JohnnyLV Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Did anyone watch Hard Knocks? Of all the seasons, I think I am so far least impressed by Jeff Fisher. He just comes across as an arrogant lazy "tenured" head coach douchenozzle. I mean I don't think I ever heard him mention the word team. Everything was "I". His cutting of that one player was uber lame. I have always thought he was well spoken in an interview but insanely overrated as a head coach and Hard Knocks makes me think he is even worse than I even imagined.

Integrity28 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I heard them talking about it this morning on Boston sports radio. Basically dumping on Fisher for cutting the guy for having a girl in the room past curfew. All I could think was: If Beli had done this, the narrative would be "he's got his eyes on every detail, this is why he's a genius, yada, yada, yada..." Hard Knocks is stupid. Rex greatest moment was that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoTownsell1 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I have ZERO problems with cutting the kid.The kid was a fringe player that broke the rules. If you are trying to make a roster and you break the rules in week 1, expect to get cut. If that was Gurley or Goff would the kid have been cut? Of course not, but that is the life of a fringe NFL player. As for Fisher, he seems to be a solid head coach that runs a pretty tight ship. Is he charismatic like Rex or Bill Obrien? No. But a Hard Knocks involving Bill Belichick would be pretty boring as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbatesman Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Jeff Fisher has been an NFL head coach for 21 (!) years and has made the playoffs 6 times. Not sure why anyone would need to hear him mic'd up to realize he sucks out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoeword Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Didn't see Fisher on Hard Knocks, but the Miami head coach they showed a few years ago (who cut Chad Johnson) was pretty uninspiring, though he seemed like a very nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadetree Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'm a big fan of Fischer. I understand where everyone is coming from and he certainly earned his spot on the hot seat this coming year, but I've always been a fan of his coaching style. Ive always liked his defenses. He can get aggressive on both sides of the ball. I like his demeanor. Ive always been a fan. That 7-9, 8-8, 9-7 sh*t gets old fast with ownership and fans..plus, they're now in LA and I can see them wanting a "headline" name like gruden or someone like that. So his head is on the chopping block. Let's see what he can do and I'll either eat crow at the end of the year or I get to say."I always knew I should've been a GM." People on this site love sayin that sh*t-I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 RVINE, Calif. -- And yet another lesson to be learned when your nearly every move and sentence is being recorded for public consumption. Mom is watching. Los Angeles Rams coach Jeff Fisher learned that after the first episode of the HBO "Hard Knocks" documentary series aired Tuesday night, capturing him using some R-rated language. The next day, a phone call came. "I got one of these yesterday, 'Jeffrey!'" Fisher said Thursday. "This is from Mom. So I said, 'Sorry, Mom. That's our world. I'll try to do better.'" "When I hear 'Jeffrey!' It's uh-oh. Something went wrong." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsamuel84 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Anyone still watching? The whole Hard Knocks concept has definitely lost some steam but still an interesting watch. Goff hasn't looked good at all and Fisher is a lot less of a hard a$$ than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drsamuel84 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 They're strength coach Rock is awesome. Not only is he the head strength coach but he'll take snaps under center for the QB's and does what essentially amounts to cutting guys. Also just seems like a great guy, I can see why even at 70 years old he still wants to be so involved in coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I remember Monday Night Football during the Herman Edwards era, and Herm actually got the best of Fisher with playcalling, time management, etc. Herm. That being said, Is Jeff Fisher overrated? It depends on who you are comparing him to The bottom line is there's not a head coach store you can go and pick up an NFL head coach. It's a job (like QB) where the demand greatly outweighs the supply. He is an actual NFL head coach. Which is more than can be said about some of the greatest football minds in the country, for example Nick Saban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite part of the show was when he was addressing the team giving them the...."I'm not excepting 8-8. 8-8 isnt good enough. I'm not an 8-8 coach and this isnt an 8-8 team." something along those lines...yet, he hasnt had a winning season since 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Sanchez, Mark. It's a single elimination tourney at the end of the year, when inclement weather plays a role. In other words the NFL playoffs are a crap shoot. Whether a team stays healthy or gets hot isn't really on the HC. Getting them there, giving them the chance, that can be a reflection on the program as a whole.
