He already said it was on the players. Presumably for not executing, but I think he got fed up with the clowning on the sidelines during the game and in the locker room after a loss. I know it was wearing on me, but who knows. It's just a guess.I wonder
Since Gurley clearly loves Fisher
Who was the Middle School offense comment meant for - Boras?
That comment sure as heck didnt help Coach Fisher's job status

Nice to see the gesture by the players. But it wasn't their fault man. Fish got what he had comin, and I still respect the guy.
He passed on Hue Jackson to hire Schotty. That was a major blunder.He gave Boras the OC job. The year before he gave it to Cignetti. And he gave it to Schotty before that. That's three fireable offenses (pardon the pun) right there. And for as good of an eye he had for defensive coaching talent, he had virtually no talent for recognizing offensive coaching talent.

We're talking about the same Hugh Jackson of the winless Browns, right? The guy who, in frustration, took off his headset, gave the playcalling to Pep Hamilton, and stopped communicating with the offense - and the QB - against the Bengals this year?He passed on Hue Jackson to hire Schotty.

We may have lost tonight, but the team played like they were seriuosly pissed off.I obviously didn't intend for this to become another platform to rail on Fisher. I just thought it was a nice gesture by Gurley and Austin. Like Al Michaels said, a lot of times when a coach is fired, there's some celebration by the players. But not this locker room. A lot of them really were bummed out about it, and a lot of them took responsibility for it. That's pretty cool. I don't absolve Fisher of all blame, either. I just thought it was a nice testament to his interpersonal skills and his ability to get them to play hard until the very end. So all that bullcrap about him losing the team was just that. It's simply a results business.

I'm sure they feel the guilt of Fisher's firing.

The same guy who was a quality OC for the Bengals the previous year's. Don't think any coach is winning with the Browns and losing brings frustration.We're talking about the same Hugh Jackson of the winless Browns, right?
