BTW, i think Son_Dee from RRF nails it here:

I could see Cleveland or Miami moving on Fisher, to name two.

But really my point is still that Fisher is essentially our president of football operations. Replacing him will involve Kroenke and Demoff and i simply don't see that happening while relocation is on the table.

So as frustrating as it may be, i'm confident we'll be a Jeff Fisher coached team until relocation is settled.

To me that means:

If we're in L.A. next year, Fisher's our coach for at least the first season in L.A.

If somehow it's resolved that the Rams are staying in St. Louis, Fisher might be fired this off season.

If things remain unresolved, Fisher's still our coach in 2016.

I agree with this assessment

Do you think Sean Payton would coach with Greg Williams as his DC again? Or, he would have to go as well and let Payton pick a new one?

No way he reunites with Williams he'll go with a new DC. And defense has always been his weakness.

I don't know if it will happen or won't happen.
What I'm saying is that it's the wrong choice. In your scenario, it's a choice made out of fear or hesitation and that's always the wrong reason to make a decision like that.
I mean.. you're going to have him be in place until you're in your permanent home?
Seems like a silly argument to me. Football operations need to be football operatiosn and should be run separate from the business side.
If you can't do both, like I said, maybe you shouldn't consider moving.

These are unusual times. I'm not sure the normal rules apply.

I mean really, why did Fisher even get a 4th year after the 3 he''s put up? Three years is plenty and if anything it's trending towards two being the new three.

But with the focus on Inglewood and the Rams clearly out of the ditch that was Linehan/Spagnulo, i can't imagine Kroenke and Demoff are even entertaining the idea of making a change...

[Elvis]

I think i've been pretty clear.

The number one thing keeping Fisher offers is not making a coaching change while trying to win the L.A. bid. It offers having only one thing on the plate, the thing that's most important, the thing that has implications for literally decades to come and impacts billions of dollars in franchise value.

Compared to that, i don't think one or two more years of Jeff Fisher rates very high when Kroenke and Demoff are planning the future of the Rams.

You may think it's wrong headed, stupid, maybe even incompetent but i'm pretty confident that's exactly what's going on: Prioritization. One of these things dwarfs the other. ...

I agree. Fisher is not on mgmt's agenda right now

If it's looked at in terms of when ESK actually wanted to move, Fisher should be stinking it up in LA this year and fired at the end of the year.

Well, if they move and stink it up next year, there will be a new coach in 2017. Which might be the right time to make a change. The new guy inherits a good defense and can concentrate on offense. Give him 2017 to get the guys to buy into his system and by 2018 they're a playoff team. Which would be the first season in the new stadium.

[RedAlice]

I wonder what Kroenke thought at the game today. Did he feel upset? Did he care?

We talk about his ego, his business sense, etc....but, c'mon - his team sucks and it shouldn't.

[The Ripper]

It needs to be a clean break. No need to have coaching issues right after the team moves.
