The other problem he had was winding up in a division that included the Mannings ... a situation reminiscent of Marty and Horseface.
Apparently, there was some kind of recent problem, though, that involved re-signing some staff members without consulting Reinfeldt (the current GM). I think this is a case where Fisher either got too comfortable or too controlling ... or both.
I will say this about the guy ... he had the magic touch when it came to developing defensive linemen. I don't know how they did it, but they could take rookies and scrubs and turn them into disruptors. You go, Fisher.

I think Floyd Resse comprehended it, his style was to go all out, all or nothing, try to win a SuperBowl, then blow it up. He said so on his radio shows. The problem is he never got the SuperBowl win. But he knew what he was doing, and probably knew he would get fired when it was time to blow it up without a SuperBowl win. He was basicially trying to do what the Florida Marlins did but never got the ring.
