Former Rams head coach Jeff Fisher should check his expiration date

Jeff Fisher and the Los Angeles Rams will forever share a past filled with more losing than winning. Fisher should know his place, as he continues to shill for an NFL head coaching gig.

Former Los Angeles Rams head coach Jeff Fisher doesn’t know when to go away. Think of a summer cold that never ends, or a house guest who doesn’t know when to leave.

That friends, is Fisher.

Fisher is still angling for a job as a head coach in the National Football League. Whether he should have a job or not has likely been decided by the success of new Rams head coach Sean McVay, The fact that his record and perception hasn’t caught up with him, is another story.

Hey, don’t blame Fish, blame the surrogates in his ear who tell him he’s a bonafide.

He’s not.
Not remotely.

Fishers’ deal is he’s not paying attention to the landscape of the NFL. He’s been replaced by better.

It happens.

In his replacement is the guy the head coaching template is currently being built around, in McVay.

In some ways, I feel bad for the former ball coach. He did the work to move up and draft now third year quarterback Jared Goff. That same QB is now being potentially feted as a league MVP.

Call that May hyperbole.

That said, Fisher would be best to fade into the background of a colorful NFL career. He’d also find his tenure as a head coach viewed more favorably from a few more years of perspective. Meaning the expiration label has been visible for awhile.

He really needs to visit that date which expired in 2016.

One thing Fisher fails to do is heed the advice of former all everything head coach Bill Parcells who reminds that, “you are what your record say you are.”

He should pay attention to those words.

I think Jeff Fisher is a good man who needs to find a new gig. Odds are, it may not be what he wants. But if he wants to embellish his legacy, trolling for a head coaching gig isn’t the right path to pursue.
