Former NFL head coach Jeff Fisher has taken over as the commissioner for the Arena Football League (AFL), he confirmed in a news conference.
Fisher is part of the ownership group for the Nashville Kats, which are one of the 12 teams currently in the league. The Kats folded in 2007 but were revived for the 2024 season.
According to Main Street Clarksville, the AFL owners have been unhappy with the league’s previous commissioner, Lee Hutton. Hutton owns the Minnesota Myth, which just suspended operations.
Fisher is the president of operations for the Kats and on Tuesday, he took over as interim commissioner.
