Today I read a piece on ESPN listing Jeff Fisher as "safe for now". Citing he can't be blamed for Bradford's ACL injury.
I am curious the mental state of ROD as it relates to Jeff Fisher; How secure is his job entering season 3, which by most accounts is the magic number for a turnaround?
I expect a number of responses to declare "ask me at the end of the season". Instead, play along...
Without question all of us expect results in the form of wins. Another losing season would suggest a stall in progress.
One could also argue he didn't handle Bradford's comeback appropriately. Not the rehab and preseason utilization, but protecting the roster against another injury by failing to draft a QB high enough to be plan B.
Then again, can we measure his performance strictly by wins and losses? No question he inherited a bare-cupboard roster and would be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't think he has rebuilt the talent on this team.
Unlike years past, I find myself in a much different place as it relates to our Head Coach. I feel like we have a franchise guy. There is "control" inside the walls at Rams Park. We have a leader. We have direction. We have a plan.
Can I stomach another losing season? No! But... do I want to start over? No!
I like how the Steelers rode out the highs and lows with Bill Cowher. Granted, we need some highs real quick... But that's the kind of HC I believe we have in Jeff Fisher. A franchise coach.
Thoughts?
