What makes Fisher so Great?

I've noticed the same, and that Schwartz gets the same treatment or more. I could swear someone is getting paid off to give these guys a public reacharound. I don't understand it.

 

He's just a classy dude.

 

Fish has charisma. He is a good coach, although I would not classify him as better than average or great.

He is a good game manager and a good players coach.

 

I think he's more over rated than under rated. He hasn't done anything other than 'take' an extremely talented team to the superbowl. Once. A team that should have made it about 3 times, but didnt due to his conservative coaching most the time.
The only reason I like him, is because we could have worse. Not willing to take the gamble. I'd rather stick with the mediocre coach and live off talent than take a chance on getting a bad coach that loses nomatter what type of talent that he has.

 

I'd have trouble saying he's a HOF coach or anything like that, but he does seem to be able to coach up average players and make them very good. At least on defense... we've had a long string of linebackers and DBs that have overachieved under Fisher - Finnegan being the latest example. And like Laserjock said, he knows the game in and out and rarely makes a bad decision. There's a lot to be said for the attitude he brings - teams often take on the personality of the coach. He's even-keeled, doesn't panic, and he gets players to play tough, physical football.

He's not the best out there... either that or his coordinators have really let him down. But he's really good.

 

I don't know coordinators or college coaches well enough to name someone I would want to replace Fisher. But just because their aren't many flashy names going around, there still are probably young coaches that could do a better job then Fisher.

But, you take a chance there that you end up with a Petrino or a Cam Cameron.

Regardless, we are stuck with Fisher now. So i pray more that he starts to learn how to "adapt" and modify his stubborn gameplan so this team can be more than 3 point winners or losers with the occasional 30-40 point loss.


Personally, I'd rather have Gruden. But he's going to be the coach at UT next season once Fulmer retires after the bowl game; you heard it here first. :geek:

 

MJtitans be serious!

Coaching up guys on defense? Even after we added hope, thornton and smith we finished deadass last in total defense last year. How is being last being coached up?

Bulluck-thornton-haynesworth-hope-KVB-pacman-griffin. are these guys average athletes?

As for finnegan any success he has is the result of great speed, hard work and a fearless attitude. Fisher has nothing to do with his success except putting him on the field.

What about day one draft picks that under acheive like odom-laboy-starks?

Then of course the moron move of camp in trying griffin at corner. Yeah they really coached him up. Messed him up if you ask me..
