It feels like Fisher has been tied to multiple college jobs over the years. Ever since he left the NFL, there always seem to be colleges interested in his services.
ETSU is just the latest one to be tied to his name.
Ex-NFL coach & USC alum Jeff Fisher is in mix for USC’s coaching position, source told @ActionNetworkHQ. On Monday, former USC QB Carson Palmer said candidates include Penn State’s James Franklin, Iowa State’s Matt Campbell, Cincinnati’s Luke FIckell & Steelers coach Mike Tomlin

Would Jeff Fisher be a good college coach? I have no idea. As Urban Meyer showed the entire world, coaching in the NFL and coaching in college are two very different beasts.
Fisher was a mediocre NFL coach at the end of the day and while his name could be big for recruiting, I’m not sold that he would be a dominant FCS coach.
I have deleted an earlier tweet for the sake of clarity and accuracy.

It’ll be interesting to see if Fisher lands the gig, but there’s no doubt he could bring some massive attention to ETSU if he’s hired.
