Jeff Fisher Will Not Coach Miami Dolphins

PrintThere is a bit of news from a division rival today. Former Titans head coach Jeff Fisher has chosen to become head coach of the St. Louis Rams. He also had an offer from the Miami Dolphins.
Jeff Fisher will coach the St. Louis Rams next season, a league source tells ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
I consider this a bullet dodged. I always thought Fisher was an excellent coach in Tennessee. His career started out with a bunch of so-so teams, but he eventually built the Titans into a consistent winner. The team hit cap hell in the middle of the last decade, but in a few years, Fisher had them back in the Playoffs even with Vince Young and Kery Collins at quarterback. I have also heard from people around the league that he is very well respected for how thorough he is.
That is a bit of good news. I was not happy to think of having him in the divison.

F*** him
All he ever was an average coach who endorsed thuggish punks and had trouble thriving in a weak AFC south. He knew he couldn’t hang with the Jets, Bills, and Patriots

Can't believe I'm saying this
but a proud football club the Dolphins deserve somebody wayyyyy better than him, somebody with more integrity.

lol
‘marty ball schotty’, or ‘3 and out’ schotty, despite the fact that the two can often be seem as interchangeable

Fisher is an
average coach in my opinion. I guess Mike Nolan won’t be back if they get a coach, who runs the 4-3.

That's too bad
I think very highly of the way Nolan runs a defense, he deserves better than to be cast aside by a team like that.

Fisher coached 16 yrs in tenn, Rex has been a coach 3 yrs. that’s a dumb comparasion.

6 winning seasons and he’s a good coach. Rex has 2 winning seasons one 500 season and people are saying he might be on the chopping block soon. By the way fisher has one more playoff win then Rex does.

Context is important.
He was probably hired by Houston before he was ready and had a number of average years at the start of his career. Then he had a stretch where they contended. Then they were destroyed by their cap situation. Then he made them competitive again even without a very good QB.

Spot on John B. If we didn’t have Rex, I’d want Fisher as the Jets’ HC. I’m glad he isn’t going to Miami.

well
It’s back to the drawing board for the Dolphins. Since their initial meeting with Fisher, the Dolphins have interviewed Chicago Bears special teams coach Dave Toub, Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin and Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer.
i’m not realy scared of any of these guys, maybe zimmer. i don’t know much about philbin, although he is the packers OC

Packers had a $hit load of talent.
Miami is a few years away from that.
And the home of the .... JETS!!!

I always thought Fisher was a great coach. He would’ve been perfect in Miami. Hope they do a Sparano for Schotty switch.

Great news
Fisher is an excellent coach so its great he wont be in our division. The NFC west is going to be a real good division because all of the teams now have good coaches.
You have your choice...
of going to a city with beautiful palm trees, gorgeous women, great year-round weather OR going to a city with real football fans! What would you do?
What – would – you – do?
España 2010 Campeones del Mundo!!!
Probably though the Rams and the division he had a better chance of getting to the dance.
And the home of the .... JETS!!!
Now lets get a G-D snack!!!

Kind of surprises me
I think Fisher and Miami would have been a good fit for each other – solid run defense, feature back who is also a good receiver, no-name but serviceable receiving corps. Basically I tried to compare Miami’s current state to the style of team that Fisher had with the Titans.
Not sure what his rationale for choosing St. Louis is. The team is a mess. Maybe they were desperate enough to offer more money.
