Jeff Fisher’s firing by the Los Angeles Rams Monday comes after a sea of criticism, but it’s notable that Fisher’s received that kind of criticism before. That was particularly true towards the end of his stint coaching the Tennessee Titans, who went 8-8 in 2009 and 6-10 in 2010 before Fisher was fired after the season. Fox Sports Radio personality Clay Travis was on local radio in Nashville during that time period, and he told a story Monday about how Fisher reportedly said he wanted to fight him:

Travis continued with his reaction to the comment.
“First, I heard that and it was pretty incredible, Jeff Fisher’s old ass wheezing,” he said. “I hope his fighting style’s similar to his offense, in which case he’d probably trip and knock himself out. I mean, what would Jeff Fisher’s offense look like if you put it in an MMA ring? The dude standing over in the corner, getting loose, squirting a water bottle a couple of times, and then they’re like, okay, ‘Fight!’ and he would start to run into the ring, and he would trip and just knock himself out.”
So, that’s something. It would be great if Fisher can confirm or deny this at some point. If he confirms it, that’s a bout with PPV potential. In any case, it’s clear Travis is not amongst the many media personalities who were fans of Fisher back in 2012…
