Stephen A. Smith not a Jeff Fisher fan.Stephen A. blames the last 10 years of losing for the Rams on Fisher. Well, gee, Stephen, trying and understand Fisher has not been the Rams coach the last 10 years. There was some dude name Spagnuola who was there from 2010 and 2011 and was so bad as a coach he got only about 2 years.
Before him was this clown named Linehan and before that Mike Martz had decided he didn't need to coach special teams or defense any longer. His offense alone was going to win every game.
So, ineptitude did not begin and end with Jeff Fisher.
The Rams were a hot mess when Fisher and Snead came onboard. Fisher was brought here to build the talent base on the roster and he and Snead have done that. What they have not had is quarterback they can depend on. Now, maybe they do. So, we shall see.

I both agree and disagree with your last paragraph, Grits.
Yes, the Rams were a hot mess when S&F came on board. No question.
But Fisher was NOT brought here to build the talent base. He was brought here to win football games.
Building the talent base is but a means to that end. And only one of those means, at that. We shouldn't confuse achieving a means with achieving the ultimate goal.
And btw, I give Snead the lion's share of credit for building the talent base, anyway.
I watched Hard Knocks, too. Clearly Fisher is aware that a 7, 8, or 9 win season is just not gonna be enough. 'Bout time that that is his focus.
He's gonna get his chance this 5th year, thanks to a patient Kroenke. Let's hope he gets it done.
Otherwise, then I agree with max and many others. It would be time to move on by finding our own Bruce Arians type.
