Btowner Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 BTW, if it is such a crap organization and he had such crap talent to work with, what the hell kind of top NFL head coach stays around in that situation for 16 years? Excellent point. Over the years, we kept hearing about if Fisher was on the open market, teams would jump to hire him. I guess Vince Young took the gun out of the glove compartment and forced him to keep renewing his contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 People who don't understand the confluence of events in 1994 that made it obvious Fisher was the answer for the Oilers simply weren't around or paying attention or they have forgotten the mess he inherited.

IowaOiler Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Fisher was the answer to what? Perennial losing...nope. Lack of playoff appearances....nope. Massive playoff disappointments....nope. He did get us to our first SB, but I think everyone knows my opinion on that. The battle seems to be excuses (pro-Fisher) vs. facts (anti-Fisher).

I'm sure Fisher deciding to remain in Nashville had nothing to do with not wanting to move before his kids graduated high school, the fact he loved living in Nashville, and the fact Bud was willing to pay him around $6M per year to stay.

Yeah....couldn;'t have been any of those things....maybe the fact that he was given unilateral control over the entire organisation after Reese's dismassal kept him around for an extra couple of years? Yeah that's probably a reach too. Anyway all of this will be put to rest soon when Fisher is not hired this off season to be the highest paid coach in the league because there is no demand for him.

titanruss Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I could care less if there is demand for him or not. Just because you spend a million dollars on a bag of crap - it doesn't mean that it was worth it. They will get a giant surprise soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzTitan Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 And it doesn't change his average-ness as the Titans HC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, you won't see many argue against Fisher having an easy go at it. Ever since 99 he never had much pressure, was paid very well by a cheap owner, had much more control than some of his fans like to admit, and wouldn't have known what a "hot seat" was if it smacked him in the ass. He was afforded a luxurious existence few Superbowl winning coaches are even granted by their franchises. If anything though it only enforced my point - what elite HC sticks around because it's easy? because he had such a crap team to work with and the franchise was so crap.

OILERMAN Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 The best landing spot for Fisher would be the NY Giants. A franchise QB with a 4-3 defense and a great DL. The NY media would love Fisher and he could shine in a big market. If he was lucky enough to win a SB in the big apple he's in Canton and considered an all time great. It would also be funny to see Fisher continue to stick it to Coughlin. Mortenson reported that Fisher has a real good relationship with Giants ownership. The problem is the Giants are getting healthy and might win the NFC East. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperion Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Of course Coughlin has a ring. Fisher doesn't and probably never will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Fisher will become the highest paid coach in the history of the NFL this off season... ... yet he will still be underpaid. Now there's some irony. LOL.. So who is more powerful and attractive... Fisher or Chuck Norris??? Can this question even be pondered without triggering the end of the universe.. This is like a battle between God and Zues... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faceless Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I'm looking forward to the Fish being the most overpaid coach in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
