Jeff Fisher is a southern California guy. You would think he would want the team to move there.

Maybe as a California guy he like a lot of California guys don’t miss the krazyiness that has become Kalifornia.

Whoever thought this up is a genius. I bet there has ever been a name that resonates so well in the annals of Pro Football. Perhaps some one can rename the Ravens and call them the Baltimore Colts..

If this move is a factor at all in Fisher’s decision (which I highly doubt it is) , he should be worrying about still being the Rams coach by then rather than a potential move.

And many think the Detroit Pistons of the NBA were named the ‘pistons’ because Detroit made automobiles. Incorrect. They originally were the Zollner Pistons, based in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Oh, and Green Bay says that it’s the team with the longest history in the NFL. Incorrect. The Chicago Bears and the Chicago Cardinals both joined the NFL in 1920, while Green Bay joined in 1921.

The specifics of their first stint in LA don’t really matter…the key fact is they did ditch LA. They’d be much better served with a franchise that didn’t have that unpleasant and embarrassing backstory. Frankly, if any place would seemingly deserve a new expansion team, it’d be a place the size of LA, rather expecting the LA fans to instantly fall in love with some retread that couldn’t hack it in some other city.

Larger? Yes. “More challenging and intense”? Really? The smaller the market, the more rapid the reporters. I bet that the reporting in Tennessee was far more intense than anything he’ll encounter in LA. Btw, didn’t he go to USC? Second, is any NFL coach actually paid more or less purely based on the market as opposed to their talent of the coach or the willingness of the owner? Is Ted Thompson paid less than the Rex Ryan? Wouldn’t the team argue that Fischer will have far more promotional opportunties in LA which will more than make up for the additional cost of living expenses?

LA area would have 3 teams. NYC area would have 3.

Chicago might have 2. baltimore-washington may have 2. probly just one of them will.

these may just merit 1: dallas, philly, houston, miami, atlanta, boston, san jose-sf-oakland, detroit, phoenix, seattle, minneapolis, san diego, st. louis, tampa, denver, pittsburgh, portland (or), sacramento, san antonio, orlando, cincinnati, cleveland, kansas city.

that is 32. and would hand 3 teams to LA and another to NYC.

under a population only scenario, forget green bay, carolina, new orleans, buffalo, tennessee, jacksonville, indianapolis, and probably oakland.

but hey, how about portland, sacramento, san antone and orlando…

move raiders to sacramento. move packers, titans and colts to LA. move bills to NYC. move panthers to portland. move saints to san antone. move jaguars to orlando.

We had the Rams for an eternity and Georgia took them to St. Louis even though the team was well supported (I was a season ticket holder) for more $$$$$. Then we had the Raiders and big Al Davis took them back to Oakland for (Guess) more $$$$. Why shouldn’t Fisher also look for more $$$$ just like everyone else in the game looking out for their own pockets.

Good riddance as we now get a lot of different teams to watch on TV and don’t have to endure some stupid management who is really out for more $$$$ and to heck with the fans. Frankly I prefer it this way. :-)

WRONG!

The Jaguars want nothing to do with Jeff Fisher. They played against him for years, and found a way to beat him many of those times.

What is it about Fisher that makes him so great? Is it all of his AFC South Championships? Is it all of his SB rings? Is it all of his playoff wins?

Think about it.

He only stayed with the Titans/Oilers because fan bases and brown-nosing media members gave him a break!!! The breaks came when he had problem-children (ie Vince Young, Adam “Pacman” Jones, and others during some years) or a BLATANT lack of talent in years such as 2004-05!!!

Why the hell post win-loss records when there is no hot-seat consistency or proper evaluation of coaching quality???

No it doesn’t.

Of course it does, they started there, dummy.

Where do these “football” fans come from? Then they were the Cleveland Rams before that, and St Louis had the football Cardinals.
