Jaguars vs. Titans: Why Jeff Fisher May Go From Tennessee to Jacksonville

You have to give Jacksonville Jaguars new owner Shahid Khan credit. He loves to think big and on a large scale.

While the Midwestern business tycoon stated a week ago that he wants the Jaguars to make a splash in the NFL with him as owner, he is looking to broaden the fanbase and is looking for a head coach that can bring the first-ever Super Bowl championship to northern Florida.

In just a few short weeks, Khan again has people in the sports world talking about a team that is currently 4-10 on the season and one of the unsuccessful stories of the NFL season.

But now there is hope. With the right hire at head coach, this team could be another source of conversation in 2012, but for another reason.

Curiously, one of the men being mentioned as a possible replacement for fired head coach Jack Del Rio and current interim coach Mel Tucker is someone who caused fits for this team as part of a bitter rivalry between Tennessee and Jacksonville.

Jeff Fisher hasn't been on an NFL sideline this season, but could he be the one to get the nod to lead these Jaguars to Khan's desire of a championship down the road?

According to Gregg Rosenthal of www.nflprotalk.com, Fisher has already been contacted by two teams.

Reports over the last few weeks since Del Rio was let go by the team, several other candidates have been on the radar for Jacksonville.

Fisher seems to be a good fit for this team. 

His coaching experience in the AFC South and his 146-120 career record as an NFL head coach proves he can win and not just hover around the mediocrity. Since Fisher is a defensive-minded coach, he would be able to mold this team, currently ranked in the top five overall in defense, in his own image from his days as a defensive back with the Chicago Bears and as a defensive coach under Buddy Ryan in Philadelphia.

Fisher's desire and drive are something fresh this team needs.

He was very vocal in the 1990s when he and his Tennessee Titans were the only team to beat Jacksonville two times in the 1999 season when Jacksonville went 14-2, but fell in the AFC Championship Game, 33-14.

Fisher may show up in another city when everything is said and done, but Khan should take a look at Fisher's success over 17 seasons and realize making the man who beat you year after year is the one you want leading your team, year after year.
