As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
I think he is but he does need to find a way to eliminate the slow starts.He's completely turned the roster over and we have a boatload of talent because of it.Once that switch is turned on imho were going to be a fixture in the playoffs for years.
When have the Rams under Fisher played poorly in preseason and then immediately got hot once the real games started? This is exactly what people are worried about. They always seem to start slowly and that's a death sentence in the NFL and especially in our division. We can't afford to wait for that week 5 or 6 epiphany.
Fisher took the job with a bunch of 2nd and 3rd string talent on the roster! He now has talent on the ream! Until this year he's got as pass, the team needs to be better than 500 this year or coach Fisher needs to go! IMO!
I think Fisher is certainly capable of winning. His players will run through a wall for him, and the Seahawks are living proof that we are not in a league that only values passing. What I'm not sure of is if he's capable of enforcing discipline. The same coaching traits that lead to his players being dedicated to him also lead to them being unhinged nutbars.
I feel like one of these ex-HCs on his staff should be The Enforcer - the one guy who is dedicated to just beating the shit out of players until they become more disciplined.

The nugget of this article that somehow seems to get glossed over...
Karraker points out... "Fisher admittedly took over a CATASTROPHE."
The work that it's taken to get our team back to just respectable has been a mountain's worth. Basically the equivalent of an expansion team just starting out.
I don't gloss over that important reality. I give Fish and his Front Office and Coaching Staff a large amount of respect for what they've been able to do with our Rams.

I respect what they have done.
But it's time to expect more, IMO... as in a winning season and a playoff berth.
He was 7-9 with the team he took over. His record has gotten worse each year with his guys.
And we've had mediocrity each year in the regular season. (which is a helluva lot better than the garbage we had before, no doubt).
I'm a Fisher fan...but I have my questions that are starting to turn to doubts...
That certainly is a realistic expectation at this point. But it really wouldn't have been a realistic expectation in the 1st two years IMO... the 3rd year''s realistic expectation went out the window in preseason when our starting QB went down for the year.
As long as they start ' Faster' than usual I'll be a Happy Camper!!

wouldn't this be so cool !Actually, I'd be more than happy if they could just execute. You know, stop the other team when on defense, and get first downs on offense. That's be cool
and it should be quite possible...
you and me think so for sure!

There are just so many things that were screwed up with this organization when Fisher got here you cannot compare it to any of those other places. Nor can you compare a team using what the Rams have had at QB the last year and 9 games. Has there been a team that made the playoffs with that kind of handicap?
How do these guys get paid to right this garbage?

He's responsible for picking the backup QBs too.
There's always a ton of reasons why seasons go one way or another...lots of good ones too. But at some point there has to be some good to go with the bad to justify why a coach is doing all the right things.
