Rams trying and expecting to extend contracts of HC Jeff Fisher and GM Les Snead before regular season starts, per sources. Deals likely.

Jeff Fisher cannot be killed by conventional weapons.

Has he even gone .500 yet in his time there? I mean what is this season 5 in Rams gear? After several subpar seasons in Tennessee ? Why do people think this guy is a superior coach?

No one thinks he's superior, but he's definitively not terrible. Therefore, unless you find one who is guaranteed to be good it's hard to argue the case for replacing him.

The Rams have gotten quite a bit better under Jeff Fisher. And to be fair he has consistently had 3 of the best teams in the NFC in his division.

Has to be hard to do well when by default 6 of your opponents are perennial superbowl/NFC championship contenders

Although San Francisco Is no longer worthy of being in thst comoanyy

New stadium, new city, new QB. Jeff Fisher was all but immortal for this year and next, no matter what anybody had to say.

But now it's assured that unless they are bordering on 0-16 next year, he will still be their coach in 2018

They are just gonna be really bad in a couple of years because they had no draft capital the last few years, and have no money to supplement guys.

As a result they are gonna end up a bottom of the division roster and struggle to get out of it for a while.

And the OT analogy is wrong.  3 on 3 OT is for regular season games that the league doesn't want to go all night, while the 5 on 5 is for playoffs, which obviously are more important.

The OT analogy is exactly correct. The rule was changed because the old way was causing a problem. So it is here; not enough minority coaches are coming through the ranks, hence we've arrived at the Rooney Rule problem of every year looking at the same couple of guys being trotted through an extensive round of interviews to satisfy everyone's RR requirements.

This rule change (or more accurately new rule, as player comps are unchanged) is designed to provide an incentive to teams to develop minority coaches through their system, and reward them for doing so successfully. Everyone complained about Rooney being a stick, so the league has introduced a carrot. Any team is welcome to continue developing nothing but alabaster coaching staffs if they want, they just won't be rewarded for doing so.

I agree. If we're not to the point where teams aren't hiring the best people for the benefit of their organization, let them suffer the penalty of being a bad team.

I could see a problem with this if a team had to give up picks for the hire to happen. Since it's compensatory to the originating team, both sides have something to gain from the hire.

I still maintain that the team doing the hiring should get a pick as well, since that becomes a further incentive to make the hire, but I can't see any downside to the new rule.

But the idea is to reward teams for developing coaches, not for stealing them. As we discussed before, I think the problem isn't so much that teams aren't willing to develop minority coaches, it's that the ground floor opportunities overwhelmingly go to white guys because they're the guys who know people who know people. I'd be really interested to see the numbers on the percentage of white coaches who previously played in the NFL vs black coaches - my guess is that the vast majority of black coaches were players, far more so than the white guys. The idea of this is to incentivise teams to create pathways from the bottom to coaching in the NFL for the minority career coaches, not just guys who are known because they were good players.

Where is the black Sean McDermott or Arthur Smith or Joe Brady?

I'm not disagreeing with you. I think the grooming team should be compensated.

I just think it would be more effective if the signing team also received compensation. If two candidates are close in pedigree and impressive during the interview process, and one of them is a POC, in this scenario, there is that extra incentive to push the POC over the hump.

It doesn't solve the underlying problem, but it also doesn't hurt anyone, just like the grooming team receiving compensation hurts no one. And it might help.

Raheem Morris? Mike Tomlin? Brian Flores?

Morris and Flores I'll give you, although I think Flores was quite a high profile college player who would have gone to the NFL but for injury so he perhaps already had the attention of people there. Tomlin came from a football family and may very well have benefited from the same connection bias that I was talking about - unless you know the right people, and more importantly they know who you are, it's that much harder to get a foothold. That's common across a lot of industries, but football seems to have a lot of inbreeding in coaching ranks.

And look, I'm not for a moment saying that people who use their connections to get a start in an industry are wrong to do so, or that they're any less talented or capable for it. There's a sound argument that someone who grows up around high level coaching and play is going to have a headstart on understanding the culture and the personalities and the dynamics that are so important in any high pressure specialised work environment. It's just about making sure that that isn't the only or even the primary source of new candidates and resources. The most important thing will always be their talent and aptitude regardless of skin colour, background or name, it's just about getting the first opportunity to prove that talent and aptitude.

And people are worried we can’t be competitive if we trade 2 years worth of 1s for Watson who is a million times the QB Goff is. It’s absurd

Keep in mind, the Rams are loaded at the skilled positions, have a shutdown corner, and the best Defensive player in the league.

This is basically the Jamal Adams trade. Two lqte 1sts, a 3rd, and a replacement.

The #2 pick in the draft is worth more by itself than all the draft capital the Rams gave up.

So it looks like - unsurprisingly - this guy got pretty much exactly what he deserved, and it probably wasn't actually Donald who gave him the shiner he deserved anyway.

Depends how long of a contract is

If you're getting a 1 year deal, might as well go to the ultra talented high profile big market team.

Especially since realistically it should take him a few weeks to get acclimated to any offense, and at that point all you want is a title run.

Plus who knows maybe Green Bay decided they have enoguh drama

@AndySlater: SLATER SCOOP: Odell Beckham Jr. was kicked off a plane in Miami on Sunday.

Flight crew said the NFL WR was in and out of consciousness and wouldn’t put on his seat belt, I’m told.

The Los Angeles bound flight was delayed after Beckham refused to leave making everybody get off.

Not sure if this belongs here:
