Kroenke grew up in your part of the world. He is a Benton County boy. Hell I know his wife's family and her brother-in-law's family pretty good. Kroenke's mother in law is a very nice lady. Not really the picture of the greedy Walton family that is shown by the media.

In other related news, Steven Jackson just got his career shortened.

Mediocrity is like being the middle child of three. None of the benefits of either position and all the heartache.

Spags cut draft picks. Kroenke, the owner, wants to build through the draft.

If Spags had kept the draft picks, and maybe had a few more wins this season, I don't think he would have been fired.

Did any of the draft picks he cut have a NFL career afterward?

Stephen Jacksons workload just went through the roof, he'll be total toast by the end of this season.

On the plus side for Fisher, he now has a bona-fide, super accurate pocket passer... it'll be interesting to see how he's used, i fear that Sam will NEVER have a real WR to throw to.

Fisher just cant pick them at all.

awesome St Louis is gonna average 4-12 for at least another 3-5 years.

On second thought, Jeff... just send Sam over to us & you can get some bullshitter like Collins.

How bad was the coaching pool this year, that Jeff Fisher was the most sought after guy.

Or as one source said of Fisher, he told (Dolphins owner Stephen) Ross at one point, “I’ve been a head coach for 17 years and 12 of them sucked because I had to fight for what I wanted.” In other cases, he had to fight against what he didn’t want.

Fisher never wanted to draft quarterback Vince Young with the No. 3 overall pick in 2006. He knew Young was a project so fraught with problems (both physical and mental) that making it work was more difficult than imaginable. Instead, Adams, the man who felt like he was forced to move the franchise from his hometown of Houston, wanted to take fellow Houston native Young in order to get some convoluted form of revenge.

In the process, Adams also cut quarterback Steve McNair, a true team leader, and a guy who could have helped Young get better. Aside from Earl Campbell, McNair might be the greatest player Adams has ever had. Yet, when Adams got a younger option, McNair was tossed aside with zero regard.

---

That’s why, when Fisher was dealing with Ross, he was strident about what he needed. He didn’t necessarily want to get rid of Ireland. He was comfortable with Ireland assessing players. He also didn’t have a problem with Carl Peterson being around, even if Peterson has an extremely close relationship with Ross despite having no formal title with the Dolphins. It was Peterson (not Ireland) who reportedly approached Jon Gruden on the Dolphins behalf and Peterson who has sat in on every head coach interview the team has done, according to multiple sources.

However, when it came down to it, Fisher wanted the final say. He wanted the power to shape the roster how he saw fit. He wanted to know he could sign certain players to long-term contracts when necessary and spend on critical free agents.

He wanted stability in the organization from a football standpoint. Those are things Ross should want. Yet Ross fails to see stability even when it’s staring him in the face.
