Jeff Fisher's Complicated Legacy of Losing in the NFL

Is Jeff Fisher overrated? Or are the challenges he has faced in his coaching career misunderstood?

Those two questions are critical to consider now that Fisher has officially been fired, per Chris Mortensen of ESPN.com and confirmed by the Rams. In what was his 22nd season as an NFL coach, Fisher tied Dan Reeves' record for most seasons without winning a Super Bowl or NFL championship. And after Sunday's loss and Monday's firing, he has also tied Reeves' record for most career losses.

It’s worth noting that four of the top seven coaches in losses are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Tom Landry, Don Shula, George Halas and Chuck Noll).
