Will Jeff Fisher be the new Dolphins Head Coach?

I think yes.

 

My sources say yes.

 

No I don't think it will happen at all. Not sure I want it to either.

 

I sure hope so.

 

I mean how can you feel any good being a Dolphin's fan if 2 years in a row the team was snubbed by it's number one coach prospect.

 

Yeah, Ireland will probably hire that NASCAR meathead alpha redneck. Fits the tough guy mentality and uninspired thought process we've grown accustomed to...However, if they go with Philbo Baggins I'll have to say Touche'.

 

The fact there hasn't been any speculation thru the evening is a pretty good sign for us.

 

Hmmm...If I had to guess...I'd say no. I think nobody is too thrilled with the prospect of working with Ireland.

My personal fan perspective is that right now the idea doesn't thrill me but if he's hired I'll be able to get into it.

 

I'm more for getting Ireland out of town then bringing someone in. Seriously, his decision making has been mediocre at best.

 

You do not have a good frame of reference if you think what he has done is mediocre at best.

 

Just guessing but I don't think we get him. St. Louis is capable of paying big, and has a team he can mold and he would prolly get to sign off on the GM hired there. I think we end up with a offensive guy who is willing to keep Nolan. Chud, Pete Carmicheal jr. etc. somebody like that.

 

Whatever ends up happening I hope it happens asap.

 

I'm gonna post this again, until someone gives me a tangible reason to want Fisher.

There isn't a damn thing in record, that is worth a crap.

16 seasons. 6 winning seasons. That sucks. Wanny had a better record. And if he goes 4 seasons not winning here, you'll all want his head.

 

Probably.

 

What is St Louis owned by Goldman Sachs? Dude, Ross is loaded...

 

From 1991 until 1995, Belichick was the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. During his tenure in Cleveland he compiled a 36–44 record, leading the team to the playoffs in 1994. In Belichick's last season in Cleveland the Browns finished 5–11.

Why would anyone take a chance on this loser???

 

Sure ok. Hell, why stop there, let's rehire Cam then? Come on, your logic is rock solid. How about Rich Kotite?

 

Its obvious you just dont like Fisher. Not trying to change your mind but we all are probably going to have to root for him real soon. Fisher isnt my first choice but he`s better then some names thrown out there.

 

I don't care about Fisher. I just don't see a single thing that makes him the Top candidate. It makes no sense why people are clamoring for him. In fact, my not wanting him is more based on facts and evidence then people who want him. He's a name people have heard of, nothing more.

 

I think Fisher will find the Rams a better fit...

Fisher may think Bradford can be a "franchise" QB and likes him over Moore.

Rams have the #2 pick in draft whereas Miami has #8/9...he may be in love with Blackmon or someone else he would be sure to get or could trade pick for multiple high picks...if a coach is going to rebuild high draft picks are a premium.

But most important with the Rams Fisher would probably be given final say in personnel moves and could hire a GM to work for him. In Miami Ireland would have final say...coaches LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to be able to control the roster.

I say the Rams are a much more attractive fit for a proven coach.

 

Why wouldn't you bunch of anti-Fisher crybaby knowitalls want this guy?

If that doesn't impress you, then I'm afraid not much will.

 

Yeah. If we don't get Fisher it won't be because Ross couldn't - or wouldn't- pay him.

 

I think it has to do with the situations he was put into while head coach at Houston/Tennessee and dealing with a meddling owner in Bud Adams.

EDIT: MC beat me to the article post.

 

I see. Random BS stats mean everything. But a simple 10 out of 16 seasons were at or below .500., means I'm just a crybaby?

You sir, are the one with problems.

 

Nice post.
I rag on Ross alot, but compared to Bud Adams, Stephen Ross is a stud of an owner.

 

Also from that article:

 

Dude, did you even read the post?

 

Ok, ok, when gauging a coach, win-loss means nothing but Dan Dierdorf and stats like "Fisher's teams played "home games" in four stadiums, in three cities, in two states.", mean everything.

I get it, you guys think he's gonna be our coach, and are trying to find ways to like him. There is simply no other reason.

 

What makes them random and BS? Just because they take the air out of your anti-Fisher nonsense?
I cannot think of anymore pertinent a stat than his career W-L pct stacked against all the rest of the teams over the same time period. But, since you have some bias against him, that is just random and BS. Ok, I got it now.

 

Because a film crew compensates nicely?

 

Initially I said "Why the F would he come here over STL with Bradford and #2 pick and choice of GM?" Then I saw they flew to meet with him in Denver???

Why would the St Louis Rams meet with him in Colorado without showing him the facilities where he would be working? That doesn't seem to bode well for them.

 

I've lived in Nashville since the Oilers moved here. I am very familiar with them... I'll wager that I'm a helluva lot more familiar with them than anyone else on this message board, including you. The reason I want Jeff Fisher here... way more than any other head coach... is a lot more than just some knee-jerk reaction after scanning a couple of lists of stats and seeing his name in an article. I have 17 years of experience watching his team, watching him in interviews, and watching how Jeff Fisher operates. My respect for him as a coach didn't just pop up a couple of weeks ago. It has been years in the making... and let me tell you, I don't become enamored with just any head coach.

I am also no idiot when it comes to football.

Jeff Fisher is one of the top 3 coaches in the NFL, IMO. I am not alone in that assessment. Numerous NFL people have said exactly as much. If you don't agree, then you simply have not looked close enough.

With all due respect, you are dead wrong about Jeff Fisher, my brother. I hope someday you get the chance to realize just how wrong you were. We'd be damn lucky to have Fisher as our next head coach.

 

w-l, yes.... "stacked against other coaches" is lame and bs and means nothing.

16 seasons, only 6 winning seasons 10 non winning seasons. If Fisher is awesome, so is Sparano, because many excuses can be made for him. Lost his starting QB. Turned over half the roster. Meddlesome boss in Parcells. Owner change. Turned a 1-15 team into 11-5 team. Won the AFC East overt the Patriots. Ushered in the era of Wildcat. Blah, blah, blah. If Fisher comes here and posts the same record he did the first 1-4 seasons as a full time HC, you all will want to crucify him.

 

What is it that makes you say this though? Game management? Player motivation? Game planning? Player selection? I'm not disagreeing...I'm just not seeing it. But to be fair, I really didnt know dick about Ten in their on or off years. What is it that makes you like him so much, exactly? What separates him from the pack?

 

no - THANK GOD

 

Don't see what people see. This guy has to be the most over rated head coach in history. His record is pathetic. Please , please go somewhere else.
