New Rams head coach Jeff Fisher is continuing to get the band back together in St. Louis.

Chuck Cecil, who worked for Fisher in Tennessee, will coach the Rams’ defensive backs this season. Cecil spent 10 seasons working for Fisher with the Titans, rising from quality control coach in 2001 to defensive coordinator in 2009 and 2010.

As a player Cecil was one of the league’s hardest hitters, and Sports Illustrated once asked if he was too vicious for the NFL. Cecil’s final season as a player was with the 1995 Houston Oilers, coached by Fisher.

Other coaches Fisher has brought with him to St. Louis include former Titans assistant Dave McGinnis and Fisher’s son Brandon.
