Jeff Fisher is OUT of There

[RockaFowler]

Rams just fired him.

Too bad. He just tied the record for most losses. He was this close to breaking that record.

[bluedigger]

1. It'll take a bold owner to give him a chance at being the sole record holder.

[KamaAina]

4. Cleveland?

He could have the record next week.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

2. I thought they just renewed his contract?

Didn't make a lot of sense at the time.

[Brother Buzz]

5. He landed a two-year extension, which expires after 2017

The Rams are only on the hook for one year, but the Rams have deep pockets and a huge desire to get the fans back into the stadium, fans who have already stopped showing up to watch a lousy team play.

[KamaAina]

3. There is a rumor that Hairball may replace him.

Sort of like what Satan did to LSU: jump between pro and college, then back -- to their bitter rival.

[ProfessorGAC]

6. Don't See That,Kama

He's a freaking king where he is and has unfinished biz

[Brother Buzz]

8. All bets are off if the Rams pony up the 10 million dollars

Becoming the highest paid NFL coach trumps being the highest paid college coach; Harbaugh likes Michigan, but loves California.


I also understand Harbaugh will insist the Rams retire the puke Rams Millenium Gold color and adopt Michigan Maize and rename it California Gold.

10. Or He Uses It As A Lever To Get Michigan To Up The Ante

And, he already said no. That team is a trainwreck right now and this is a bad opportunity for him.

[JonLP24]

12. Jim Trotter floated that if he were to go to the NFL

It would be the Bears job because of his connections to them like the Michigan job.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. Yeah, On Saw That Too, Jon

He was on Sportscenter with Neil Everret. He was pretty popular with the fans when he was here as well. And, since the fanbase is pretty disenchanted with Fox right now, i can see that.

But, the Bears stink too and i don't see Harbaugh taking over a team with a QB the town wants run out of town on a rail, a defense with hardly any tenure in the league and an O Line that needs upgrades at 4 of 5 positions. (To be fair, they do run block pretty well.)

I see Trotter's point, but the state of the team seems like a bad fit for Harbaugh.

[True Dough]

7. Yep. Eric Dickerson "followed" Harbaugh on Twitter

immediately after the Fisher firing was announced. Unlikely a coincidence...

9. Somewhere, Michael Sam (remember him?) is laughing. . .

. . .and is probably grateful to be out of football, considering the CTE issue. At least he has a chance of reaching middle age with his mind and body mostly intact.

[mythology]

11. Except he played his entire life up to this point.

He's had more than enough hits to the head to potentially lead to CTE or ALS. The NFL players are bigger/faster/stronger, but he was still taking hits from big strong athletes in high school and college.
