Each time he had to rebuild, for whatever reason, he lead them back into quality teams. That’s good coaching. Better than Gailey and Ryan – yeah, that’s right, MUCH BETTER. Better than a good many coaches in the NFL.

Look at what BB did in Cleveland before he found Tom Brady and a team that believed in his system. JF was at the hands of an owner who forced players on him. He’s a great coach and I’d be honored to have him as the Fins coach

Wow, that’s quite the endorsement. You sound like a real believer in Fisher. /sarcasm

Another over-rated recycled coach. As a Nashville Tennessee native, I can truly say this guy gets way to much credit for what limited success he has had as an NFL coach. 17 years as a head coach with just above the break even point with wins, and a far more lackluster record in the playoffs. I do not get the appeal that the national media has for this guy.

This is what you will get with Fisher, A guy that is behind the times as far as his philosophy goes (he believes in 3 yards and a cloud of dust offense, keep games close and hope you can win with a fg at the end).

For a guy that was on the competition committee, with all the rules being slanted towards passing and scoring, he never welcomed that approach to his coaching. Who ever gets him, get your dust masks ready.

No championships.

No playoff wins in 8 years.

No ability to control the behaivor of his players. (Pacman Jones, Albert Haynesworth, Cortland Finnegan, Vince Young)

Yet when they asked John Clayton today how many teams would want Jeff Fisher, he basically said that any team with an opening should want him and that Fisher “would decide” what opening to take.

And just like everyone else who says this, he gave absolutely no backing argument as to why this should be so.

I post this on every Fisher article: Someone please give me a fact backed argument as to why this guy is such a hot prospect and why he is worth what it is going to cost to get him.

You make me think you just started watching NFL football 5 years ago. What are you, 10? He’d be the 2nd best coach in that division for sure.
I think he’d be a great coach for Miami. Seems to me like they aren’t so far away from being more competitive.

I hope they hire the best guy. The team has talent and can be disciplined most of the time. They need a hc that can manage the game better and instill a high level of accountability from the players. The dolphins need som leadership when crunch time comes around. Ross will spend money and Ireland is a better talent evaluated than fisher had in tenn. it may be a good fit if the coordinators are retained.

They ended the season on a pretty good note, and quite a few of the games they lost were close. Whoever steps in is going to have to turn some of those close games into wins. I wouldn’t want to step into that situation when I could go to St. Louis instead and practically fart out a better season than last year’s.

His son worked for nothing the season before to prove it was a merited hiring not nepotism. Fisher is considered a good coach because even though he had only 6 winning seasons he was faced with cap issues and rebuilding efforts on a regular basis. He would have quick turn arounds and managed 8-8 seasons with mid market talent, a half crazed owner who forced VY on him, and facing tough division (AFC Central and AFC South) throughout his career.

if I was a good coach I wouldn’t go to Miami because of how Sparano was treated. I hope Ross has been told as much by Cowher, Gruden et al

I think he would be a nice fit for my Dolphins. Having said that I would much rather have Rob Chudzinkski. Young coach who did a very good job with Cam Newton.

yes Sam has been amazing

6 TD’s, 2 wins, 70 QBR

Jeff must be salivating

well said, be careful what you wish for

Moore hasn’t shown that he can finish games but he has a high completion %, is althletic and has taken care of the ball. I would rather take over the Dolphins than the Rams, Bucs or Colts(without Polian who is a great FO man). The Colts with Polian and the Bolts with AJ Smith are better jobs than the Phins job

Come to think of it, Jeff Ireland and anyone = chasing the patriots and jets.

In his time as a HC…he only had a winning record 35% of the time…. He’s not a winner…well I guess 35% of the time he was

You are not in a position to refuse to discuss any opening with any team regardless of the level of interest you truly have with them. Who knows, maybe Miami offers a palatable trade to Indianapolis for Andrew Luck?

I must say I am baffled no one is ever interested in interviewing Brian Billick as he did you know actually WIN a Super Bowl. Fisher was a yard away from tying a SB once.

Why would Fisher go to Miami with an awful GM and ZERO quarterback, when he could go to St. Louis and help pick the GM he wants to work with and with Sam Bradford and the #2 pick in the draft in the fold?

The Dolphins are perpetually hosed……

Hire this guy. I always knew that the Jags were in for two tough games a year against this coach. His teams come to play and you need a winner. I watched his team rip our heart out in our house on the way to an AFC Championship. I still think he’s a $hithead but I respect him for his ability.
