Fisher to sign $35M deal
![]() http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/S...ar-deal-011712 The St. Louis Rams are set to make Jeff Fisher the NFL's second-highest paid coach, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Tuesday. Fisher, who chose the Rams over the Miami Dolphins Friday, will sign a five-year contract worth about $35 million before his formal introduction at a 2:00pm ET news conference Tuesday. His yearly salary of about $7 million is second only to Bill Belichick's $7.5 million, and tied with the Redskins' Mike Shanahan. The 53-year-old, who did not coach this season after 17 years with the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans, will only be given the title of head coach. However, he reportedly will be involved in the ongoing search for a general manager, and is expected to have significant input on personnel decisions. According to the NFL Network, Gregg Williams will leave the Saints to become Fisher's defensive coordinator, while Brian Schottenheimer, formerly of the Jets, is the leading contender to become the Rams' offensive coordinator. Williams' contract was up in New Orleans, and just last week he had referred to Fisher as his "best friend in coaching." Fisher is also expected to interview former Raiders head coach Hue Jackson for the offensive coordinator job, according to ESPN. |

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. |

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

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. |

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.

On a per pound basis though Crennel really shines.

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

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.
