He served as coach of the Los Angeles Aztecs and the San Jose Earthquakes of the North American Soccer League in the 1970s.

[2][3] He would travel to Europe again in 1968 as an assistant for the American International Sports Exchange, a program which sponsored young athletes on European tours.

[1] During these early years, Fisher coached at Stroudsburg High School in Pennsylvania, as well as in youth leagues in Oneonta and parts of southern California.

[4][1] In 1973, he was hired to join the coaching staff of the Bruins men's soccer team at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

[6] While working at UCLA, he also took on a role as director of youth development for the Los Angeles Aztecs of the North American Soccer League (NASL).

[15][16] On October 2, 1979, Fisher was hired as head coach of the Detroit Lightning ahead of their inaugural 1979–80 season in the Major Indoor Soccer League.

[19][20] After owner Jerry Perenchio sustained a $1.1 million loss from the first season, he dissolved the club and sold its franchise rights to the newly formed San Francisco Fog, which hired Johnny Moore as its head coach.

Due to the club's instability (which would ultimately result in their folding after the 1980 season), he left to join the Calgary Boomers as an assistant coach in late 1980.

[23] In early 1989, Fisher was named general manager of the newly formed San Francisco Bay Blackhawks, a semi-professional team in the Western Soccer League (WSL).

[27] From 1995 to 1996, Fisher worked as sponsorship director for the San Jose Clash of newly established Major League Soccer.

[27] In January 1997, the Albuquerque Geckos were announced as a new franchise to play in the USISL D-3 Pro League, with Fisher serving as part-owner and general manager.

[28][29] The team had a successful first year on the pitch, winning their conference and the league playoffs, but struggled to garner fans, bringing in an average attendance of 1,200.
