Get a OC or DC from somewhere. I think the college climate is so different that it makes it harder to know if the coach can handle the pros.by Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotepromomasterj HBO and the NFL did. I'm sure the Rams would have rather not done it. Teams are forced to do it by the league. My point wasn't that there was orchestration, but that the cameras spent a lot of time on Jeff and it was pretty clear that he and Led do not spend a lot of time working together - almost none if you look at the show footage compared to previous years - even when meby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLesBaker Who knows why, and maybe he had a busy schedule. Who knows what the reason was but I can't say it's a sign or signal or tell that he is gone after this year. It's too big of a leap in logic.... I just don't see any connection between Hard Knocks and the current turmoil. It requires believing this: Kroenke resigns Snead to a contract extension while simultaneously orchestby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRam_in_Oz Might be why Snead was so low profile during the Hard Knocks series! You think Fisher spent training camp trying to distract cameramen from shooting film of Snead? I think it's more likely that HBO perceieved that Snead talking is less entertaining than footage of players rolling over golf carts, and players getting cut, and a grown man trying to explain how tank tops with incby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLesBaker My first thought was "I wonder if he's pulling the media's leg, if he's effing with them". He's not a big fan of the media, so I can see him being kind of snarky like that. My guess - and it's a total guess, obviously - is that he denied knowledge of it simply because the main point he was trying to make was that he is thinking about coaching, he is thinking about footbaby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotepromomasterj The guy was a ghost on the show. Never in any shots, barely in the scene with Tavon's contract extension, no sound bites. Different from the other seasons of Hard Knocks. This was brought up on the board when the show first aired and most posters poo-pooed it as no big deal. I think it was telling. Telling of what? I didn't notice it, or think twice about it, but I haveby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLesBaker “I’m so busy here, I was honestly unaware he was extended. I’m being honest with you, we’re just working here,” Fisher said. “I look at this as being my responsibility, the win-loss record. We need to do a better job from a personnel standpoint. We’ve had some unfortunate things take place with some high picks in Stedman Bailey and Tre Mason and those kinds of things you don’t anticby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotelaram That would have been the time that you announce an extension for your head coach. Most fans and people within the walls were feeling pretty good about the team! Heck it even had posters on the board making comments like "They're obviously going to win more than 5 games" So IF you were sold on your guy, there is no better time to announce the extension than after a tby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
Right. I am always amused by how freely people throw away other people's money. You don't become one of the richest people in the world by treating $15 million like sofa cushion money. And I will say this about Kroenke: from what I have read about him, and what I have seen in the way he pursued buying the Rams, and the way he pursued Los Angeles, the man makes long term plans, and sticks wby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
Another tea leaf reader. Everyone understands this is just Plaschke's speculation, right? He doesn't have any inside information, and doesn't even pretend to.by Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM that Stan is not reconsidering things and is not rethinking Fisher? That seems a bit of mind reading to me as well... which I'm not in the least opposed to, by the way. :spintounge Fisher...as opposed to who? Give me a name. Fisher has been in the league, and coaching, for how many years? Fisher isn't an idiot. He may not have the win/loss record you want, but who outby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM Or maybe not..not sure :confused - and by the way, HI.... in PM I asked about you some time back with zn....good to see you still kicking. :laughing I do agree Stan has long range plans... I would add that that's not necessarily a bad thing. That said, his long range plan is on the verge of collapse with what happened this year... and if it continues next year? He can't open thaby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn QuoteLesBaker But I don't think he is getting a glimpse inside the doors. I don't think anyone is getting that. That's pretty obvious. Unless you have an agenda or something. Lotta mind reading going on these days. Peter King, Vinny Bonsignore, Bill Plaschke. None of these guys actually know anything. Nobody is talking. Least of all, Stan, who is the only guy who knows what Sby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com

I think it will be Jeff Fisher.by Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
Newsflash. Kroenke doesn't care what you think.Your uproar isn't going to change anything. Kroenke is a billionaire, and he didn't get that way by following the whims of the masses. He knows that if the Rams win, ticket prices will be driven up. So what it comes down to is this: Kroenke thinks Fisher gives him a better opportunity to win than you do.by Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLesBaker First there is very, very little chance that Fisher is getting fired with just a few games left. It almost never happens and these two guys like each other. I don't see Kroenke humiliating someone he very much likes to satisfy some loudmouth media types and unhappy fans that he doesn't really care about in the first place. Also, I'm not sure what you missed but the fans and the mby Zooey - RamsFootballFans.com
