Fisher was a buffoon, literally worst coach in football last year with a totally inept staff.

Hand picked. Fisher took a long time to consider coaching hires. He put a lot of thought into them. He decided to take a more personal role in the offense and promote from within when he hired Frank Cignetti and then Rob Boras. He stuck to his guns about what an NFL offense should be after abandoning a more spread out approach under Shottenheimer.

It's a decision that cost him his job, and to some extent, his legacy...

His legacy is being tied for the most losses in NFL history. Hard to overlook that one..

He sure seemed better than Hasslinespags at the time.

His legacy was also tied to his bufoonery after receiving a treasure trove of draft picks in the Rg3 deal. His legacy will be tied to his stellar offensive picks, how about Turnstile Greg "Bust" Robinson or stone hands Brian Quick who he gave 5 years on the roster to? Reaching for Tavon Austin or drafting Isiah Pead doesn't cut it?

Cupp and Everett look more promising in 2 preseason games than 90% of the guys Fisher picked through the years. Though I'm sure Boras and crew would make them look bad if around.

Honestly, I think it accurately depicts his legacy. I think his coaching record/reputation was based off of a 5 year run, and his only true success came after a fluke miracle play that truly shouldn't have counted.
He seems to be a really cool guy and all but his results for the most part have been lousy
