Report: Jeff Fisher Flew Back to Denver After Leaving St. Louis Today

According to Armondo Saluguero of the Miami Herald as reported here, Jeff Fisher flew to Denver on Soutwest Airlines after leaving Rams Park in Earth City, Missouri after touring the facility and meeting with Sam Bradford.  

It is quite possible that Fisher was traveling to the Mile High City to meet again with St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke. The two met there to interview last week. Fisher reportedly came away from that meeting impressed.

A report from cbssports.com earlier today suggested that Fisher is 95 percent certain that he will take over as head coach of the St. Louis Rams. If so, he would be the eighth head coach in St. Louis since the franchise moved to the Gateway City in 1995.

Of course, it is possible that he is heading there for a winter ski trip, or perhaps to congratulate Tim Tebow on the Denver Broncos playoff win.  Or, quite simply, to connect to another flight on his way home.  

However, all dots connect to a second meeting with Kroenke in Denver.  

It is of the opinion of Jay Glazer that Fisher will likely be named the Rams next head coach within 48 hours.
