In a span of two days, Jeff Fisher went from leaning toward one team to favoring another and now remains undecided.
The Miami Dolphins and St. Louis Rams are still waiting on Fisher to decide where he will coach next season.
The Dolphins appear to hold the advantage for the former Tennessee Titans coach according to reports, but the saga has taken twists throughout.
The NFL Network reported Wednesday afternoon Fisher was "close" to accepting an offer from the Dolphins after originally favoring the Rams.
A little perspective is in order for those of us (me included) growing weary of the wait for Jeff Fisher to cast his coaching future with the St. Louis Rams or Miami Dolphins.
Sometimes, these things take time.
The Rams' previous coach, Steve Spagnuolo, was not hired until later in January 2009, on the 17th. The other NFC West teams hired their current coaches between the seventh and 14th days of January in various years.
My thoughts on Fisher and the Rams at the moment:
Upgrading is key. Spagnuolo's 10-38 record made staying the course untenable. Still, firing him was the right move only if the team could upgrade the position. Fisher is one of 16 coaches in NFL history to coach 262 or more games. His Tennessee teams posted five seasons with double-digit victories in the 2000s alone, and six overall. The Titans also went 8-8 five times and 7-9 twice. The Rams were never better than 7-9 under Spagnuolo. Fisher has been better than 7-9 in 11 of his 16 full seasons as a head coach. That makes Fisher an upgrade.
