It just doesnt add up to me

So, perhaps we could agree that he was an "OK" coach who slid from that not very high bar each season. I guess I could live with that.

I will say this. I care about this disagreement for one key reason: I believe that, in football, coaching matters. When people question Fisher's responsibility, the common reasoning used, in my opinion, finds reasons to let the coach off from his fundamental responsibility: to prepare and lead a team to compete with discipline and consistency near its ceiling, whatever that ceiling is, including injuries. I just can't imagine anyone actually perceiving Fisher as having done that.

But, this issue will never be fully resolved, and it's probably reached the stage where I need to move on to avoid obsessively repeating myself.

====================

Well, you've made your view clear. So take some solace in that.

As for me, its a little more fuzzy. The picture is just a little more cloudy. And I'm fine with that. Ive gotten used to that as i get older.

Fisher will always be a bit of a mystery to me. When i think about him, one of the things i think about is that great Titan team he built and coached. They were pounding the GSOT in the second half back in the Super Bowl. They came off the mat, and played with guts and discipline and patience. The Rams had way more talent it seemed to me. But there was Fisher's team, at the end and the GSOT was on the ropes.

That Titan team didnt just happen by accident, right? So, i keep thinking about that team. If Fisher is/was such a lousy coach....how did that team happen?

But then you have the all those mediocre years.

I cant reconcile that. Others have explanations. I've read them. It doesnt settle it for me. Things dont add up, to 'me'. So....Fisher is a bit of mystery to me.

But i hear what yer sayin, RFL.

But if Fisher was 'good once' and then later 'wasnt good' --- how does 'that' happen?
