The Panthers will be coached by Fisher, who spent 30 years as a position coach, coordinator and head coach in the NFL, and began his coaching career in 1986 with the Philadelphia Eagles as an assistant under head coach Buddy Ryan. He became head coach of the Houston Oilers 10 games into the 1994 season and remained with the Houston/Tennessee franchise through the 2010 season.
Fisher went 142-120 in 17 years with the Oilers/Titans, with six playoff appearances, three division titles, two AFC Championship games and a trip to Super Bowl XXXIV. In 2012, he was named head coach of the St. Louis Rams, serving through Week 14 of the 2016 season, the team's first after moving back to Los Angeles.
