Jeff Fisher too busy bossing Twitter to coach in XFL
By the end of his time with the Los Angeles Rams, Jeff Fisher was the Internet's favorite punching bag.
But now, the former NFL head coach has turned the tables.
Fisher went on a social-media spree after shooting down a report that he was set to take over Houston's XFL team.

Then, Fisher apparently discovered the wonders of GIFs and proceeded to dunk on the sea of trolls that entered his mentions with standard digs at the coach's propensity to finish 7-9.

While Fisher isn't getting a new job, he did earn himself a host of new fans:
Just learning really. Appreciate the shout out.
