Report: Former Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher to take over as Interim Commissioner of the Arena Football League?
Anthony Carter of Arena Insider is reporting that the Arena Football League owners have reportedly appointed current Nashville Kats owner Jeff Fisher as the interim commissioner, in a unanimous vote.
This is expected to come out and become official tomorrow.
Fisher coached the Oilers/Titans from 1994 to 2010 and the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams from 2012 to 2016. He is currently the owner of the Nashville Kats, and the interim commissioner of the Arena Football League, with Lee Hutton III likely stepping down.
Hutton was the owner of the Minnesota Myth who suspended the teams operations today.
After playing college football at the University of Southern California, Fisher was drafted in the seventh round of the 1981 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears and played with the Bears for five seasons. He won a Super Bowl ring in 1985 while on injured reserve during his final season as a player.
Fisher is a very good coach who has an solid record.
