NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Former Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher, who led the franchise to its lone Super Bowl appearance thus far, will enter the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.

Previously announced 2020 inductees include former NBA player Tony Delk, Tennessee College Women's Sports Foundation founder Bettye Giles, former Tennessee Golf Association and Tennessee Section PGA executive director Dick Horton and former college football coach Carl Torbush.

More inductees will be announced later.

Fisher's career highlight came during the 1999 season as the Titans reached the Super Bowl, where they lost 23-16 to the St. Louis Rams. Fisher led the Titans to six playoff appearances and three division titles.
