The Great Jeff Fisher Debate thread

Gotta disagree with you. Sure your stats are sound, but the only one that really matters in all of this is 0, yes ZERO rings.

I do give him credit for those years like last year where we weren't expected to even finish above .500 and we were atop the AFC in wins. His philosophy is just too outdated. This isn't the 1980s and that old school style of play just doesn't work in 21st century football. The game has evolved and changed so much and Fisher hasn't adjusted.

I have loved this coach and defended him forever but I can't anymore. His stubbornness cost us those first 6 games and more than likely his job here.

I'm grateful for all the good things he has done for this team but he just can't get it done.

 

No No No. Don't get me wrong, Fisher has been a really good coach. I didn't say that we have a 21st century offense. And your stats are on point, my thing is this, we have had great teams before only to come up short.

Again, players fumbling, coming up 1 yard short isn't Fisher's fault. That does fall on the players. But he can't get a pass just because he has been here so long and at this point that is the only thing keeping him here.

Last year, he came off as a miracle worker by turning in a 13-3 regular season record and home field advantage with a team that wasn't expected to do anything.

And to say that he is a great coach because he has come close to winning us a championship does not make him a great coach. He's way overrated. Like I said your comparison with Pitt is a good one, but they have rings, we don't.

It is that simple. Fair to say that we agree to disagree. Cause when Vince turns it on and we really get on a roll, it's gonna wind up costing Fisher his job. I don't say that as just a VY fan, but as a Titan fan. Fisher is responsible for putting the best team on the field for us and he hasn't.

 

Depends on your definition of "upper-tier" I guess. To me he definitely is not elite. His record speaks for itself. 6 winning seasons out of 14 (likely will be 15 after this season). His stubbornness and loyalty to certain players is a big problem. And most importantly, he can't get it done in the playoffs.

My feelings exactly. I defended him forever too. But enough is enough. 15 seasons, zero rings, and only one SB appearance. See ya.

 

Yeah and the upper echelon QB argument doesn't hold up either. Because in Fisher's system, the QB isn't the most important piece.

And sure his record that past 3 years is pretty good but what about in the playoffs? Aha, a whole nother story, cause thats when wins matter most.

 

He's a stand up guy and I hope he continues to coach the Titans.

 

He should sit down...

 

jeff fisher is a good coach, not a great one.

if he were fired today he wouldn't have a problem finding a HC job somewhere else immediately when the season is over.

 

Yeah just because he's a stand-up guy doesn't mean he should be given a pass for almost winning us a championship when he should've given us a championship.

Mike Shanahan was a lot like Fisher, long tenured coach with the same team and he actually won 2 rings unlike Fishbag who has none. And they fired him, for subpar production from his team. So am I saying to follow Denver and can Fishbag, why yes I am. He's been given too long a leash and Bud has been way too loyal to him.
