Former Titans head coach Jeff Fisher takes step toward Hall of Fame

On the same day that former Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams was announced as one of the 25 candidates in the Contributor category for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, another former Titan was greeted with similar news. 

Former Titans head coach Jeff Fisher is one of the 12 men taking the next step toward election in the Coach category of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the class of 2025. 

The Hall of Fames’ Coach Blue-Ribbon Committee narrowed its list to Fisher, Bill Arnsparger, Tom Coughlin, Alex Gibbs, Mike Holmgren, Chuck Knox, Richie Petitbon, Dan Reeves, Marty Schottenheimer, George Seifert, Mike Shanahan and Clark Shaughnessy.

Fisher served as a head coach in the NFL for 22 seasons, split between the Houston Oilers, Tennessee Titans, and St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams. 

Fisher led the Titans to their only Super Bowl appearance during the 1999 season, coming up one yard short of the championship. In all, his Titans’ teams made the playoffs four consecutive seasons from 1999 to 2003.
