You're close. Just looked it up. Fisher's first year was half a season. So while it was in fact his sixth season as the head coach, it was in his fifth full season that he made the playoffs.

Addendum: in other words SmootSmack, you were right.

Never cared for Norv as a head coach, but I'm sure the Niners are missing him right about now. Condolences to the Nolan family for their loss, and I understand it's been a frustrating season health-wise for Frank Gore.

But damn, they look awful. Just awful. This after so many pundits had them as the "Saints of 2007"

Gibbish: The act of tightening one's game strategy to the point of strangulation.

I thought Gibbish meant, "The act of building three Super Bowl winning teams with three different starting QBs." Well, I guess I must have heard it wrong.
