Most overrated coach in the league...him or Rex anyway
Cannot figure out how that guy keeps a job. Can take a **** team straight to 8-8 and stays there.

Happy Jeff Fisher Day (8/8)! In honor of it, here's Jeff by the numbers.
Fisher is more of an old school coach, focused more on toughness and brutality while the league has gradually eroded that type of style with their new rules put in place for "player safety" (which really means, "Rules to keep the number of lawsuits against us at a minimum").
I don't think Fisher is a bad coach, but he's a bit of a dinosaur in today's pacified version of the NFL, where you have to have at the very least a solid offense to win it all, and Fisher is not strong in offensive coaching.
He's not a bad coach, unless you count winning games as one of the criteria
He has above average hair.
Good mustache game also. Like I said, if you disregard winning games...
but....the real test: will he still throw that halfback-option pass when his team is up by 24 points!!
That's the mark of a true ****head former Bear! GET it DONE, Jeff!!
(i.e., Packer loss vs. Titans on MNF 10/11/04 lost 48-27 douchbag Fisher! I hope he stays with Ram forever!)

Like a lot team owners who are unhappy with their current stadium situation, Stan Kroenke had no interest in building a winning team in St. Louis. Revenue sharing ensured a handsome profit, regardless of what happened on the field. Georgia Frontiere did the same thing with the LA Rams circa 1990-94. She had no desire to risk shelling out the extra money needed to field a winning team until she got a sweetheart deal on a stadium.
It was obvious over the past several seasons in St. Louis that the Rams were just biding their time until they could get back to Los Angeles. Fisher was under no pressure to win for that reason. He'll be expected to win this year, though. There are PSLs, private luxury suites and season tickets that need to be sold.
Not exactly the coach I'd envision developing the overall number 1 pick:
No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff’s NFL game debut was shorter than anticipated.
As expected, Goff replaced Rams starting quarterback Case Keenum after three series Saturday night and threw an interception on his second pass in the second quarter. He took a big hit on the interception and played one more series after that but was removed at halftime due to a sore left (non-throwing) shoulder.
Rams Coach Jeff Fisher said Goff’s shoulder got stiff and the team decided not to let him play in the second half.
An inauspicious start for sure
Dirty coach. His teams always cross the line and play after the whistle.
With Fisher, you get the honorable behavior seen with the Greg Williams, Jim Schwartz, Albert Haynesworth, Courtland Finnegan, etc....his disciples .

There, fixed that for you.
Can't win without a QB- had McNair, was a playoff coach and a Super Bowl participant. Didn't? Not so much...

Jeff Fisher's sleep number. 7.9
I read that as...does he like it inflated under Brady?
I have watched every season of Hard Knocks since it came on HBO. This might be the dullest team yet and the jinx factor is in full effect.
Jeff Fisher seems like a good guy but he doesn't exactly inspire confidence. He's been fooling people for years.
Jeff Fisher is the "Leroy Hoard" of coaches. He'll take a crap team and make them competitive, but he rarely seems to get the most out of a good team. He's not a GM, but he's had a good deal of talent on a few defenses and they've never been awesome, just pretty good.
How about Earnest Byner, & Lindy Infante?
There really isn't anyone to compare Jeff Fisher to. He's a complete anomaly. In a purely suck like way. There is no rational explanation for how or why he should be coaching an NFL team today. None.
The closest comparison to Jeff might be Marty Schottenheimer. They both coached 21 years. But Marty won far more games in the same 21 years as Jeff has been coaching. Marty went to the post season FAR more than Jeff. Marty got his ass handed to him in those playoff games much the same way Jeff has so that needs to be considered.
But my God. Jeff has 6 winning seasons in 21 years of coaching. And he just got an extension. There is no comparison to Jeff Fisher. What he's accomplishing is unprecedented. This level of suck by an individual for this length of time will never been seen again. I say individual because there's still the Vikings.
So your saying this post should really be in the "Vikings Suck" thread?
Trying to make a suck correlation for Jeff. Minny is always a great option.
Jeff Fisher is so dum, he got hit by a cup at practice and told the police he was mugged.

Jeff Fisher climbs the career coaching losses list
Posted by Michael David Smith on September 13, 2016, 6:59 PM EDTAP
When the Rams lost to the 49ers last night, Jeff Fisher took a dubious place in NFL history.
Fisher is now all alone in third place in NFL history for most coaching losses, with 157. Prior to last night he was tied with Don Shula for third place, with 156.
That Fisher is tied with Shula for losses isn’t a good sign, considering that Shula coached 490 games in his Hall of Fame career, while Fisher has coached just 327 games.
Fisher’s career coaching record now sits at 169-157-1. The only coaches in NFL history with more losses are Tom Landry (250-162-6) and Dan Reeves (190-165-2). Fisher has a chance to pass both of them this season; if the Rams lose nine more games and finish 6-10 or worse, Fisher would have the all-time losses record to himself.
If Fisher does set that record this year, it would be hard for Rams owner Stan Kroenke to justify keeping him next year. Setting the all-time losses record could be Fisher’s final accomplishment as an NFL head coach.
