Correct me if I’m wrong but an AD is a fund raiser and the guy that hires coaches. Those coaches then recruit. I highly doubt any AD is out on the recruiting trail.

The One and Only
Fisher did a lot for this club, he brought us from the dark-ages to mediocrity, for that I’m thankful. Like most head coaches, he’s extremely stubborn and that was his downfall. He began the foundation for what this team
Is now, and for that I’m thankful.

If he can hire a competent spread OC I think he’s make for a great head coach. Always seemed like a players coach and very well liked which is great for college recruiting. Could see him really relating to prospects
I never thought he'd get a head coaching job again after how bad he looks with McVay's quick turnaround.
It's pretty obvious that the game has passed him by . Good luck USC . You'll need it

Yeah I've said for years I think Fisher would a lot of success in college football if he wanted to lower his expectations to stay coaching.
He probably would still be coaching the Rams if he did that in the NFL too. Thankfully, he has a problem with that and we dodged a couple more years of him.
With every Sean McVay/Rams victory and with every triumph on the field by Goff and Gurley, the possibility of Jeff Fisher getting hired anywhere for a head coaching position diminishes. The Talking Heads have been using him as a punchline in their jokes since last season. It's doubtful that those who do the hiring for NFL and college teams have missed this.
Fisher can coach defense. Although Fisher rightly earned lots of scorn for allowing the offense to collapse after being run by incompetent coaches and stocked with knucklehead players, he still did some things well. Whether he could potentially be a successful college coach, and if he has learned from the demise of the Rams' O, remain to be seen if USC gives him a shot.
He took us from the awful spags and linehan days to at least mediocrity. There is something to say about Fish as a transitional coah. He's washed up now, but I do thank him for what he did.

Rookie
You have to wonder what Fish thinks of his own talent after a rookie head coach took the team to the playoffs?
That's a good description of Fish. Not gawd-awful like Linehan and Spags, got the Rams back to a place of some respectability, and left a lot of good in the cupboards (instead of bare as a Venezuelan grocery store shelf like the previous two). Just too stubborn and backwards offensively to take the next step.
Correct my intention was that hiring Fisher or Del Rio as Head Coach by Athletic Director Lynn Swann would be a mistake, but Del Rio would be a good recruiter IMO, whereas I don't think Fisher would be. Again my list for USC Head Coach would be:
- Chris Petersen (Washington)
- John Harbaugh (If he wants a college gig)
- James Franklin (I believe he would leave Penn State for USC)
- Kyle Whittingham (Utah)

Sorry I can't take the job, USC....Air Force had a better option ~ Fish
Whittingham is the only one that's a possibility IMO. The rest are successful in colleges that currently are as big or bigger. USC has a very storied past, but it's in the past it's a school lacking in talent right now and will take some rebuilding. If you're making big money at Penn St or can get a job in the NFL why move? I think Petersen is a good candidate for the NFL.
I'd be shocked, strikes me as a college guy, but Brian Kelly Notre Dame will be in the NFL in 2019 IMO...Been at Notre Dame 9 years and this would be the perfect year to move on...Not sure where, but I'm thinking Kelly Green is a good color so the New York Jets could be his landing spot.
