Won't happen, but it would be nice...

Del Rio has never been a big game coach. He had a couple of decent years in Jacksonville thanks to weak schedules, but you could always count on his team losing handily when they played the better teams. He's much like Jeff Fisher is, who always ends up at about 8-8 every year.

I would argue that.

Fisher was always milk-toast in the regular season and balls to the wall in the post season. He'd try or do anything to win.

Del Rio is more like the post Steve McNair version of Fisher. Del Rio was never as successful as Fisher was in the playoffs and isn't as good of a coach IMO, but he would take a lot of the gambles during the regular season that Fisher did in the playoffs. I would guess that his overall regular season record is very close to .500.
