LMAO.

 

[ANGR89]

why did they even give him a extension ?

 

[mosslost]

Nice. Didn't they just re-sign him?

 

[FourierSeries]

Rumor has it that Fisher tried to challenge the firing by throwing the red flag, but failed to find it in time.

 

[mosslost]

Sucks he won't break the loss record tho? Or did he already?

It's the NFL way. Keep rewarding cronies who follow your bidding, until there is a public uproar. Then reverse course and drop the axe.

See the Ray Rice situation - Goodell doing his buddy in Baltimore a favor, until the public saw the video that Goodell tried to ignore. Fisher was being rewarded for being a good soldier and league stooge while Kroenke got his act together in LA and was rewarded. There's been a huge public uproar over it the last 10 days, so now they're reversing course.

The extension was a glorified severance package.

I don't think I've ever seen a more disinterested, disengaged and dysfunctional head coach going into and during a game than Jeff Fisher.

"Oh yeah, there was this pink piece of paper on my desk... I folded it up and put it in my pocket...

...now where did it go?"

 

[mosslost]

so, like 2 weeks ago they said "everything's fine".. "don't judge him on wins and losses".. so what happened so bad that changed it? The embarrassing week with NE, not knowing players, and the challenge flag? lol Spare him the all time loss record on their watch? LMFAO

No, he only tied it. The Rams spared him the embarrassment.

 

[rexxar]

Apparently, they extended him before the season started. However, it became public knowledge only a couple of weeks ago

"Oh yeah, there was this pink piece of paper on my desk... I folded it up and put it in my pocket...

He clearly did not care about the game and it is sad to watch.

 

[Uncle Rico]

LMAO.

The funny part: Any team thinking of hiring him will know that his next loss will make him the losingest coach in NFL history. So, yeah, good luck with that.
