This must be at least the 3rd year running I've heard that. "If he doesn't make the playoffs..., he's gone.' Ain't happened yet. X hit the nail on the head.....as long as there is anything approaching 'extenuating circumstances', don't pay any visits to Vegas and put money on Fish being gone.
Third year running? Well, I don't know who you are referring to, but I certainly wasn't ready to move on in 2014. Maybe after 2015.
I think there's a good chance he would've been canned after last season if not for the move. And he would almost certainly be canned after 2016 with another 7-win year. No doubt.
If Fisher has another 7-win season, he deserves to be fired and I think he will be, but that's my opinion. If not, the only reason for it is the move and the new QB.
Maybe X did hit the nail on the head, but I sure hope not. I don't want the Rams to get caught in the same cycle as the Titans....Keeping Fish around for a decade because .500 ball is "good enough." I think the Rams have been a playoff-caliber team for 2-3 seasons now. They keep falling short because of horrible inconsistency, no discipline and pitiful offense...which are all Fisher trademarks.
Him and Stan are buddies. Fine. But Kroenke knows the nature of this business. You don't keep a coach around for a 6th year when he's 0-5 on winning seasons and has yet to hit .500.
