Two teams have contacted ex-Titans coach Fisher about jobs

Published: Dec 05, 2011 at 05:55 AM

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

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, being the coach'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 trip in 1999.
