Lovie Smith gets fired from Chicago following a 10-6 season, without ever once in his 9 years there failing to reach 9-7 or better in 2 straight years. Fisher's last 6 seasons as a head coach have been .500 or worse (last 5 have been sub-.500). Looks like this is another which will mean 7 straight failures including all 5 of his seasons with the Rams. There are currently only 5 black head coaches. Fisher is a lifetime .455 head coach, Lovie is exactly .500.

 

this has less to do with color than personality. L-Smith has a "bland" personality, where Fisher is smoke and mirrors on his way to continual losing seasons. Sucks to be a Rams fan. Speaking of Lovie, where is he now? Potential Bills HC next season if the Bills bottom out this year?

He didn't get 8 years to turn the Bucs around like Fisher is getting with the Rams. ;)

 

More than just Lovie vs. Fisher I think it odd that only 5/32 coaches are black when most of the (former) players to choose from are black. They don't seem to get the same opportunity, to me. Not that I know a lot about the hiring process.

No. He's .515 lifetime in the regular season. He's .455 lifetime in the Playoffs. His overall lifetime average is .5148.

Lovie's .500 in the playoffs and .506 lifetime in the regular season.

He's .5055 lifetime overall.

He'd look good in Blue, White, and Red.

Thanks, yeah I was looking at regular season.

 

Still, Lovie was fired coming off of 11-5, 8-8, 10-6 while Fisher has sucked for 6-7 years.

 

Not advocating Lovie to the Bills which you probably know but its an example. There aren't many examples to choose from, for some reason.

Am I the only one who actually thinks more teams should do this? Not in every kneel down situation, but if it's a one score game and you can force a turnover with enough time to have a realistic shot to get the tying or winning points, why wouldn't you try?

I guess? It seems the risk of injuring a guy is pretty high (all your hoping for is a shocking hit) and odds of turnover very low.

I guess the counter argument would be: tough, dont run out in your victory formation and run a regular play instead? I personally think its kind of a dirty play only bc the offense doesnt expect you to attack it so they are on their heels.
