Jeff Fisher

The Tennessee Titans likely made a mistake in keeping Jeff Fisher around for too long. The St. Louis Rams are likely not going to be so kind to Fisher. Fisher hasn’t been giving the Rams’ decision makers too many reasons to keep him. Fisher has been with the Rams for four seasons including this one. He has yet to have a .500 record with the team.

For his first three seasons, Fisher could at least point to his team making progress and being competitive in an extremely tough NFC West that was arguably the toughest division in the NFL. He doesn’t have that lean on anymore with the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks both having down years.

Fisher seems to have lost his locker room as well and his incompetence in the Case Keenum concussion situation against the Baltimore Ravens proves that he has lost his team on the field as well. The Rams consistently look like they are unprepared. That falls on the coach. It certainly doesn’t help Fisher’s case that he has yet to make the playoffs and the Rams are looking to rebuild. Fisher is not an ideal coach to oversee a rebuild.

Jeff Fisher’s coaching career could be over. If it is, he’ll have a solid career as an analyst.
