Jeff Fisher: Former Titans Coach Spotted at Buccaneers Team Hotel in Atlanta

Adam WellsJan 1, 2012

To say that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a tumultuous 2011 season would be an understatement. All of the chaos had led to a lot of speculation about the future of head coach Raheem Morris, and that talk will get louder with Jeff Fisher being seen at the team's hotel in Atlanta. 

According to the Tampa Bay Times, Fisher is a dream candidate for the Buccaneers if they decide to make a coaching change after Sunday's regular season finale against the Atlanta Falcons.

Fisher is believed to top the Bucs' wish list should they decide to dismiss Morris after today's season finale against the Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome. Call it a coincidence of convenience. It turns out Fisher's son, Trent, is a walk-on safety for Auburn, which defeated Virginia in the Chick-fil-A Bowl Saturday night. 

It wouldn't be hard for the Bucs' to anticipate Fisher's whereabouts. With former Steelers coach Bill Cowher all but ruling out a return to the sidelines in 2012, Fisher is considered the prime candidate for nearly every anticipated head coaching vacancy, including San Diego, Jacksonville, Kansas City and Miami.

Fisher would certainly bring instant credibility with him thanks to 16 seasons coaching the Houston Oilers/Tennesee Titans. He made six playoff appearances with the franchise, including a trip to the Super Bowl in 1999. 

Considering where the Buccaneers are at right now, Fisher would be the perfect choice for this team. We don't know exactly what, if anything, happened between him and the team at the hotel, so all of this is still speculation right now. 

But this team needs some kind of a change, and Fisher has the kind of mentality to get them back to where they were in 2010. 

He has had success with young teams, and has a way of motivating players that few coaches in the league can do right now. 

Fisher may or may not be looking to get a job with an NFL team right now, but the Buccaneers would be wise to at least call him to see what it would take to convince him to lead this team.
