Judge him on the years after he was back on an even standing with most other coaches around the league in having things, like, you know, real home games and luxuries like a permanent practice facility with a real NFL weight room and offices for his staff.

He’s had plenty of warts show since they got their permanent digs in Nashville and didn’t have to deal with all that outside crap on an ongoing basis. So the debate can still rage on as to him being overrated. But at least it’s a more legitimate debate about where six playoff appearances (including a Super Bowl appearance, another AFC championship game appearance, and three divisional playoff games ) in twelve years ranks him among his peers.

This league is about winning CHAMPIONSHIPS not about how hard a player plays for a coach (they play hard becuase it is their livelihood), and he certainly has proven he is incapable of doing that and we have 17 years of hard proof to back that up.

If we were a major market team…this dweeb woulda been fired many moons ago. Only because we have a suckass media that kiss’s his a$$ and an owner who could really care less about winning, is he able to keep this job. Six playoff appearances in 17 years, three division titles in 17 years…let him coach your team Monkee……you can have him.

Andy Reid and Marvin Lewis want to know why you’re being so tough on the guy?

————————————–

You’re really going to compare Andy Reid to Fisher? Sure they both only have one superbowl appearance, both losses, and rock creepy mustaches, but the similarities end there.

Andy Reid Regular Season: 9 winning seasons out of 12
Fisher Regular Season: 6 winning seasons out of 17 (or 16 2/3 if you prefer)

Andy Reid Playoff Record: 10 -8
Fisher’s Playoff Record: 5 -6

You’re right. 6 playoff appearances in 16 years sounds much better than 6 playoff appearances in 17 years.

IF you are:

Jeff Fisher
Jeff Fisher’s wife
Jeff Fisher’s agent

If the Titans haven’t reached their true potential (and certainly they haven’t) that has more to do with the competitiveness of the league than Fisher. The fact the players play hard for him (and not lazy diva VY) says something telling about Fisher.
===========================

I’d love to see a coach trot that line out when they are meeting to see if the coach stays:

Geez, Mr. Adams, it’s not that I’m not doing a good job, it’s just that the league is so darn competitive!

And what is your evidence that the Titans play hard for Fisher and not VY? The Titans were 1-5 after Young left the team, and were outscored 155-85.

Andy Reid and Marvin Lewis want to know why you’re being so tough on the guy?
===========================

Andy Reid: 12 years, 8 playoff appearances
Jeff Fisher: 17 years, 7 playoff appearances

Andy Reid: 5 conference championship games
Jeff Fisher: 2 conference championship games

AR: 10 playoff wins in 12 years
JF: 5 playoff wins in 17 years

Yet everyone says Fisher is a great coach, and Reid is under constant heat in Philly.

Go figure.
Both have 1 Super Bowl appearance.

Nick Saban is a helluva better college coach then Harbaugh and he blew in the NFL!

To drewbo22 – Fisher has dealt with and been able to fix roster issues better than most teams and they’ve won over 140 games as a result. If the Titans haven’t reached their true potential (and certainly they haven’t) that has more to do with the competitiveness of the league than Fisher. The fact the players play hard for him (and not lazy diva VY) says something telling about Fisher.

I tend to concur that’s he’s a bit overrated to begin with, but that’s beside the point right now. 17 consecutive seasons as an NFL head coach is practically unheard of these days, and there’s a reason why. It’s demanding work that takes its toll, often in less than a decade.

For the NFL’s and Fisher’s sake he should sit out 2011.

Fisher is HORRIBLE and it rattles my nerves to no-end when even the national media gives this dweeb so much credit. He is 5-6 in playoff games people and three of those wins came in 1999 when they went to the SB.

Fisher is best at shifting the teams downfall onto others (i.e, Floyd Reese, Salary cap issues, McNair to old and injury prone, VY). if is always everybody eles fault why the Titans suck, but never his.

And he has complete control over personal for several years and he is a terrible evaluator of talent (Chris (i can’t find a hole) Henry) 2nd round pick when he never rusher for over 550 yards in a season in college. never been able to develop the wr receivers he drafts (Tyrone Calico, Drew Bennett, Chris Sanders, Paul Williams, Lavelle Hawkins etc). Only one ever amounted to anything was D. Mason and he is only average.

“being a 49er fan…i’d much rather have Fisher than Harbaugh..Fisher has a great track record (except the fraud Vince Young), Niners go get him!”

um, have you see fisher’s record (’06-’10) w/VY vs without? i know you haven’t or you wouldn’t have posted what you have posted

Also Harbaugh is at least a shot. Miami hiring Fisher is senseless, because we KNOW his Def’s can’t even slow down New England, and they’re in a rough way for a Wild Card chase in the AFC.

Fisher is a pretty good to very good defensive coach, and not in that order. It’s really been passing him by the last several years. I could write a book on that offenses shortcomings, and they lose games on special teams foul ups. That all comes down to coaching, and there’s no excuses when you get to Fisher. “VY was mean to me” doesn’t excuse constant fumbles, bad calls, poor blocking schemes, penalties, locker room meltdowns, 0-6 starts, etc etc etc. I like the Titans. I want to be a fan again, but somebody’s got to take out the garbage there first.

One correction @WTE1:

It’s actually 1 SB loss (and only 6 playoff appearances) in SEVENTEEN years, not 16.

“Hello Bud? This is Undead. Shane Lechler for Jeff Fisher, straight up. Whatta ya say?”

Of course, this presupposes Hue Jackson jumping ship, which seems more likely, now that Harbaugh is likely going to Miami instead of SanFran.

The Raiderkarma stars continue to align.

Absolutely Correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Fisher has the second lowest winning percentage of coaches with more then 140 wins in the history of the NFL! Only Dan Reeves has a lower rating!

-Jeff Fisher has the fewest winning seasons of any NFL coach who has won 140 games in NFL history.

-He has only been to the Playoffs 6 times in his 17 years as a head coach.

-His performance in the post-season is the third worst in NFL history for coaches with over 140 wins! Only Chuck Knox and Marty Schottenheimer have a worse winning percentage in the playoffs.

He’s a bust, he should have been fired years ago but somehow has been kept around long past what he should have been. If the 49ers TRADE something for him, we’ll find out that we haven’t actually hit bottom yet. Maybe while we’re at it we can coax Brett Favre out of retirement and trade away Gore for Jimmy Clausen. This idea is that bad.
