Discussed the futures of #Rams coach Jeff Fisher and GM Les Snead on @AroundTheNFL: All indications are both are safe for the 2016 season.

Interesting.

Well, either Kroenke wants Fisher to usher in the Rams to LA

or

If he is stuck in StL, then he's happy to have a losing team that StL won't support.

I know that's a popular opinion with those who have a low opinion of Kroenke as a team owner, but nothing I've seen from him indicates he's ok with not going for W's. He's shown more faith in Snisher than I certainly would have, but as an owner, he's been much stronger than the past regime.

-He's spending top dollar on our head coach.
-He allows the front office to spend significantly on free agents (though they've mostly been disappointments).
-He doesn't meddle with front office decisions. He hired people and lets them do their thing.

Having said that, we'd better be moving in the right direction quickly come next season or it'll be ridiculous to keep sticking with Fisher.

Are you borrowing from the Bernie M playbook?

He needs a real offensive coordinator and some offensive talent.

I agree that Kroenke has spent money, and I agree that Fisher needs an OC that has full power over his HC.

I see no evidence that Kroenke spending money has created a winning team, and I see no evidence so far that Fisher is willing to hand over control of his offense to someone else.

Agreed AZ. It looks like Stan is going stand by his contract. Fish hasn't lived up to what we fans had hoped. I'd have to guess that would be the same with the owner but if he does get that last season, he best make the best of it. Fish was a SoCal guy.
Still,, I doubt ESK give Fish a long leash if the team implodes early on in '16.

Get whisenhunt to run a circa 2010 offense, draft a playmaking WR and the offense should be mediocre.
That's all we need for 2016

I have a tough time being fair in my opinions about Fisher. I honestly adore him. He has sucked for us though, and we are losing. I want to WIN.

And, all you guys can laugh...but I also find him kinda attractive. :-) My guy jokes me about it all the time.

But, seriously: hand over the offense and admit when you are wrong and stop making us lose.
