That's perspective/context right there.


It just goes to show you what spin can do to perception.


"Jeff Fisher has the most losses."

Yeah, okay.


Shula 4th most losses.

Coughlin 5th most losses.

They suck.


Oh wait....


*Not saying I'd want the Jgas to hire Fisher. No.*


But, this perception that he is absolutely terrible (because he has the most losses) is a falsehood. Fisher is 11th for most wins.


He's also had DREADFUL QBs a vast majority of his time with STL and LA. DREADFUL.

It kinda SEEMS to give perspective, but by trading one total (most losses) for another (11th in wins) you still leave out the real variable that effects context: coaching for 22 years. Not a lot of people have the opportunity or desire to be a head coach for 2 decades.


I just did a bit of research to try to really find context, this was the most telling stat I came out of it with:


There have been 98 coaches in NFL history with 50 or more wins. Of those 98, where does Fisher's win% fall?



72nd of 98.


And regardless I despise him so I'm biased, but I think that stat is a decent enough one to defend my opposition to him.
