hat I think is that Fisher believes he has a sound 'plan' that he needs to rigorously abide by to get things back on track. Veering from that 'track', even minutely, he is never going to consider -- because he believes in it body and soul.
You do know I don't disagree with you just to be mean. I've more or less, at least partly, stopped doing that, at least for the time being. Why? Because it's the right thing to do.
Jokes aside.
Now to be honest I am not surely precisely what you mean by what would or wouldn't get changed or stuck to. But in fact, Fisher has changed up his plans on both offense and defense more than once now.
In 2013 they started out with that woe-begotten spread offense they didn't have the players for, and it got smashed easily because Darryl Richardson could not run the ball and everyone knew it.
In game 5 they went back to a play-action offense featuring Stacy.
In the first half of 2012 they didn't like the redzone offense so changed it up at the bye. The result was Bradford was one of the most highly ranked qbs inside the 10, with an TDs on attempts percentage of nearly 50%.
In 2014 the defense started out with all these exotic looks Williams was trying and Fisher finally put an end to that after a few games.
This year they didn't like the results of the SF game and changed the type of defense they tended to play. There was even article about that.
Those are just a few quick examples.
If ANYTHING my own criticism of Fisher is that he gives his coordinators too much freedom to do things they're not used to doing and then has to haul them in.
In fact (IMO) if he had not wavered as much as he did in that regard I think they would have started each season stronger. By that I mean, him saying here's our offense (play-action not a spread), here's our defense (ie. less of Gregg's fiddling around early in 2014.)
