Report: Jeff Fisher in the mix for open college football head coaching job
When both Vanderbilt and Tennessee had job openings this offseason, longtime NFL coach Jeff Fisher’s name was casually mentioned as a candidate.
It doesn’t seem there was any serious interest from either school, but Fisher is now being connected to a new job opening.
Per the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, Fisher is one of the candidates for the open Montana State job, along with Nebraska OC Matt Lubick and others:
Sources also tell 406mtsports.com that others expressing interest in the position include former Nebraska and Oregon State head coach Mike Riley, now offensive coordinator with the XFL’s Seattle Dragons; former Los Angeles Rams and Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher; and former MSU assistant Jason McEndoo, now a tight ends and running backs coach at Oklahoma State.
It seems Fisher is indeed connected to the job, as he tweeted a picture of Bozeman from an airplane:
