Man, I wish that this had happened last offseason. I would love to have Fisher as our coach.

Wow! Maybe I just don't follow football closely enough anymore, but I didn't see that one coming at all.

I think it has a lot to do with their qb issues. I don't think that Fisher wanted Young, while the owner wanted to draft him and has pushed for him to be the starter.

I agree more than I can even equate into percentages. This would've been a great hire, as opposed to the glam hire that we got.

I thought he was a good coach, helluva player's coach, but I have to say, he has not seemed to be able to turn things around over there.

I think that Jeff Fisher is a great HC but there is no way that he would have been able to handle the Snyder & Cerrato deal that we had - let's not forget that the only way that Snyder could get Shanahan to be the HC was the he had to both bring in Bruce Allen AND agree to fire Cerrato
I like Fisher but we're in a better place now mainly because we don't have dumb and dumber running things here - not saying Shanahan's staying for much longer.. BUT, we will not be going back to Snyder running things here
besides, Fisher was NOT available - so, it's really a mute point
I'm sure Jeff Fisher will take a year off and then, who knows

So with Fisher gone does Vince Young stay with the Titans? This could have an impact on the Draft.

How could anyone choosing between Fischer and Young go for Young?!

I agree FFA - I think that the Titans are going ahead without Young - he's not really shown to be a reliable or very good a starting QB

I think this officially moves Snyder out of any contention for stupidest owner in the league.

Coworker is from Tenn.. she said the whole city was fedup with Fischer as a whole. Also, they are getting rid of Vince too, its not like they chose between one or the other. They will try to trade him but he has like $4Mil left with him that nobody will want so he'll become a free agent and they won't resign him.
