Separate sides of the house.

I read on here that people think Fisher should stay on for stability or that they think Stan will keep him on for stability.

I haven't heard/read anything like that regarding McCoy in SD. People think he should be fired.. that's about it.


I think the things that make this case unique are:

1. Jeff Fisher is the top guy on the football side of things. He's "the guy" in Kroenke's management model. If Kroenke had hired a strong GM and made him the guy, then replacing the coach would be up to the GM and you're right, not really on Kroenke and Demoff. But with Fisher being the guy, replacing him will be on ownership and not really business as usual.

2. This isn't like The Colts moving to Indianapolis or Cleveland moving to Baltimore. This (in all likelihood) is a high stakes competition that's coming down the home stretch with an unknown outcome. I can't imagine they want to take on any more than they have to while this is going on. Once location is decided, then yeah, take a hard look at Fisher.

Then again, if the Rams lose out, or something close to it, the math might change a little.

That's my take anyway...

Personally, I would think that with the high stake involved in moving a franchise, Kroenke would hire a relocation group to handle the details.
I mean if the guy is willing to pay a billion dollars to build a stadium, surely he could afford to drop a mill on a 3rd party firm to handle it.
Easy to spend other people's money but thats how I see it. And as far as getting candidates and vetting them out for the job? There's only 32 NFL jobs and I dont think there will be any lack of interested candidates for either the HC job OR GM.
With Aaron Donald on one side of the ball, Gurley on the other, a high 1st round pick, 2 high 2nd rounders and an owner not afraid to spend money, I thinkt the Rams would be a pretty attractive landing site

Agree.

But i'm talking about securing the right to move to L.A., something 3 teams are vying for. That kind of deal making and negotiating is NFL owner work.

And until that's resolved, i don't see Jeff Fisher being on the agenda...
