St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke wrapped up his interview with Jeff Fisher on Thursday in Denver. Even before the two finished, the rumor mill said that Fisher would be choosing between the head coaching jobs in St. Louis or with the Miami Dolphins. On Friday, Adam Schefter confirmed that. Let's take a look at what we know about the situation.
Got questions? Hit us up on Twitter @TurfShowTimes.
A complete Jeff Fisher update after the jump.
As for which team will land the biggest fish in the coaching sea right now, it's anyone's guess. Some seem to think that it will be the Rams, including Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network. Others say he's truly undecided.
One thing to keep in mind is that Miami, through a not so subtle media strategy, made it clear that no team would beat their offer in terms of salary. That's significant because Fisher was poised to make $6.5 million had he coached the Titans in 2011. He got an $8 million buyout instead.
But there's more than money factoring into Fisher's decision, as Mike Freeman at CBS reported. What else is there besides money? Freeman also cited sources who said that Kroenke and the Rams pushed hard on the fact that they have a franchise quarterback in place with Sam Bradford. They may have needed to do a hard sell on that point because Mike Silver of Yahoo reported that Fisher was hardly starstruck by Bradford.
Some have said that the Rams have an advantage because of a clean slate as far as organizational structure goes. Fisher, if he's hired relatively soon, would get some say in picking the new GM. You can imagine that Stan Kroenke also tried to sell him on his desire to win. The Rams also have a very nice cap situation in 2013, with roughly $40 million in room, and the second pick in the draft this year that might be a desired commodity for fetching more picks.
You can bet that Fisher will be one of the highest paid coaches in the league this year. As mentioned above, he was going to make $6.5 million in Tennessee. Bill Belichick, the highest paid coach in the league, makes $7.5 million a season. Mike Shanahan makes $7 million a year.
The Rams had to pay Steve Spagnuolo's remaining year of salary to get him to go away, which was between $2 and $3 million. They also had to buyout Devaney's final contract year.
Coaching changes aren't cheap.
Probably not until next week, early next week.
The Rams have yet to comply with the Rooney Rule. They can't hire Fisher, or any other coach, until they get in line with that. And that should happen over the weekend when they are expected to interview Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton.

Just have Kroenke calll up R.Morris and interview him over the phone lol that takes care of the Rooney rule hahaha
Rammon105 - January 6, 2012
The reports by Mike Silver
may be a little disconcerting. Is Sam truly a franchise QB? I have my doubts and perhaps JF and others around the league have theirs as well. If a highly coveted coach like JF are debating between a team like the Dolphins and Rams there is a high probablility that their future is directly linked to the success of Sam. Whereas, nobody can question Sam’s arm and accuracy, I have to think there are questions about his defensive reads, decision-making and his pivot ability to avoid the rush. With so many offensive linemen going down with injuries it seems as though there is constant pressure on QB’s in todays NFL. Accordingly, it appears as though NFL evaluators are placing a greater value on mobile QB’s that have strong arms rather the prototypical drop back QB’s like Sam. Clearly the year Cam Newton had has brought additional focus to these physical attributes. Clearly everyone here wants to jump all over the Rams O-Line for the incessant pressure on Sam and the number of sacks he took over the course of the games he played. But I have to think many of those sacks would not have occured if Sam were more elusive in the pocket.
I have to think if JF does choose Miami over the Rams he is making a pretty big statement that he doesn’t think Sam is the NFL QB that many in here feel that he is. As noted in Van’s article, the bounty we can attract from the 2nd pick in the draft + our cap relief in 2013 are huge reasons why an HC like JF would want to come to St. Louis.

ChrisL951 - January 6, 2012
Bradford
Is he going to be a legit QB in the NFL? I think so. His arm strength is good, his accuracy is overrated in my opinion but that may be because he is so nervous in the pocket. I think that he has some mobility. Shurmur used to have designed rollouts in his offense and Sam moved pretty well. Also, remember in 2010 when Sam threw a pick and chased a safety all the way down the field and finally caught up to him? I think that Sam is intelligent and tough but I agree that his defensive reads need improvement. A better O-line, healthy receivers, an offseason with OTA’s and a new QB coach are needed. An upgrade over SJax at RB would help Sam as well.
If Luck fell to #2, I think that it would be a no-brainer to trade Sam and draft Luck though. Luck looked pretty damn good in the Fiesta Bowl with touch and accuracy, good footspeed and he even rolled out to the left.
Mister T - January 6, 2012
Can we please stop this trading Bradford nonsense? It's not happening!
Kroenke told the press he is behind Bradford. Enough said.
m0pi1 - January 6, 2012
An upgrade over S-Jax?
Who are you hoping to get? I realize he is not what he was at 24/25 but the guy is the best offensive player on the team and still a top back. Is Ray Rice or Arian Foster coming; unless someone like that who we have zero chance at getting is coming we are not getting an upgrade. Jackson is the furthest thing from the problem on the offense; not to mention Bradford definitely has a share of the blame. I expect Bradford to pick up his play next year and hopefully raise the level of the players around him, I think we can all agree on that premise.
modano9 - January 6, 2012
There are other reports out there that Fisher loves Bradford
So take it all as a grain of salt until Fisher actually signs a contract
ChrisL951 - January 6, 2012
RG31 - I know you Sooner
Homer and that is fine. Hopefully ChrisL is right. At this stage I care more about what JF thinks about Bradford than I do what Kroenke think about Sam. Personally I like Sam but I just worry about his ability to sidestep the rush. Ankles are the most underrated part of the QB anatomy IMO.
RamTeaPartier - January 6, 2012
I care more about what Kroenke thinks
He’s the one that signs the paychecks, if he says Sam is staying then I believe it then again I would also like it if he went to a different team but that’s just me and being a big fan..

Getting rid of bradford would put a big hole in the cap, he will be a ram next season, but like KSR said as long as he is on a team with talent I don’t care.
RG31 - January 6, 2012 via mobile
+1 KSR! Now is the time in
this draft to gain some of that much needed talent.
RamTeaPartier - January 6, 2012
I don't know how good Bradford will be,
but Fisher or whoever will have the team better get used to having Sam for at least 2 years. Hopefully he’s as good as everyone hopes he will be.
Tevin Broner - January 6, 2012
but the Dolphins are more of an unknown at QB than the Rams and that gives the Rams an advantage
Brick Top - January 6, 2012
I think RTP
is probably right about the quarterback position having to evolve and be somewhat elusive, but Sam isn’t really a statue back there. If you queue up a Sam Bradford highlight reel at Oklahoma, one will notice “wow, he sure seems to roll out a lot.” I’d like to see how successful Bradford was last season when rolling out, because it seems like he was pretty good at it.
Anyway, just my two cents.
blindmouse - January 6, 2012
were they designed roll outs?
My biggest complaint about him is his lack of pocket presence, his lack of using his athletic ability and try to scramble or move around in the pocket, and him locking onto wide receivers.
Tevin Broner - January 6, 2012
what i saw early in the season
(and really that is the most telling time because sam was healthy) was the defenses knew the rams did not have receivers with speed to get open quickly so threw overload blitzes at him constantly. with guys coming from all angles very few qb’s could have used fancy footwork to avoid the rush.
no sam is plenty mobile enough when healthy and is accurate throwing on the run. he may be more accurate on the move than as a pocket passer from what i have seen.
hbwb - January 6, 2012
All I am saying is when the
pocket collapses (which is often in the NFL on pretty much every team) how good is Sam at pivoting, evading and hitting receivers when he is under duress. No, I am not expecting Tebow like evasiveness out of Sam but we will never see how could Sam can be if he can’t evade rushes better.
I agree T.Ram. That is my rub as well. I think the jury is still out on Sam in those areas. In his defense, losing Danny didn’t help.
RamTeaPartier - January 6, 2012
good not
could
RamTeaPartier - January 6, 2012
I think it's sad..
that some of the most vocal bloggers on TST are fans of the Rams only because of Sam Bradford. They are willing to follow Bradford to whatever team and seemingly become new fans of that team. Now me, being a Ram fan for nearly forty years finds this sad. I’m sure Sam is going to stay and maybe with the extra time following the Rams with Sam, you may stay a fan after he leaves.
MOOSERAM13 - January 6, 2012
+10000
Le Ram - January 6, 2012
Haha
If you’re talking about me, I’ve already said even if he did leave the rams I would stay a fan of the rams but I would still watch him wherever he went, so….
RG31 - January 6, 2012 via mobile
I’m a Rams fan because they drafted Sam, since my dad raised me a Sooner fan(even in North Carolina, you should try explaining that one its fun to see the looks on their faces) but the Rams have become my team and there are many players on the Rams I like and even if Sam wasn’t a Ram anymore…I would still like the Rams, of course I would like whatever team Sam goes to as well.
Personally think the Rams are in a great position, if they can trade the 2nd pick for draft picks it works for the best of both worlds for the Rams….. First is they can get the weapons they need, 2nd if Sam doesn’t work out(but I think he will) then you’ve built many of the other pieces of your team you need and maybe even still have a few extra draft picks to use as trade to get whoever you think is your QB of the future in the next couple years. Win win for the Rams in my opinion if the FO can pull off a good trade.

MOOSERAM13 - January 6, 2012
I think the simple truth is
Sam went from being the rookie of the year to one of the worst in the NFL. The dude still has ton of potential but he needs atleast a decent line and some good weapons. With the word that McDaniels may be leaving which mean Lloyd most likely will to, that only leaves sjax as an above average weapon. He needs help along with a qb coach.
This next season will from the tell for bradford, I think he will come out in top given the above help, he can’t do it by himself. If he does all this talk will end, if he still isn’t good well that’s up to stan.
RG31 - January 6, 2012 via mobile
All that is true
The only lie you told is he won offensive rookie of the year :) agree with everything else though
Tevin Broner - January 6, 2012
How did he not win it? lol

Last time I checked ROY is split into OROY and DROY
There is no overall ROY.

Suh did win rookie of the year and defensive rookie of the year though.

What about the new structure?
Kroenke says his personnel guy will make the decisions on the players, so that would mean that the owner will not force him to do anything. Hiring a guy and telling him you want him to have control over what players are on the roster and then forcing him to keep a quarterback is foolish.
Jim Everett - January 6, 2012
Which is what happened to Fisher in Tennessee. How fun.
RAMpage28 - January 6, 2012
well IF they get fisher and he's not satisfied with bradford and decides to trade him
then its a win, win. The Ram’s will get additional picks for Bradford and Bradford will get to soar to the top with a talented team. I am a sooner fan and I know what Bradford is capable of. Now having said that if Fisher is smart he’ll surround Bradford with weapon’s and use the 2012 season as an evaluation of Bradford cause frankly there is only one quarterback that even looks remotely like a possible franchise quarterback and that’s RG 3 in my opinion.
Freewheeler2 - January 6, 2012
So Andrew Luck doesn't even have a remote chance of being a possible franchise QB?
But analysts and the ESPN says he’s the next John Elway, Dan Marino, Peyton Manning, Jesus Machine.
RAMpage28 - January 6, 2012
I know there is a lot of hype on him but I think he has a pretty good chance of being a franchise QB.
RAMpage28 - January 6, 2012
The hype surrounding Luck is second only to Tim Tebow and I saw nothing that
impress’s me he played cup cake schools and the 2 times he didn’t his team got beat and he didn’t do anything that a typical nfl quarterback wouldn’t and I’m not talking about the franchise quarterback in the NFL either. Rg 3 on the other hand did plenty including that frustratingly beautiful pass he threw at the last second literly during the O.U. v. Baylor game.

want to consider that Luck lost his #1 receiver to a TJ McDonald head explosion this year. Seems like the 2nd half of the season he pretty much was throwing to TE’s.

But no matter who he throws to they are always wide open anyway.

Ummm Freewheeler - Not sure
you can call USC a cupcake school. Luck beat them on the road and rallied them late with his #1 receiver in the dark room. Notre Dame was favored against SC and was never quite the same after USC mahandled them.
RamTeaPartier - January 6, 2012

that he had OSU beat. Either of us could have kicked that first FG to win the game. The Ducks game was the one that he didn’t look too great in. Their speed always gives Stanford fits on both side of the ball.

YOU KNOW YOU"RE A RAM WHEN:
You drop a lateral and just stand there and watch a defender return it for a TD.

Was there a winner for the Fisher caption contest?
ramdude - January 6, 2012
Or the Kellen Clemens caption entry?
RAMpage28 - January 6, 2012
(Careful, we'll scare him away)
ramdude - January 6, 2012
I just simmed the whole 2011 season on Madden to start from this point.
Step 1 – fire Spags, hire Fisher
Step 2 – roster overhaul (Brown, Smith, Butler, Bell, etc)
Step 2.5 – franchise tag Lloyd, trade for 1st rounder
Step 3 – cheatingly acquire more draft picks
Step 4 – draft #1 WR & franchise LT
Step 5 – Super Bowl
Joe Mazzi - January 6, 2012
Step 6
Fire Justin King. Hire him back and fire him again. (I learnt that from Spags.)

ramdude - January 6, 2012

LARams1968 - January 6, 2012
FACT
Tebow is the messiah.
holtfan - January 6, 2012 via mobile
He threw a pass to a leper.
Fortunately, missed him by a mile cause it would have knocked his arm off.

Anybody heard of Ryan Grigson
He is the Eagles Director of Player Personnel and apparently the Rams have asked permission from the Eagles to interview him.
RAMpage28 - January 6, 2012
Never heard of him. JAT (just ask Tebow)
holtfan - January 6, 2012 via mobile
Comment on the article from a fan.
RAMpage28 - January 6, 2012
Grigson also (according to the report)
spent four years with the Rams as an area and national scout before joining the Eagles. He has a Super Bowl ring as a member of the Rams’ scouting staff in 1999.
RAMpage28 - January 6, 2012
According to the article not report.
RAMpage28 - January 6, 2012
Sounds yawn-worthy - I want the dude from Baltimore
The Eagles have granted director of player personnel Ryan Grigson permission to interview for the Colts and Rams general manager openings, according to an NFL source.
After four seasons as director of college scouting, Grigson was promoted into his current position in early 2010, replacing now-general manager Howie Roseman. Grigson, 39, has been with the Eagles since 2003 when he first joined the staff as a scout.
A product of Purdue, Grigson was drafted by the Bengals in the sixth round of the 1995 draft. The offensive lineman spent that season with the Detroit Lions, however. He played another season in the Canadian Football League and then retired.

The "dude" from Baltimore isn't on the market anymore.
RAMpage28 - January 6, 2012
He's on the market all right
Just needs the right opportunity and price.
We gotta take him up in the arch and not let him down til he signs.
ramdude - January 6, 2012
That would work.
RAMpage28 - January 6, 2012
He's not leaving Baltimore.
That’s not really up for debate any longer. He has declined all interview requests.
FailureDrill - January 6, 2012 via Android app
I was afraid of that.
There’s no cap on staff – Stan gotta go to the hip.
ramdude - January 6, 2012
