INDIANAPOLIS -- Jeff Fisher won't likely be coaching in the NFL next season, but he will remain high profile.

Fisher, who parted ways with the Tennessee Titans shortly after the 2010 NFL season, has been asked by the league to assist the prestigious Competition Committee as a consultant. Fisher told Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean he had accepted the offer.

Fisher had served as the committee's co-chairman with Falcons president Rich McKay.

"I wanted to have an opportunity to stay involved," Fisher said Sunday. "I am very close with all the members on the committee and the support staff. You can imagine the time we've spent together over the years, it's almost been like a second job. To be able to continue to participate, it is exciting to me."

Fisher hadn't attended meetings with the committee at the combine, but he told Wyatt he will join the committee as a non-voting member for meetings in Florida next month.
