How poorly would the New England Patriots have to play in order for Bill Belichick to come close to Jeff Fisher’s career win percentage as a head coach?
The answer, provided by Bleacher Report, might surprise you.
Fisher was fired by the Los Angeles Rams on Monday after four-plus mediocre to below average seasons with the organization. His record in each of the previous six seasons was either 6-10, 7-9 or 8-8 (the first two of those seasons were with the Tennessee Titans).
To the bewilderment of many people, he still kept his job despite his teams consistently failing to reach the playoffs.
Fisher has a career head coaching record of 173-165-1 for a .512 win percentage. Belichick, whose 11-2 Patriots currently lead the AFC, has a win percentage of .669 thanks to a 232-115-0 record. His Patriots have won 10 or more games in 14 straight seasons.
