Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt Talks About Fischer at Super Bowl Press Conference

At last year’s Super Bowl Arrival Press Conference a Yahoo Sports reporter asked Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt about the impact of adding Brett Fischer to the Training/Medical team:

“You made some changes on your training staff before this season, you brought in Brett Fischer. Can you talk about why you made those moves and what did your daughter say about Brett that sort of sold you on using him?”

Ken Whisenhunt’s reply:

“Well, Brett Fischer came to us this year to help us with some of the rehab aspects of what we’ve been trying to do. There’s nothing more important than getting your football players on the field to play games, and that’s one of the greatest things that we’ve done this year. We haven’t had a number of injuries; a lot of that goes to John Lott and our strength staff, it goes to Tom Reed and obviously our training staff, but Brett’s been a great addition to that. Obviously I’ve had a history with Brett because both my daughter and my wife had gone to him for rehab, and they’ve been in this business with me for a number of years so they had an idea of how good he was, so we were very fortunate to get Brett with us and he’s done a tremendous job for us.”
