Yeah... several people have said this. Of course, none of them have actually spoken with Fisher, but hey... why let the lack of a source stop the media from telling everyone what someone is thinking.

Agreed. He's using us to squeeze more money out of some lunatic owner hell-bent on getting his guy after the Harbuagh debacle.

Lets go get Chud and stop playing around already...
To further expand -
National football post reporting dolphins offering upwards of 8mil + title of executive vice president.
An insane offer to say the least. I wouldn't want Stan to offer anywhere NEAR that.

Why not? I mean the salary won't come out of the Cap so what does it matter if we pay him 7, 8 or 9 million?
I also have no problem with giving him the title of executive vice president. As far as I'm concerned the more power you can give to someone with actual football knowledge and experience the better.

Let the coach, coach. And the personnel people handle the personnel. You realize the exec VP tag trumps the GM tag right? Meaning Fisher would have final say over ALL Rams decisions above the GM. Way too much power for a coach. Let the GM do his thing, and the Coach do his thing.
Re: No More New Jeff Fisher Threads Until An Official Announcement Is Made!
I don't want Fisher if he is going to have the Executive VP title.
Actually, it's now Thursday morning in the UK. I don't want him at all after this amount of time. Get Chud or Horton or someone like that.
I kind of wish Jay Gruden hadn't taken himself out of the running, but at the same time i like what he said and how he said it. Straight away he comes out and says he is staying at the Bengals, and signs an extension with them. No messing around, no leading people on, a straight answer. If anything, sadly, that's the kind of guy we want at HC
Re: No More New Jeff Fisher Threads Until An Official Announcement Is Made!
My sources have informed me that Jeff Fisher is wearing a T-shirt that reads "How do you keep Rams and Dolphins fans in suspense? (See other side of shirt)" on the front.
On the back, it reads "How do you keep Rams and Dolphins fans in suspense? (See other side of shirt)"
Re: No More New Jeff Fisher Threads Until An Official Announcement Is Made!
If the Dolphins are offering him 8M plus Executive VP and he still has not taken that offer, to me that seems like he really doesn't want to go to the Dolphins and he is holding out to see if Stan will make another offer that will be closer to what the Dolphins are offering. That is my guess anyway.

I get this feeling too KCRam. I think he does prefer the Rams, but the Dolphins are making it extremely difficult, with the big carrot their dangling under his nose.?
I will be very disappointed if Stan doesn't pull this off. Mainly because I think it is important he makes a statement for the Rams, and shows the football world, he means business.?
Their is no excuse for failure here Stan. Negotiation should be your domain, so its time to make it happen. ??????? Surprise me Stan.:|

How in the world are we supposed to believe this isn't a leverage play and neither team has made an offer, one week into this mess. Clearly the man has a huge ego and is trying to squeeze as much money and power possible from either franchise. He is just using his media connections to come out as a good guy.
Hire Chud.
Re: No More New Jeff Fisher Threads Until An Official Announcement Is Made!
Who cares how long he waits? The second Chuds interview starts he will be hired!
Re: No More New Jeff Fisher Threads Until An Official Announcement Is Made!
We want Chud! We want Chud! We want Chud!
