Gregg Williams, the new defensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams, isn’t the only coach on staff who will be working with his son.

Blake Williams will be on the staff and head coach Jeff Fisher will also have his son on the staff. Brandon Fisher is leaving the Detroit Lions to join his father in St. Louis, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press.

Brandon Fisher spent one season as a defensive assistant on Jim Schwartz’s staff. Schwartz and Jeff Fisher have a close relationship and have worked together previously in Tennessee. It’s not known what role Brandon Fisher will have with the Rams.

Brandon Fisher proved to be a breaking point for Jeff Fisher with the Titans. When he tried to hire him, Titans owner Bud Adams objected because of a nepotism policy. So, Schwartz brought Brandon Fisher on board in Tennessee.
