As a Colts fan, the "Fire Fisher" talk puzzles me.

Jeff Fisher - Cecil, Collins, Young + Colt McCoy = Superbowl.

 

Pony express,

I guaran-dam-tee you that if the Colts were 0-4 right now with NO signs of improving after a stellar season last year followed by a 1 and out in the p/o's, the Colts fans would be calling for Dungy's head too.

No, but it is his fault for making 'Baghdad Bobesque' statements like 'we need to adjust', 'Kerry gives us the best chance of winning', etc.
0 and 4 Fisher. Just what chance of winning has he provided so far?
It IS Fisher's fault for not making even the smallest adjustments.
It took 0-3 and multiple fumbles/muffs by Mouton to get Fisher to make adjustments...AFTER he cut Mark Jones AND f####ing kept Chris Henry.
If those kinds of things don't make you go W....T....F, then yep, you aren't following this team closely enough.
I don't want Fisher gone unless he refuses to shift his paradigms (which we all know he won't).
God, he reminds me of a stubborn old man who refuses to learn how to use a computer because it's too 'complex' for him, even though he knows it would help him find a job.

 

I say we fire Jeff Fisher, then rehire him as a Cornerback. Maybe he can do a better job at covering receivers when he plays 10 yards off the line of scrimmage.

 

Make that Caldwell. Dungy's a talking head now. Nobody calls for those heads.

 

DOH! I meant back even when Dungy was coaching. My bad for not clarifying that.

But yeah, definitely Caldwell too in his early stages as the team HC.

 

I actually like the fist pump. :ha:

 

Yeah and his replacement already won a Superbowl in 2 seasons where it took Cowher 14.


There was a poll awhile back that asked if Vince saved Fisher's job. Overwhelmingly the vote was no, he did not. I still disagree. We were off two losing seasons, had two major offseason QB debacles, and Fisher was determined to stick with Collins who was running us into the ground. Only Bud Adams making the call changed the course of that season. Then Vince makes plays with his legs, not great coaching strategy, but amazing run ability which saves the season, or at least brought us to 8-8 with a chance at the playoffs in the final week.

If Adams doesn't make that call, we have another losing season, and Fisher is fired in my opinion.


But forget that, Fisher is a dinosaur that hasn't won a playoff game in years and we've only seen 1 superbowl, which was a loss, and that was over a decade ago.

It would be great if he could go out like Cowher, but how long do we wait?

And as far as it can get worse, I don't see things much worse than sunday's game verse the Jags. I don't remember many, if any, performances as uninspiring as that one. Oh and Jeff said this is the best team he's ever had.

 

I'm not yet on the 'fire Fisher bandwagon' either, but am getting close. I don't like how he is stuck in his ways of running a system that is dysfunctional for this current bunch. Chris Johnson is not the Eddie George, Chris Brown, or LenDale White type Fishers offense needs to operate. Which is the only one he knows. He drafted C.J. to adapt to the changes around him, but with Collins playing the role of Tom Brady in high school, his new plan isn't working. I'm sure he's pissed that his tendencies have been exposed, and teams can now dictate what he does, but he's needs to bounce back. They need to pass less and get back to the boring but effective 'Fisher ball'. I like scoring, but would rather win 10-6 every game. Or hell, kill the opposing defense by running, taking up 9 minutes to move into field goal range. Our offense has to consume more time, and that can't be done throwing bombs into the stands. If we can keep our defense from taking the the field we'll be better off also which is why I'm all for taking the ball from Collins and running with it.
