Former Grizzly Fisher Finds Solid Footing In Detroit

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The Detroit Lions have hired Jeff Fisher's son to assist their defensive coaching staff.

The move to add Brandon Fisher was announced Thursday.

His father coached the Tennessee Titans from 1994-2010. Lions coach Jim Schwartz worked for Fisher as Tennessee's defensive coordinator before getting his first shot to lead a team in 2009.

Brandon Fisher assisted the Titans' offensive coaching staff for part of last season. He played outside linebacker at the University of Montana from 2006-2009, earning second team all-Big Sky Conference honors as a senior.
