Under Fisher’s regime he never developed a great passing game (McNair was awesome to watch but never looked like the most gifted passer), some great RBs (even though he ran Eddie George into the ground), mediocre to awful WRs, and a good O-line. I give him credit for getting the most out of his defenses because he definitely coached those guys up.

But other than that, I’m not sure what MAJOR (in caps for emphasis) criteria you can look at when determining a HC’s worth, especially when he’s going to a team that’s been downtrodden for so long. As a Rams fan I’m tired of watching cellar dwellers but despite that the prospect of eventually being ‘mediocre’ (imo) isn’t all that appealing.

What exactly did you want me to show you to “back it up”? Fisher, as most coaches would, was trying to surround himself with familiar coaches (obviously Williams and Schottenheimer aren’t who I’m talking about) to get things going in STL. I’m speaking to the track record in Tennessee which in general 1. Was mediocre and 2. Didn’t produce a ton of interesting football. We could get into a debate about the numbers but the Titans were never a ‘sexy’ team to watch and other than a surprising breakout season here or there, hovered around the median most years.
