Jeff Fisher is putting the wheels in motion for a return to coaching. The former Rams and Titans head coach has begun “contacting potential staff members,” sources tell Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com.
The Rams canned Fisher in the middle of the 2016 season. The relocation to Los Angeles did not give Fisher the clean slate he was hoping for and he’s now eager to salvage his legacy, La Canfora hears.
It remains to be seen whether teams will seriously entertain Fisher. In his nearly five year run with the Rams, Fisher went just 31-45-1 with zero playoff appearances. He had better success with the Titans, though they reached the Super Bowl just once in his 17 years. All in all, Fisher owns a career 173-165-1 regular season record.
The number of potential head coaching vacancies this offseason could give Fisher a puncher’s chance, however. By our count, there could be as many as ten teams looking for a new head coach this offseason, including the Giants. Some in the football world have suggested to La Canfora that the Browns could consider someone like Fisher given their inability to recruit top candidates in the past.
Good luck
This would be too perfect if he ended up at UT. Please, for the love of god, make it happen. I hope this train wreck never ends for Vol nation.
Yes!!! Lol
Jeff Fisher in the SEC would be incredible.
Fisher is hoping to land somewhere between 7-9 interviews.
Lol
Lmao
This guy has been robbing others of potential head coaching gigs for the past 10 years.
“…and he’s now eager to salvage his legacy”
Uhhhh what??? Legacy my ass Jeff Fisher from American Dad is more famous
Ugh, no. Stay in the free government cheese line, Fisher.
Ugh. This has Bears all over it …
Hahahahahahaha……hahahahahaha……hahahahahaha….good 1. The definition of average….on his good days.
After the horrible job he did with the rams he needs to be a coordinator or college coach before he can be an nfl head coach again
How bout a winning record at a small high school….JV of course….baby steps.
Try high school. Or the Bears, same difference
Does he think John Mara is gonna call?
If this didn’t actually make u LOL then idk what would
Coincidence that he’s putting the word out right when he first team of the season fires their coach? I think not lol. I feel bad for the fans of ant team that signs this guy if he even is able to land a job. I feel like a prick even saying such a mean thing because I’m sure he’s a great guy but he’s just not meant to be a coach in this league. I think the league has changed too much and he just doesn’t have what it takes to compete with the rest of the league anymore. Maybe the Browns would hire him? Can’t get much worse there can it? I think even the Browns could do better. I do think there will be a few coaches getting fired this year but I see them going after bigger names. One team I think that might fire its coach is the Bucs but I hear they are going hard after Gruden and he’s actually interested. I also think the Colts will fire Pagano and not sure who they are going to go after but they can do better than Fisher that’s for sure. I keep hearing rumors of Harbaugh coaching the Colts and coaching Luck again while returning to where he played. Anyone possibly see him leaving Michigan when he said hats his “dream job”? Well regardless of what happens with all these teams who might be looking for a new coach I really can’t see Fisher landing a job but then again crazy stuff happens all the time and I do think he’s still good for at least a few wins if someone does give him a chance. But seeing how the Rams turned things around since he’s been let go I just don’t see how someone would want to hire him.
There is just too much here to even start. I feel sorry for any team that gets this dinosaur as a head coach. The problem is he isn’t that old just refuses to change with the game. I would think any coach that would work under him is either desperate or getting a big promotion. I think the funniest like said above would be Tennessee. That is the only way they could make their whole hiring escapades better. Leach is still the guy I think will get the job nobody wants to stay at Wazzu very long. Back to Fisher he needs to be an assistant not a head coach. Better yet go fishing you have enough money. Move to Florida or Texas and go out and go sport fishing because you suck as a head coach.
Is this real? Who would make him a HC at this point? Especially with the way the Rams performed with a new coach this year. He had a great run with one of the toughest guys to ever play QB, and then one year with CJ2K. Other than that his teams have been bad. The game passed him by a long time ago.
Why would any team hire this guy? The success that the Rams are having under McVay is an indictment on how bad Fisher was as a coach last season. Under Fisher, Goff looked like a bust & the Rams were 1 of the worst teams in the NFL. Under McVay, Goff is having an All-Pro season, & the Rams look like Super Bowl contenders.
