A native of Southern California, Fisher is currently the head coach of the St. Louis Rams and was previously the head coach of the Tennessee Titans, and has a career record of 147-126 as a head coach.

Fisher was the fourth youngest NFL coach (since 1960) to reach the 50 regular season win plateau at the age of 42. Only Don Shula (37), John Madden (38) and Bill Cowher (39) had reached the 50-win mark at a younger age.

On January 27, 2011, it was formally announced that Fisher and the Titans had mutually-agreed to part ways following a buy-out of one remaining season on Fisher's contract. At more than 16 full seasons, Fisher had been the longest-tenured NFL head coach with one team among active head coaches.
