NASHVILLE • First and foremost for coach Jeff Fisher, it’s the middle of the preseason. He’ll be thinking about fewer penalties, more productive offense, and avoiding injuries for his Rams when they kick off at 7 p.m. Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
But surely there will be a time or two when he looks around what is now known as Nissan Stadium and remembers his long tenure with the Tennessee franchise.
He started in 1994 as a defensive coordinator for the Houston Oilers. Before the season was out he replaced Jack Pardee as head coach and retained that title for the next 16 seasons, through the franchise’s move to Tennessee in 1997 — first Memphis and then Nashville.
