Jeff Fisher: Former Titans Coach Torn Between Dolphins and Rams

There's a reason Jeff Fisher is taking a long time to decide whether or not he wants to coach the Miami Dolphins or the St. Louis Rams. 

It's because he seriously doesn't know what he wants to do.

We know this thanks to Jay Glazer of FoxSports.com:

Glazer noted in a subsequent tweet that the Dolphins thought they were "out of it" over the weekend and the Rams thought they had Fisher in the bag.

Last week, the former Tennessee Titans head coach told ESPN's Adam Schefter (per Pro Football Talk) that his decision was going to come sometime this week. Don Banks of SI.com wrote on Wednesday that a decision was expected to come as soon as Wednesday night.

Wednesday night is, for now, still a legit possibility. But obviously, Fisher has to make up his mind first.

Put yourself in Fisher's shoes, and it's actually easy to see why he would be torn. The Dolphins job represents an opportunity to restore a once-proud franchise to its former glory, and the Rams job allows him the opportunity to take over a team centered around a potential superstar quarterback in Sam Bradford.

At the same time, Fisher has to know as well as anyone that both teams need a lot of work. The question, I presume, is which team he thinks is worth the effort.

One thing we know for sure is that Fisher is going to be handsomely compensated no matter which team he chooses. As Albert Breer of the NFL Network put it, there are some "crazy numbers" floating around out there attached to Fisher's name.

Of course, there are also some bold comparisons out there as well. Some people are already starting to go so far as to call Fisher the new Brett Favre. That's just what we need.

No matter when it comes, a decision is coming, folks. Fisher may be torn, but he's not about to walk away from this process empty-handed.
