i'm not sure i get this? seems to me that we went 4-12 with jeff's smarts, no? had fisher remained it's not too difficult to imagine that goff would have met rosen's fate, that's how bad fisher's rams offenses were with no end in sight, instead of leading the rams to the super bowl.
anyway, i think the nfl went through a long trend where the hc position had morphed into an admin position - the hc had become more of a big picture guy, the manager of men guy, the liaison between the execs and soldiers guys, as opposed to the guy in the trenches who drew up x's and o's in the dirt, but i think that trend has changed recently, has reverted back to the gillman, lombardi, walsh, etc. hands-on days, where hc are again the guys in the trenches drawing up the x's and o's, even calling plays in many cases, which i dig.
whatever the case, whenever i see fisher in front of a camera or mic these days it always strikes me as him interviewing for a job, framing his resume in the best possible light, hard to blame him for that i guess, altho some of what he says is pretty damn ballzy imo.
