Two teams have contacted ex-Titans coach Fisher about jobs (Cowboys?)

At least two teams have already reached out to former Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher about head-coaching positions, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

With Jon Gruden staying in the ESPN broadcast booth, Fisher is expected to be the most in-demand coach this offseason.

The Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, San Diego Chargers, and St. Louis Rams could be possible destinations for Fisher.

Fisher has very strong ties to ownership in Dallas and New York; San Diego is the closest thing to a hometown team; and St. Louis' front office has ties to him as well, with Rams chief operating officer Kevin Demoff's father, Marv Demoff, being Fisher's longtime agent.

Fisher was coach of the Titans from 1994 to 2010, posting a 142-120 record and leading the team to six playoff appearances, including the franchise's only Super Bowl in 1999.

No way Jerry gets rid of Garrett after just 1.5 seasons, and especially not if we have a winning record regardless of if we make the playoffs or not.
I was 99% sure that Wade was a goner after that debacle to end the season in Philly following the '08 season and Jerry brought him back two more years. There's no way Garrett doesn't get at least two more season's here and I'd venture to say he'll get a minimum of 5 years, unless we just go in the tank which I don't see happening.

Lacanfora is a moron.

I have never heard this guy say anything relevant. I have no idea how he got a job on the leagues network.

They have breer who is briiliant and that tool.

The eagles would be a perfect spot for fisher though, some of his coaches are there, they have the tools to play the way he likes right away and he has coached there before.

I can see him getting contacted by SD, Jax and Philly and probably landing in Philly.

I still don't think Reid gets fired.

He is the eagles. All of his old staff and front office guys are over. If he is fired that means Joe banner starts making decisions.

People make fun of Jerry, let Joe banner become the top guy there and see how that works out.

Firing Reid means rebuilding everything, since they went crazy in free agency this year I don't think this is a time to do that,.

But if lightning strikes fisher s a perfect fit.

Sounds like a done deal to me.

Fisher in Dallas. Maybe by as soon as Monday.

 

[VA Cowboy]

They have stuck with Andy and he always seems to do at least enough to make it difficult to fire him. This year though, if they want to then they may.

I think the two teams that made contact with Fisher so far are Jax and SD. But I can see him going to Philly if they do actually make a move.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

One would think Miami would be in the mix.

 

[Cr122]

Hey, at least Fisher would know when to call a timeout.

JJ loves Fisher - absolutely loves him .
There was word Tenn held onto Fisher as not to make it easy for him to goto Dallas .
Google Fisher - Dallas coach an you'll seen a lot of articles on whether Dallas should wait out Fisher.

Fisher has shown that he cannot handle prima donnas and our team is rife with them.

Please be completely wrong.

If Jerry kept Wade all those years no way he gets rid Red this soon...

We would probably be 10-2 or 11-1 with Jeff Fisher though...

 

[NoShame]

I'd love to have Jeff Fisher as our coach...

IF we miss the playoffs a change needs to happen.

Red might have only been here as HC for 1.5 seasons but he's been apart of our past how many seasons of disappointment... He's an extension of Wade.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Huge reach here. Only because of yesterday is he even suggesting it.

JG aint getting fired for awhile, bonecrusher is right. This is Jerry's pet project.

 

[Midswat]

Agree with BC and NSimG. Garrett is here for years.

He handled Vince Young well...kept the team going with Collins when Young lost his shit...and Haynesworth has not been able to be productive for any coach but Fisher.

Please give us a coach that is not learning on the job. Hard enough to win in the NFL with coaches who are competent.

 

[Rock Slamdance]

I don't buy it. I know we are all pissed about the TO incident, and have complaints about the playcalling, but we are still in a good position to win the East and go to the playoffs. I don't think Jerry pulls this plug.

 

[carphalen5150]

Fisher is my mancrush...not going to lie...I have wanted him as our coach since Parcells left.
