Be careful what you wish for in maintaining the current head coach:
7-8-1, 7-9, 6-10, 7-9, currently 3-5.
Offense near the bottom of the league and not improving.

This isn't surprising. The reason these guys are new this year, is because their teams were bad last year as well.
This is actually a good year to hire a new coach.
How many head coaches are going to be fired at the end of this year? My guess is possibly 3.
Rams
Jaguars
Chargers
Not a whole lot of competition for hot coaching candidates this year. I think it's a great year to make the switch.

We need an offensive minded head coach to raise up our supposed franchise QB.
I just hope we can keep Greg Williams to run the defense, he does a pretty good job there.

My thoughts as well. I'd love to keep almost all of the defensive staff intact, starting with Williams. It ain't broke, so let's not fix it.
Offense on the other hand ... Groh is the only possible keeper, I like what he's done this year.

I think Rams fans of today know as much or better what coaching changes can bring.
What kills me is I actually like Jeff Fisher for the most part. I think he can be a hell of a coach if he simply made better offensive coaching hires. If he hired someone really good and just got the hell out of their way I think he could be a Super Bowl coach again. I think that's why he frustrates me so much. I think he can be a great head coach if he simply got out of his own way. It's like we hired the bizzaro Mike Martz which is ironic.

I don't mean this as an attack, but I can not understand how anyone can still support Fisher.
I would love for someone to give me a solid reason as to why Fisher should remain coach of this team. I mean, if anyone bites on that bait I just set out, it's just going to be a shit fest of arguing, but why not.

Exactly. If he hired an offensive equivalent of someone like Gregg Williams, this team would be contending right now. Williams has done a great job of adjusting his scheme to the players he has, not to mention figuring out how to put guys into positions to play to their strengths, rather than trying to force players into his scheme irrespective of where their true talents lie. Mark Barron is a great example ... a bust for Tampa Bay, he comes to the Rams, Williams changes his scheme to find a spot for Barron that plays to his strengths, and now he's one of our best defenders.
Meanwhile, on offense, we're trying to make GRob into a cut blocker ... sigh.

IF Fisher goes I too hope we can keep Williams as our DC and I would Like to keep Snead as our GM too, he has a good eye for talent, and know how to get it!

I'm ready to fire him immediately and have been for some time - but to play devils advocate with you.
1. A new coach probably means new systems - new offenses, maybe even a new D - and we don't seem to have a roster full of quick learners out there.
2. This roster was supposedly built with his system in mind. It's hard to put your mind around that - but apparently it is the case.
3. The players seem to like him - I'd hate to lose talent because we have guys who want to play for a players coach.
4. Maybe it's not all his fault. We haven't had good fortune with injuries - especially at QB - and we did move for whatever excuses that is worth - plus they went total youth - this team is supposed to be just now coming into their own.
As I type this - none of it is persuading. It's beyond time to move on.

Who ever the new coach is he's going to swap most if not all the pos. coaches and coordinators. churn 40% of the roster 1st year be 70% turnover by end of the 2nd year.
He's going to win or lose with his players.

Best case scenario in my mind would be to have Stan hold a "Come to Jesus" meeting like the one El Grindo (John Shaw) had with Dick Vermiel after the 98 season and player revolt. Force him to hire a PROVEN Offensive coordinator and then get the hell out of the way...leave the D staff alone. Lets not throw out the baby with the bath water here...
