Former Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher is reportedly one of the names being considered for the head-coaching position at USC.
According to Brett McMurphy of The Action Network, Fisher is in the mix for the role at his alma mater.
The 63-year-old former head coach hasn’t been on the sideline since 2016, his last season with the Los Angeles Rams. He is currently serving in an advisory role at Tennessee State, where his former player, running back Eddie George, is the head coach, and his son, Brandon, is the defensive coordinator.
Fisher spent 17 seasons as the head coach of the Oilers/Titans, amassing a franchise-record 142 regular-season wins. He also took the franchise to its only Super Bowl appearance during the 1999 season.

Fisher is set to be honored by the Titans in their Ring of Honor at some point this season.
Fisher expressed his desire to return to the sideline earlier this year when asked if he’d have any interest in the University of Tennessee job.
“If for some reason Coach Pruitt is no longer the head coach at the University of Tennessee, yes I would have a great deal of interest in that program,” Fisher said.
Tennessee would go on to fire Jeremy Pruitt and hire Josh Heupel.
