Jeff Fisher says he is not interested in Southern Cal job, saying he made a commitment to Stan Kroenke when he took Rams job in 2012.
— Jim Thomas (@jthom1) October 20, 2015 Fisher, who is in his fourth season as head coach in St. Louis, played defensive back for the Trojans in the late 1970s. He has been mentioned as a contender in the last three USC searches, despite never having coached in the college ranks.
Even though he may not be taking over at Southern Cal, Fisher could end up coaching in the LA Coliseum should the Rams move to St. Louis.
Other NFL coaches, such as Philadelphia’s Chip Kelly and Seattle’s Pete Carroll, have been connected with the Southern Cal opening in recent weeks. The Trojans are looking to replace Steve Sarkisian, who was fired last week.
