Telling people to kiss his ass and leaving press conference early.
Seems like he can't handle the pressure
But he's the head of the competition committee, he need to be held to a higher standard
Jeff Fisher "looks the part" his way into coaching as long as he has

CINCINNATI -- As St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher not-so-subtly made it clearto the world that his team is not lacking for effort after its latest embarrassing loss Sunday, he offered perhaps the most revealing response in his more than 3½ years as the team's head coach.
"It's not an effort issue right now," Fisher said. "It's execution. It's 70 percent offense and 30 percent defense."
Fisher excused his special teams from the mix, but no matter how he chooses to slice up the pie, the truth is that the word "execution" is nothing but coachspeak for "not good enough." And though we won't get into assigning percentages, the vast majority of the blame for that falls at the feet of Fisher.
For it's Fisher who picked the players who don't execute on a weekly basis. It's Fisher who hired the staff that coaches the players who don't execute. It's Fisher who puts together the game plans that have yielded a 24-34-1 record since he took over. It's Fisher who has overseen a team that has posted a record that has gotten progressively worse each season of his tenure and might bottom out this year unless there are wins left on the schedule that aren't apparent to the naked eye.
To his credit, Fisher elevated the Rams from NFL laughingstock to something closer to the middle. But as his two-decade career as a head coach would indicate, that's where the improvement train stops.
Sunday's 31-7 loss to theCincinnati Bengals offered more evidence that the wheels have stopped moving forward, and as they begin to roll backward downhill, it brings us back to the current reality of the Rams under Fisher: At the end of this season, it's time for a change.
Not just minor tweaks to the offensive staff or a couple of personnel changes on the depth chart, but the type of wholesale staff and front-office changes that can give the Rams a chance to take the next step.
Asked if he feels like he's doing a good enough job coaching the team, Fisher didn't deny that he isn't.
"I've lost four in a row, so no," Fisher said. "That's not acceptable, but we're going to keep working at it."
But the Rams under Fisher have been "working at it" for nearly four full seasons without much in the way of results. While the Rams continue to languish in NFL and quarterback purgatory, other teams have realized sudden and profound change. The Rams, meanwhile, seem to be regressing.
"I wouldn't say that it's been regression," cornerback Lamarcus Joyner said. "Things are just not going our way. I mean, as an organization, we can't worry about what people say. It's about us. We have a lot to fix and we're going to do that."
Therein lies the problem. Sure, every team in the league has things to work on, but in the fourth year of any regime, should that team still have "a lot to fix"? Each week this season, Fisher has been asked about his offense, which rates as one of the worst in the league and is playing like the worst in the NFL right now. He continuously makes reference to fixing it, but nothing has changed.
In the first seven games, the Rams averaged 19.3 points per game, which was not good enough and below the league average, but enough to help them to a 4-3 start. Over the past four weeks, the Rams have scored a total of 51 points, an average of 12.8 per game. They've lost all four.
The weight of that offensive ineptitude has caught up to a defense that seemed playoff-caliber early in the year but hasn't fared so well over the past month. After allowing just eight touchdowns in the first seven games, the Rams' defense has yielded 11 in the past four weeks.
Without the results, wouldn't you think it's hard to keep buying in to what Fisher is selling?

Jeff Fisher says he’s run out of answers

After the Rams were blown out in Week 12, coach Jeff Fisher said that critics of his team’s efforts could kiss his ass.
The Rams got blown out again in Week 13, which should lengthen line for people to slap their lips on Fisher’s cheeks but he didn’t repeat his invitation after the 27-3 loss to the Cardinals. Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Fisher said he’s run out of answers after the game, although it’s been clear throughout his team’s five-game losing streak that solutions to problems aren’t part of the Rams’ M.O. this season.
Case Keenum will start at quarterback next week and he can’t really do any worse than Nick Foles, but it’s silly to think that there’s some silver bullet waiting for a 4-8 team that has been outscored 58-10 in the last two weeks.
A better use of time might be figuring out if Fisher should keep getting chances to coach the Rams. With Sunday’s loss, he’s guaranteed to go a fourth year in St. Louis without a winning record and it will mark the 14th time in his 20 full seasons as an NFL head coach, assuming this becomes a full season, that will end without a winning record for his club. That’s a lot of losing and the Rams might prefer a different approach wherever they’re playing games come 2016.

the owner Stan Kroenke doesn't give a fukk about wins and lossesI see Grand Wizard Fisher continues to get a pass
breh owns Arsenal too
he's tryina move the team to LA..best believe when that move is complete Jeff is OUT.
?If the Rams fire him, some desperate, downtrodden team (like the Browns, for example) will hire him because he's a "name" coach.
