With the news of the NFL adding a week on to their season, this means former NFL coach Jeff Fisher might be back in play for teams. At least that what fans were (jokingly) hinting at. Fisher was known for being incredibly mediocre every single year he was an NFL head coach. With another week, Jeff Fisher would no longer be able to go 8-8.

Twitter had all the Jeff Fisher jokes after the news.

Some NFL team needs to hire Jeff Fisher, so we can all watch him find a way to finish 8-8-1 https://t.co/hE96ui6MFC

Would Jeff Fisher go 9-8 or 8-9? https://t.co/XwxK8flRtR

With the new 17 game regular season, no NFL team will be able to finish 7-9, 8-8, or 9-7.

Y'all didn't have to do Jeff Fisher like this, that man has been out of the league and is just minding his own business… 😂

I guess Jeff Fisher can always go 8-8-1.

That seals Jeff Fisher's fate for returning.

It is now impossible to go 7-9 in the NFL. https://t.co/mDdzuHDFmN

Jeff Fisher needs a job so he can go 8-8-1 https://t.co/pFFJz26xzo

I need Jeff fisher to come out of retirement just to see if he can pull off an 8-8-1 record

The world needs to see Jeff Fisher face off against a 17-game schedule.

Poor Jeff Fisher.

The man is probably enjoying his retirement life, doing some hunting, maybe some fishing, and if he ever makes the mistake to log onto the internet he will just see a plethora of jokes and memes directed at him.

Unfortunately, I don’t think any NFL team will be calling Jeff Fisher’s phone anytime soon. We’ll just have to continue to speculate what Fisher’s record might have been if he only had one more game each season he was a coach.
