When Jeff Fisher parted ways with the Titans, he looked like a guy that could use a considerable break from coaching. He’s going to get that break in 2011 without hitting the airwaves.
ESPN.com’s Paul Kuharusky passes along word that Fisher will not work in television this year. Instead, Fisher will work in some capacity with the NFL and look to get back into coaching in 2012. Fisher made those comments to Hope Hines of WTVF in Nashville as part of an interview that will be aired Sunday night.
It’s a little unclear what he would do with the league. The league says Fisher could assist on some projects, according to Kuharsky. Fisher mentioned being involved with the competition committee. (It was announced previously he would be a consultant for he competition committee.)
Perhaps the most significant item above is that Fisher plans to get right back into coaching. That would be a similar route to the one Mike Shanahan took rather than Bill Cowher’s extended absence from the sidelines.
