Demoff's dad is Fisher's agent, who's in L.A.

I agree Fisher isn't going anywhere until relocation is settled and if the Rams are winning, well he might last a while longer than that.

I also agree his upside is pretty limited.

That's it. Every time we lose let's just fire the head coach. It's certainly his fault JL55 called tails.

I believe there was blame enough to go around and no one person is guilty of all. However what I don't like about Fisher is he coaches more from a aspect of fear. His offense is set up that way and even today his special teams decision was a decision based on fear. What if GZ misses the xp because of the wind. So he went for 2 out of fear. I could have backed him if his decision would have been we wanna make a statement and put our boot on the neck of the Vikes and grab any and every additional point we can when we can. However he did today as he has so many times he coached from fear. He has been known to role the dice but is usual when he has nothing to lose whenever he fears he has something to lose we can see time again his decision will be more motivated from that fear of what he thinks could happen.

And all Fisher has to do is turn over the offense to a competent OC... that's it. If Fisher does this, as Vermeil did, we have a team that is going to be extremely tough to beat.

So, then why o why has he not done this? This is what has got me so despondent. It's like we have all the major puzzle pieces but one. But the guy running the show either can't see the last piece, or won't see it.

The best solution in the offseason is for ownership to force this issue, and bring in competent help on offense. If we do this, then Fisher succeeds as a HC and the Rams will contend for at least 1-SB in his tenure.

What about Paul Boudreau? How many different OL players will he go thru before he actually produces a good line? Because IMO the OL is the main reason the offense sputters.

[Rams the Legends live on]

Which is really odd when contrasted to some of the gambles he'll take on special teams.
I'm not sure if it's fear but I know the process has lead us to many frustrating losses.

When I say fear bro I don't mean fear like scaredy cat. Fear like folks will pass on new jobs are other possible choices cause of the fear of rocking ones comfortable life or comfort zone. Fear of a unknown and uncorking the genie in the bottle. So anyway I believe his comfort level is such that he don't wanna rock it many times and keeps him with a more controlling grip on our offense than our defense as he fears more bad things coming out of our offense than defense. Which I would chalk up to his better understanding of defense vs offense. His belief by his actions is of a person who is convinced defense wins championships so I just wonder when he will come to the conclusion ya have to win a game first before that can happen. A great defense is awesome but only having more points wins a game and the majority of the time it will be ones offense that makes that happen. So he needs to find some real balance fast for sure.

Fisher is entering the last year of his deal after the season.
I dont think he'll sign the obligatory 1 year "extension", I believe his ego will push him to try for another long term deal. I dont think he's under any pressure to produce or get out.
I also dont see him as the type to listen to an owner force anything on him
I was fully fine with the idea that we would/could lose yesterday. Its tough to win on the road. But the way that game went down, and WHY we lost, is just disgrceful. Fisher showed no confience in his team and that is how a season goes sideways

One thing that bothers me a lot.

Fisher has been around a long time and he has seen what other teams do to move the ball in the air. He has watched the Rams offense during games and on the practice field. How can he watch his offense and actually think they will be capable of moving the ball in the air?

You'd think he would watch what Cignetti was doing with the offense and say that's not going to cut it. Yet, here we are watching the same inept passing game week after week.

Fisher has no counterpunch to his offense. Minny laid out the blueprint on how to shut it down. They just dared the Rams to convert on 3rd down. And the Rams just don't have an efficient scheme to do it. And that's all on Fisher.

Most expect the Rams to be in LA next year. I wonder if Demoff talks to Kroenke about needing a change in coaching to put out a successful product.

[Hacksaw]

C'mon.. he was being aggressive and trying to get the 4 - 5 point differential. I don't get the fear thing at all. I also didn't agree with a call at all and ultimately in the end it cost us the game. Or at least contributed.
The ground chuck reference is spot on though. And pretty soon it's going to be Todd left, Todd right, Todd up the middle.
I can't help forget the last year at the beginning of the season we tried to resemble air Coryell under Schottenheimer until Fish shut it down due to personnel..
We just need a number one TE and WR and very possibly a new hurler..

I think Fisher really believes his philosophy can and will work. That's the simplest explanation for his behavior.

As for bringing in an OC and letting him do his thing, it certainly worked in '99. But it didn't work very well when Linehan brought Al Saunders in or when Spagnulo hired Josh McDaniels.

Whether any of us like it or not, Fisher is almost certainly going to be our HC through 2016 or longer. We're going to get to watch with our own eyes if Fisher ball can succeed in today's NFL...

remeber what happened when we finally replaced Ground-Chuck, and then Allen, with Ray Malavasi? Yes, Ray was a DC, but he opened-up the offense in the playoff and it almost got us a SB victory against the Steelers while they were in their prime.
