A 9-7 juggernaut.

Keith Bullock?

A little whistling past the graveyard going on here?

Most Chiefs fans have been scarred by Marty. I wouldn't say I was excited about him but I don't think he's the coward he's portrayed as on here at all. His teams play physical football and he understands you must have good QB play to win. Plus he still has something to prove unlike Cowher or Gruden. You could do worse.

Wonder if the Bucs bring back Marty...I would have preferred Marty for a short term solution.

The following is an excerpt from Nick Athan is a reerun, Part 1,234,654.

This is from right before Christmas. Good grief.

The odd thing is the 49'rs keep adding talent.

They aren't like the 90's Bengals just throwing picks into the pit and getting jack and squat out. They're finding players. They're coaching them up.

Their defense is a CB, S, and legit DC away from being absolutely dominant. Their offense, with a legit QB, would be explosive.

They are US, only a more talented version of US...

Is the LB i was thinking of, but IIRC was already coming on the season before Gunther arrived.

I don't make a habit of defending Gun, but did you ever see the linebackers outside of Bullock in Tennessee? It was a rotation of crappy players playing far over their ability.

Yeah, he totally failed DJ imo. Can't argue that one at all.

LMAO

I'd throw in a receiver as well...... Crabtree's a terrible WR1.

I can see Peyton going to San Fran if he should leave the Colts.

Why isn't the Niners DC legit? Only gave up 1 rushing TD all year.

SF's Head Coach has it figured out.

Seems like it. Longevity is often elusive, time will tell if his style translates to consistently motivated teams or burn out.
My money is on the former.

Honestly?

I look back to the game they played vs. the Bengals where they should have pressured them and just swallowed them up on defense.

The could have. They didn't and they were very lucky to win that game.

The only reason I can think of is they didn't feel they had the secondary to "cash the check."

That front 7 was crushing the pocket and for the most part snuffing the running game. The Bengals would get 1 or 2 runs PER QUARTER over 6 yards after banging non-stop.

For some reason all game long the 49'ers played off and gave them yards.

That said, as the season went on, that defense has tightened up like a hungry snake in SE Asia...

Only 10m this year but in 2013 45m

I like how Fisher has been called HERM II been labeled conservitive. He called the game winning Latteral on the Music City Miracle when lots of coaches would have just ran it up the Gut to end the game.

Uh... that was a kick return with no time remaining. No coach would have done what you say. Nobody is going to run it up the gut to run out the clock and lose in the playoffs. That's... just completely ridiculous.

I do think Fisher is a good coach. Glad he didn't go to the Dolphins. His Titans teams were pretty tough for a long while there. Think Floyd Reese deserves some of that credit too, but he's not going there, so we'll see. Not sure if Fisher is all that as de facto GM, which I assume he will be.

Dumbshit Dave and the rest of his loser Romeosexuals won't be laughing when they are mired in an epic pile of 4-12 Romeo-fail next year at this time.

Yes, after the awesome Jeff Fisher goes 19-0 we'll all bow down and acknowledge it, because hindsight is 50/50

WTF does Romeo's fail have to do with Jeff Fisher?

Get his cock out of your mouth FFS.

Possibly.

But the same could be said for a lot of teams.

Romeo's fail could have been prevented if the Chiefs hired Jeff Fisher.

Now the Chiefs are going to waste 2-3 miserable years under Romeo.

These Romeosexuals are gonna be sorry next year! Who gets the last laugh? Fisher! When he's got the Rams in the NFC championship game, and Romeo-fail (awesome!) is home watching on TV!

Don't waste your time on these Romeosexuals. Just enjoy the Rams run to the Super Bowl!!!

This is why we had a vote on banning mults...

**** YES!

Why was this posted? Rams aren't even in division let alone the AFC. Of course no one is saying shit about it. Pathetic.

Gracias.

What's both funny and pathetic is that Fisher and Romeo will BOTH be sitting on the couch next January. And the January after that too.

Opposed to 5 miserable years under Fisher?

WTF difference does it make?

6 Winning seasons in 16 years?

Are you ****ing kidding me, man?

What about that screams quality HC to you?

WTF has he done that is so great that you can't get his balls off your chin?

Was it his high flying offense?

His ability to develop a great QB?

His Vaunted Defense?

His winning percentage?

His Mustache?

What?

WTF is it?

I love this hire.

No more 1st time HCs ****ing everything up.

Oh, and please keep the tackle picture up.

Pretty please.

I don't see that many teams that might possibly be attractive to Manning. Then again I have absolutely no way to know what he is thinking; I'm just giving my slapdick intraweb guy opinion.

I'll take an average of 8 wins per season over 3 seasons instead of 3.3 wins over 3 seasons.

Wishing him all the best in his latest venture to accelerate the Rams Organization to mediocrity.

Mediocrity>Shittiness

Hi pot, I see you've met kettle.

They'll be a pretty solid team pretty quickly, I think. But I thought that when they hired that last guy too.

The downfall of Spags was him having final say over the 53 man roster, as well as being as 10-38.

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.

You can remember your last Super Bowl win. I wasn't even alive.

So GTFO.

On talk radio they were saying that after having been through the ove with the Oilers, Fisher did not want to ever go through a move again. This was one reason they said could prevent him from taking the Rams job with the rumors of them going to LA.
What are they saying in St. Louis about the Rams possibly leaving? Anything?

It has been brought up, sure, but in the end, it seems like there is a good chance that the Dome will be renovated.

The Rams owner, Kroenke, is from Missouri and helped bring the team to St. Louis in 1995. That's why I find it hard to believe that he'd move them to LA.

I haven't said that I, or any Rams fan, can't say that we weren't spoiled in 1999-2004.

Do Chiefs fans deserve better? Yes.

I'm a Colorado sports fan, I know the Kroenkes real well. Which is why people don't have any trouble believing he'd chase the buck if St.Louis doesn't cough up. FWIW I'd hate to see St. Louis lose a team even though it would be justice if the LA Rams were the LA Rams again. Maybe you guys could get your Cardinals back.

I just find it hard to believe that he'd move the Rams back to LA. That's all.

I understand that the NFL is a business, and Kroenke is a businessman, but because of where he's from, him helping bringing the Rams to St. Louis, I just find it hard to believe that he would.

I hear you and don't doubt for a minute he'd rather keep the team in his home town. Throw together a winning season or two, get a stadium bill passed and bingo there you go.

Yep.

The turncoat has been busy taking offers & peddling the #2 to Seattle

evansilvaEvan Silva

Per SI's Peter King, the #Rams are "expected" to hire Gregg Williams as defensive coordinator under Jeff Fisher. http://is.gd/m0Ixq0

LOL, dont doubt for a minute that stan wants to take that team to LA.

he looks at it like a challenge, he wants them there, he thinks he can make it work

huh? doesnt he work for the saints?

New Orleans would let him walk?

he was born in columbia

Kurt Schottenheimer is next

Last year of contract.

got ya.

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.

Its nice to know you have a big stiffy for me!

LOL you arent telling me anything i dont know, i was actually at the wedding when his daughter got married...


the MIL still lives in versailles

I forgot she married a Warsaw guy. I know his Mil personally.

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.

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.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slu...f_fisher_01312

Seriously?

Fisher rebuilt the Oilers/Titans franchise from scratch and led them to the Super Bowl and very nearly winning the Super Bowl.

He drafted and developed a franchise QB in Steve McNair.

He drafted and developed several star players in Tennessee including Jevon Kearse, Eddie George and Chris Johnson.

He did all of this while working for an owner... Bud Adams who is unstable in a Al Davis kind of way.

Basically Fisher has done things... win an AFC Championship/go to a Super Bowl, win playoff games, draft and develop a franchise QB that the Chiefs haven't done since Len Dawson/Hank Stram.

The dumbshit haters who want to hate Fisher have their karma... it is called Romeo Crennel.

IMO I don't think coaches should necessarily have that responsibility

Are you going to ban yourself then?

You sound like a mult representing the Romeosexual PR machine.

Prove otherwise.

Ok, let's take these one by one shall we? And again as I have noted multiple times I have lived in Nashvegas for the past 8 years and saw Fisher first hand.

Fisher rebuilt the Oilers/Titans franchise from scratch and led them to the Super Bowl and very nearly winning the Super Bowl.
Yes this is true and Fisher did this during the Clinton admin, plus it took a trick play (aka The Music City Miracle) to get out of the first round. Since that playoff run Fisher's playoff record is 2 -6.

He drafted and developed a franchise QB in Steve McNair.
Again, he did this during the Clinton admin. And when the team drafted VY, not defending the pick mind you, Fisher acted like a petulant child. When he said either VY or him the team cut VY and Fisher still quit.

He drafted and developed several star players in Tennessee including Jevon Kearse, Eddie George and Chris Johnson.
True, but I would argue that Kearse and George were "no miss" talents. CJ was quite the pick up. And if you notice CJ's stats his yardage had dropped every year since Fisher (ak went all Herm Edwards) ran him to death when CJ hit 2,000+ yards.

He did all of this while working for an owner... Bud Adams who is unstable in a Al Davis kind of way.
Umm...no. While Bud Adams is a dirtbag he is not even in the same solar system as Al Davis. In fact I would pose that Adams allowed Fisher to keep the same vet team together longer than he should have which put the Titans in cap hell.

Basically Fisher has done things... win an AFC Championship/go to a Super Bowl, win playoff games, draft and develop a franchise QB that the Chiefs haven't done since Len Dawson/Hank Stram.
Yes he did, once and never again. And the fanbase is full of what most on this board would tag as "true fans". The Titans rank 2nd behind UT & SEC football down here.

I am not thrilled about Romeo's hiring as the head coach but dude your love for Fisher is somewhat misguided. Fisher had never had "great" teams but he has never had any truly awful teams, just a lot of mediocre teams. He's Marty 2.0.

Actually that's not true. Marty could take a 6 - 10 team and make them a 10 - 6 team (see the Chiefs' during the 90's) whereas Fisher can take a 12 - 4 team and make them 8 - 8.

I'm laughing my ass off at 50/50 and other Fisher fans who desperately wanted him in KC.

#1. Our defense has JUST made the transition to a permanent 3-4 structure. It's no longer a hybrid, and it's pretty damn good the way it is. Switching it back after years of improving it to this point is just stupid. Plus, the young players on this D aren't done improving yet. We have yet to see how ****ing good this defense can be. A 4-3 guy like Fisher would force us to possibly acquire radically new and different talent.

#2. Fisher isn't going to do shit for this franchise if we don't find a franchise QB. And newsflash! Crennel ain't gonna do shit without a franchise QB, either. Oh me oh my!

We already have the franchise qb, God Bless America. Stanzimania.

I want this to be true so badly.

Of course I wanted this to be true for Mike Elkins and Matt Blundin too. :D

Players expected to improve next year:

Houston
Belcher
Berry
Bailey
Lewis (probably)
Jackson (possibly.. his stock is definitely on the rise and probably hasn't plateaued yet)
Powe (okay, shot in the dark that he'll make any kind of impression on the team, but you never know...)

That ain't bad at all. We're gonna get REEEALLLY scary good on defense.

LMAO LMAO LMAO

Make it stop!

I think Bailey will only get better.

If we happened to pick up Hightower in the second I would JIMP
