVay would never been hired as HC a year earlier.

Ecstatic that McVay is here so thanks Fisher for being replaced at the right time

 

[Ram65]

I stand by my statement that faking a punt from your own 30 in a tight game was damn Fisherish.
So, I shant good sir, I shant.

That was an appropriate reference.

Generally speaking I'm tired of Fisher rants and most comments at this point. I don't even want to think of him. It was what it was and now it's over. I actually said "the previous coach" in a recent thread and avoided his name. Things are so much better now with the entire Rams organization.

Pretty sure it's coincidental that McVay was hired at such an impeccable time. Looking at this team historically, we're either very good consistently or very bad extensively. Hopefully we'll stay on the cream of the crop extensively under McBae.

What motivation would he have had to deliberately tank the team?

I would find it outrageously unfeasible that the Rams had the whole tiing planned out (hold onto Fisher one more year, thinking McVay would become available. Way too far-fetched.

I think his staying was Kroneke saying "thanks for the move".

Can't (prefer not to) believe Kroenke wasn't aware that the team was under-achieving.

We still make fun of Linehan, Spagnola, Brooks etc etc I don't think one year is going to end the Fisher bashing. I'm all for it just don't think I ends for 10+ years.

Trying to defend a prior losing coach is not a lot of fun.

All of them tried... made sacrifices...put in the long hours... spent tons of time away from their families... but, in the end, they were all losers.

And no one likes losers... no matter how hard they try.

Pay back for the Rams beating him in the Super Bowl of course! Kind of a Count of Monte Cristo revenge move!! Haha

Given it's the Rams, makes perfect sense!!

To each his own, I just walked away from all the angst over the past...If getting it off your chest is right for you then by all means it's the right thing...Just from my perspective, I'm tired of it and usually blow through it and don't read through it..This is my only and last comment about any of the past failures of this team or it's psst regime's...Ah, I feel better now...

You misunderstand me.
No conspiracy theory at all.
Just about timing.
Kroenke wanted Fisher to succeed and wanted to help with the move. Last year though it became clear that they had to move on from Fisher.
There was no way that McVay gets a HC job in 2016. Only one year as OC and still in his twenties. Just would not have happened.
If the Rams were hiring in 2016, I just can not see anyone better than McVay.

Hard to argue with you....

 

[Ramlock]

I don’t see anyone defending CJF...they’re just tired of the crybabies whining about him in post after post

 

[LARAMSinFeb.]

Jeff Fisher likely feels bad enough when he sees how suddenly successful we are this year. He doesn't need me piling on. I'm grateful for what we have now and I leave it at that.

 

[LuvMeThemRams]

Fisher who?

 

[Prime Time]

I love how McVay never "goes there" and always stays positive.

He'd make a good mod. :cheers:
