While I would hardly call Jeff Fisher a football icon, he is something of an anomaly in the football space continuum.
Fisher has never coached a championship team. In a 20-plus-year NFL career, he’s .500 in the playoffs as a coach. Yet, we love the guy. Everything he seems to do is funny — perhaps unintentionally funny — but funny nonetheless.
Think about it. How many coaches could lean into a meme that essentially makes fun of how mediocre your teams are? Fisher almost seemed to take pride in “7-9” year after year. That takes some thick skin, blissful ignorance, or a combination of the two.
