Who knew that mediocrity could pay so well.

Should be more wins in 2014.

That would give both coaches 1 full season with their teams.

Not very good at math, are you?

I think alot of owners and GM like "safe" choices like Fisher because you know exactly what you are getting. 8-11 wins a year, win a playoff game or 2 in 5 years......keeps the butts in seats. This is why guys like Wade Phillips keep getting looks at HC. In their minds better to play it safe than a potential trainwreck.

That's exactly it.

We tried to do the RIGHT thing when we hired Haley. That's how you get a Harbaugh or Peyton.

Unfortunately, the downside is...well...Todd Haley.

Yeah, better than screwing up 1, 2 , 3. :D

2014 would be their third season. 2012 first, 2013 second, etc. See how that works?

Seems awfully similar to the QB situation.

Went out and tried to get an "up and coming stud HC" and failed. Now they are scared to try again.

2014. 1 season.

The advantage in talent Crennel has to work with would make it completely unfair.

Coaches generally get 3 years to show something. Fisher should be able to put his own fingerprint on the Rams by then, same goes for Crennel.

Said it several times: Fisher should be judged on what he did during his career with McNair and nothing else.

He would have won at least one Super Bowl if he hadn't run into 1. The Greatest Offense Ever and 2. The Greatest Defense Ever.

Okay.

Air Mcnair was an incredible college prospect with game changing potential. Fisher turned him into a game manager and refused to give him any weapons on the outside and relied on a running game. Had a better smarter coach taken advantage of McNair's talents, the Titans would have been far more successful in the post-season. Not only that, but since Fisher rarely gave him any good protection he was often injured from taking a ridiculous amount of hits.

As for Vince Young... lol. Vince Young as a starter = 30-18

Fisher kept starting Kerry Collins over Young. Collins as a starter under Fisher = 15-17

Remember 2009 when his 'meddling' owner forced him to change QB's and the team went from 0-6 with Collins to 8-2 with Young? I bet fisher was pissed since he was trying really hard to get fired, an action you condemn Haley for but give Fisher a pass on.

McNair was so much of a game manager that he was in the top 10 in passing multiple seasons.

And Young did not win those games. Go and look at the performance of their defense.

$875,000 per win for the Rams with 8-8 Fisher.

On a per pound basis though Crennel really shines.

Remember when the Titans won, what, 12 games with Kerry Collins at QB?

They went 13 - 3, had home field and promptly lost at home in the first game. The entire city of Nashville was on suicide watch after that game.

Hmmm...a coach that loves to run the ball, play strong D, and had a broke dick vet at QB that goes 13 - 3 and loses. That sound famliar to anyone on this board?

Anyone?

Fisher has never had any really awful teams, just a few good teams that were held back by his conservative play calling.
