ESK must have a plan in place along with several contingencies.

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

So, let me get this straight...

Kroenke is a mutlibillionaire with pro sports teams in the US and England and getting a new coach because his team might move would be overwhelming.

Got it.

Is there anyone here you won't berate? Geesh, I was druming it's time to replace Fisher last season, and I've pretty much agreed with your except for a few details. But attacking everyone who doesn't agree with every single statement you make is not an optimal way to keep conversation partners IMHO.

Anyway, business is about focus and priorities. Keeping Fisher another season doesn't change the long term plan. What's clearly most important right now is the move, and everything is a distant 2nd.

I believe the retention would be more about stability for the players Dick.

Bernie wrote an asinine article tonight how Fisher is around to serve Kroenke's purpose and Kroenke is content with crappy football. Laughable. First off, Fisher was the highest paid coach on market when hired in 2012. The Raiders are also 4-5 and the Chargers are 2-7, so are they also happy with losing? Also, how does Fisher help facilitate a move? what mystical powers does he have.

If blowing holes in this type of inane argument is offensive, then I'm offensive.

So you feel like you're blowing holes in the argument that Fisher still has a job, in large part, because the Rams have prioritized the potential move to L.A.?

And one of the holes you've blown is based on Stan Kroenke being a multi-billionaire with teams in the U.S. and England?

But one fact remains: Jeff Fisher is still coaching the Rams.

Why do you think that is?

I'm berating the argument, not you.
The only person I've berated is the one who commented on a comment without adding anything.

I'm not insulting you or anyone else.

You told someone to F-off in another thread, and called another an a-hole. Hey I'm pissed too, really pissed, but just don't beat up the people on this board. I think this is a pretty competent and adult group, and I think everyone's searching for answers right now.

BTW, i think Son_Dee from RRF nails it here:

I missed this tweet...thank you Elvis for sharing: that is perfect.

Fishers last year of his deal is 2016.
Teams don't often leave coaches hanging in the wind. Typically they either sign a bs 1 year extension, or extend the coach long term.
It will say a lot about the relationship between kroenke and fisher how this goes.

I could see fisher turn down the extension and demand a long term deal

It end to agree that with a relocation in the cards finding a serious candidate to replace him would be more difficult than if the Rams weren't moving. The only exception I could see to that is if there is a candidate already in LA or with very very strong ties to LA.

I'm totally comfortable with my response in those two instances.

I'm not telling you that or saying anything even close to it. No reason to.

The reason I'm arguing so forcefully about this point, that Fisher stays because firing him with a possible move pending it would be too challenging to replace him, is because it's nonsense and gives ownership an out on their most important duty to me, as a fan: Win. Put the best team on the field, period.

I agree with you on this bolded point, but what I'm saying is that ESK sees the move as a far more important issue right now, and will deal with that issue first. He won't do anything to impact his highest priority issue.

Now, do I think they could fire Fisher and still move without a problem. Yes, I do. But I doubt ESK sees it that way. So, while it pains me to say this, I think we're going to have to accept that we'll have Fisher for at least one more season
