Top 25 NFL mustaches of all time
By John Buhler
13. Jeff Fisher
As he is with his emotional support animal dog, also named Jeff Fisher, former Houston/Tennessee Oilers/Tennessee Titans and St. Louis Rams/Los Angeles Rams head coach Jeff Fisher needs his signature mustache to do 7-9 BS every fall.
You don’t tie Dan Reeves for most career losses as a head coach if you don’t have the mustache to back it up. Sometimes it becomes part of a goatee. Other times, Fisher kicks back and likes to let it beard out. While he tends to have other parts of his face, the ‘stache is an ever present reminder of 7-9 BS.
From when he was a blazing punt returner for USC Trojans and the Chicago Bears (no, seriously Fisher was really good at that) to the years hovering around .500 in the NFL as a head coach, that mustache of Fisher’s was the gold standard of mustaches.
It didn’t change, it was tight and it was menacingly delightful all at the same time. As Fisher would age, the ‘stache would get more than a touch of gray, but it still looked sharp as it ever was. Add in the slicked back hair and the pair of shades to match, Fisher was the NFL equivalent of Barry Melrose we didn’t know we missed until right now. We NEED Fisher on fall Sundays, stat, NFL.
The mustache. Man, that ain’t no 7-9 bulls**t.
