But first, fire Dumoff.

Agreed 100%, however he helped Kroenke increase his wealth by massive amounts. The Value of the Rams must have at least doubled, if not more.

... Stan needs to sell the team and take a cruise.

Stanley owns the $300 million Oceanco yacht Jubilee, he gets to have his cake and eat it too ... Fisher was just a farm hand who did the heavy lifting.

My guess is that Fish now gets consulting fees from Kroenke for non-football/figure-head matters.

Fisher had every opportunity to keep his job even if the primary reason he was hired was because of his experience during the Oilers/Titans move from Houston. Which seems unlikely. I mean, what did Fisher provide that Coach X couldn't have done under the same circumstances? No, Fisher was the biggest named coach available when he was hired and ESK went out and got him.

Subsequently, coincidentally, the Rams wound up moving and Fisher happened to have previous a previous experience which was similar. But his job was to win games and improve the culture of the Rams. To some extent, he did the former and more, he did the latter. There's no denying that he improved the Rams. Granted, the bar was set pretty low but ultimately, a variety of previous coaches couldn't even eclipse that so Fisher still gets his due for making the Rams better, competitive and borderline winners and playoff contenders.

I'm no Fisher fan but the implication is that he was brought in to strategically tank the team so it could move but I don't agree with that at all. He wasn't throwing games, he was just limited by an archaic approach to the current NFL.

Fisher took the team from laughing stock to respectable in his first season. Problem is he never took them further and there were some real systemic/philosphical coaching reasons holding him back.

McVay immediately took us to the next level.

I don't want anyone fired. Seems to me the Rams are doing it right...

I agree completely. Jeff Fisher has become a laughingstock himself, and I'm not comfortable with that. I never wanted him hired in the first place, and I wanted him gone. But he's a good guy. And there were Rams' players who would have run through walls for him. I don't think you could say the same thing about Spagnuolo or Linehan.

Happy Jeff Fisher Day to those that still celebrate.

I liked Fish as a player on the Bears. I respected what he did in TN and how he almost brought the Titans back in the SB. Panic set in when they tied it up. I was not thrilled with his being hired in St. Lou. I recall wanting another HC. I hated his tenure on the Rams. Every minute and was at the Atlanta game leading the call to be fired which I believe happened the next day. I can’t explain how bad that period was but it was a joint effort to tank the Rams and people who can’t wrap their head around that don’t understand what a disgusting business this can be. I was glad they came home to LA and it wasn’t going to happen any other way.

The Rams won 15 games total in the 5 seasons before they hired Fisher. Fisher was bad but he was certainly better than what came before. Making your team respectable after it had been a shit show is a weird way to tank.

3 teams wanted to move: Rams, Chargers, Raiders. The NFL let all 3 of them move. I don't think you need a big conspiracy theory to see the NFL lets the owners pretty much do what they want...
