There are two changes on their two game win streak. Case Keenum (mediocre) and offensive coordinator. Last night on the broadcast-or sports radio, I already don't remember, Fisher interviewed the man demoted and than current coordinator recently promoted. He selected the one he had to demote. This should be the clue that he is actually a bad judge of character and knowledge.
You and I both know Fisher has been riding a reputation at odds with production for years. He can put together so-so teams and that's about it. In his 21 years as a head coach his teams have been over 8 wins in a season 6 times. If you add the 8-8 years to it you have 11 out of 20 seasons with non-losing records.
lain: Eight sub five hundred years in that twenty-one.
That gets you one of the longest stretches as a head coach in the NFL? Being 13 games over .500 in a twenty-year career?
Of course you can't just go firing tenured NFL coaches that have been to the Super Bowl. Who can he be replaced with that is an improvement? There lies the problem.
I'd argue just about anyone who looks at all promising. Fisher has proven that absent luck and an extraordinary draft he's giving you a semi-respectable team that won't win much year in and out. Take a chance or waste what talent you've collected.
He parlayed a good stint as a defensive coordinator and a bit of luck in inheriting a Titans team that mostly needed an upgrade at a couple of skill positions to be competitive. In short order got McNair and George to spark the offense and that, along with the Walsh tree association and coordinator success, has been the magic carpet he's mostly ridden into mediocrity since.
