Jeff Fisher’s extension a disgrace to Teryl Austin & other worthy coaches

Jeff Fisher was given a two-year extension as head coach of the L.A. Rams, despite a 4-8 record and not winning more than 7 games in his four years with the team. Fisher’s been in the league as a head coach for 21 seasons, but made the Postseason in just six of those seasons. That means he’s missed the Playoffs 15 times as a head coach. So why the hell is he getting a two-year extension?

Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin gets looked over while teams hire guys like Fisher, Ken Whisenhunt and Rex Ryan. It’s true Fisher, Whisenhunt and Ryan have had some success in this league.
