Report: Jeff Fisher in the mix for open college football head coaching job
By Adam Spencer
Published:
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:
