Former Titans head coach Jeff Fisher fires back at 7-9, 8-8 trolls

Former Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher recently welcomed a granddaughter into the world, announcing her birth via a post on social media.

Unfortunately, there were some trolls out there ready with their 7-9, 8-8 jokes to try and spoil the feel-good moment.

Of course, the joke originates from Fisher saying “I’m not (expletive) going 7-9 or 8-8 or 9-7” in an episode of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” when he was the head coach of the Rams.

But Fisher was having none of it.

Who knew Fisher had such a strong GIF game?

Putting the trolls aside, congratulations to coach Fisher.

Fisher is having a pretty awesome year so far. On top of welcoming in a new grandchild, Fisher was also notified that he’d be inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.

Fisher spent 17 seasons as the head coach of the Houston Oilers/Titans, taking the franchise to a pair of AFC Championship Game appearances and one Super Bowl berth. He later moved on to coach the Rams from 2012 to 2016.
