TheGoodBits Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 John Clayton is claiming it is a done deal."Do not be surprised if Jeff Fisher ends up as the defensive coordinator in Philadelphia. Within the last 2 hours, Andy Reid has told 2 of the applicants for the position that the position has been filled. So do not be surprised if Fisher winds up very quickly in Philadelphia working with Andy Reid." http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6066343 Recall he was DB coach of the Eagles in 1986 and 1987 and was defensive coordinator from 1988-1990 under Buddy Ryan. This will suck for multiple reasons, first having to deal with his defenses as DC and then having to deal with his teams as HC once Reid leaves.

ouvan59 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Jeff Fisher compiled a 142-140 record in 16-plus seasons with the TitansThat's about all anyone needs to know about this "parting of the ways", time to move on. Good luck in the future Try 142-120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year with a new CBA in place he signs a long term head coaching position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 First let me say and this is just my opinion, to those that believe he'll take a step back and be a DC. I honestly don't think he will, because I believe he wants to be a HC again. Becoming a DC could backfire for being a HC again. If he goes to the Eagles and their defense stinks it up worse than it did last season, teams will think twice before picking him up. That's just my opinion though, so yeah, I'd be highly surprised if he's a DC next season. As for him being fired. I was actually shocked. The owner chooses him over Vince Young, then won't let Fischer's son take a small coaching job? Oh well, guess that's why the Titans will be hiring a coach for the first time since they were the Oilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWinzit Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 According to the Philadelphia News' Les Bowen, ex-Titans coach Jeff Fisher is not a candidate to become the Eagles' next defensive coordinator. John Clayton, among others, connected the dots to suggest that it would be a sensible one-year fix for both sides. Fisher coordinated the Eagles' defense from 1988-90, and he could have joined defensive line coach Jim Washburn in moving from Nashville to Philly. As NFL Network's Michael Lombardi points out, though, established head coaches with 142 wins don't have to settle for coordinator jobs.

Texasaurus Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 WTF?!?!?! I'm glad the Cowboys went with Garrett. I'd hate to see this guy running things in Dallas. Is there still a head coaching job available anywhere in the league? This is just crazy, especially at this point. Who in the world are they going to hire? Lane Kiffin? I really do not believe he'd have made the kind of splash impact you think he would if he did end up coaching Dallas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubble Screen Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Yeah I was listening to it on 106.7 the fan. They are asking who will win a superbowl 1st Vince Young or Jeff Fisher. That's a stupid question. VY will never win one. He's a loser. And before anyone brings up his career record as a starter, consider he has a losing record against teams above .500. ---------- Post added January-28th-2011 at 02:05 AM ---------- You don't go from a head coach for 17 years to a defensive coordinator. Yeah, I don't see that happening either. My guess is he sits out a year (probably doing TV work for ESPN), then coaches the following year. He might want to see how the CBA plays out as well. ---------- Post added January-28th-2011 at 02:08 AM ---------- First let me say and this is just my opinion, to those that believe he'll take a step back and be a DC.

A great majority of players in that locker room don't want Young back. And about the other thing: Bud Adams doesn't believe in having relatives working for him. HE doesn't even have any! So why should be allow his head coach to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Fisher will most likely go the way of Cowher, Shanahan, etc. and take a break. He was at Tennessee for too long anyways.

dockeryfan Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 John CLayton loses a ton of credibility with this one. There is basically no chance that Fisher coaches in Philly next year as a DC. No basis in reality. I can't believe people are actually taking this rumor seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachSkin Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 10 of his 16 full seasons were 8-8 or worse and just five playoff wins which, had it not been for the Music City Miracle, would only be two. Also, he never made the playoffs more than two years in a row. If not for the Music City Miracle he'd have probably been gone long ago as it gave him goodwill and in the first few years before that he was given a free pass as they had lame duck years in Houston and a couple years of temporary homes.

dockeryfan Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Reid says the job is filled, so I guess it's not one on the GB or Steelers coaches. (unless he's a lying walrus, which is possible) So now they have a line coach but no coordinator. BTW, I remember another team that did a similar thing. Hired an offensive coordinator before the head coach. Didn't work out too well did it? Maybe the gold standard is trying to copy Dan Snyder's hiring practices. EDIT Oops wrong thread I thought this was in the mcdermott thread. Oh well it fits a little I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit different though, don't you think? Zorn (recently fired btw) had never been an OC. Washburn is recognized as one of the best of the business and that's a step down from a coordinator position. That being said, the whole DC situation is weird. The Fisher-to-Philly talk seems ridiculous, although it would be a dream come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No basis in reality. I can't believe people are actually taking this rumor seriously. Unless Fisher really wants the work, it doesn't make much sense. Fisher is going to get paid by the Titans regardless. Rumor on NFL.com is that Gregg Williams is a strong candidate to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jones Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 good. fisher was, is and will be overrated. Fisher is a good head coach. Remember, a head coach is only as good as the players the FO brings in. I don't know how much input he has on player acquisition, but he is a good head coach. Put him in Pitts and he wins SB's just like the guy they have now. Put Tomlin in Tenn and you would get the same results. Belicheat is another example. He is a very good D coordinator, but he needs players to execute his defense just like every other coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(unless he's a lying walrus, which is possible).Quite possible!The Eagles have asked permission to interview Packers safeties coach Darren Perry for their defensive coordinator vacancy. Green Bay has two fantastic DB coaches in Perry and cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt. Perry, 42, can't interview until after the Super Bowl. The Packers do have the option of declining permission as they did last year with QBs coach Tom Clements. The Bears wanted Clements for their offensive coordinator job.
