I'm okay with this because they are going to add a Passing Game Coordinator too, Fisher knows he has to win now and besides after this week I'm a little emotionally burned out.

Actually, that's where this site got their info too, so Rappaport should get the credit.

I don't like that they are once again taking such an unmotivated approach to the OC position. They're essentially acting as if they don't even need to make improvements on offense.

The only consolation is that it should be enough to get Fisher fired. If they name Boras the OC and then give Fisher an extension, I may be inconsolable.

That is the rub.
Fisher doesnt keep his job if they play crappy in 2016
Kroenke didnt go thru all this to end up with a lousy end product
And Fisher will get an extension, no way he coaches a lame duck season. Wont prevent his firing though

That's the most aggravating part. I'd be fine with Fisher if he would just hire a legit OC. Why does he go to such lengths to put a good defensive staff, good special teams staff, good defense and good special teams on the field and then just get cheap with the offense? It's not like there isn't enough money. He chooses to skimp with the offensive coaches.

A Norv Turner type who would just come in and put a viable offense on the field is all it would take to make this team a playoff team and Fisher refuses.

Because he wants to win with a top notch defense and special teams. He wants an offense that won't turn the ball over and lose the game for you. Sad as it is, it's the truth.

He can't be that stubborn or obtuse. An offense that doesn't turn the ball over and scores enough points to not only relieve pressure on the defense but win games, takes a real OC. There's just no two ways about it.

Fisher has gotten to the point where he's hiring guys with NO experience. Not just unsuccessful OC's but guys who have no business with the job. Promoting from within being the argument there but Schottenheimer was the "cream" of that crop and everything else has trickled down from there. There isn't a coaching provenience there to cultivate IMO. It's not like these guys are learning anything from Fisher.

I agree with everything you say except for "he can't be that stubborn or obtuse". He has been that stubborn and obtuse before and shows no sign of changing.
