. Head Coach. Los Angeles Rams. Jeff Fisher. 30. player. 51

Jeff Fisher is a cerebral guy, as evidenced by his Pac-10 All-Academic selection with the USC Trojans in 1980. Unfortunately for Fisher, his intellect hasn’t translated into wins for the now Los Angeles Rams. The team has four consecutive losing seasons under the California native, and hasn’t been a threat since Kurt Warner starred for “The Greatest Show on Turf.”

Fisher hasn’t led a team to the playoffs since 2009, when his Tennessee Titans were bounced in the divisional round. Perhaps returning to LA will prove to be just the thing to get Fisher and the Rams going. After all, it is his hometown, and the hometown of the Rams.

However, the only thing appealing to me about the thought of getting a beer with Fisher is the fact we’d grab it in Los Angeles. I went to Legoland as a kid and had a great time. Plus there is a Star Wars style Cantina opening in LA in just a few days, so that would be a great spot. But nothing about Fisher screams, “Hey man, let’s grab a beer!”

Even his own mother reprimanded his behavior on an episode of Hard Knocks. Fisher seems like the slick, greasy uncle you try to avoid at all costs at the family reunion. Grumpy and greasy is no way to go through life, and it’s not a combination I look for in a drinking companion.
