The Titans fans I know here in Nashville appreciate what Jeff Fisher did for the team. And, while they’re sad to see him go, they also recognize that making a clean break now probably makes more sense than a holding pattern situation for a lame duck season.

It will be interesting to see what minority candidate (or candidates) the Titans interview for the job.

It was time for Fisher to go. The team stagnated. They didn’t get substantially better or worse. They just hovered around the same record. I guess the team was making money for Adams since it took 16 years of mediocrity to make a move. Get ready Titans fans for more of the same. Need to change that front office and owner for anything different to happen.

Granted there are only 32 of these jobs but this is not an attractive spot all of a sudden.

any chance Schottenheimer gets interviewed? PLEASE say yes.

He should count as a minority… oh wait, morons are the majority, my mistake.

Brad Childress got a bum deal from the Vikings. He’s a genius.

Bud was torn between offering Vince Young as bait or cutting Fish.

Gruden?! No, I’m thinking more along the lines of Cowher… Defense would have to transition a lot, but the offense is almost perfect for him – just needs to groom a QB. How perfect is that?!

Lets face it, the guy was a mediocre coach who survived because he coached in a small market with very little pressure…in comparison to his peers. Bud Adams made the right decision in seperating, hes just fives years too late.

Jeff Fisher handled his time with the Tennessee Titans with professionalism and class. He took a franchise that had fallen, thanks to an unhealthy relationship between owner and city, on hard times in empty stadiums in Houston through two “homeless” seasons in Memphis and Vanderbilt Stadium, and developed a franchise that became respected around the league for a decade.

The organization may have underacheived a couple of times during his tenure, but Nashville and Titans fans all over became used to winning thanks to the success the Titans achieved, not every year, but most, under Fisher’s leadership. It’s going to be a strange sight without the mustache on the sidelines.

Thanks Jeff.

They will bounce back quickly. Good luck, Fish. Stay away V.Y.

Going to be tough replacing a coach who had six winning seasons in 16 years. Oops, was going to give him slack for his partial year and not count it but if he’s saying 17 years, then heck, it’s going to be tough replacing a coach who had six winning seasons in 17 years.

What? No crucifiction for being less than honest? If it were Andy Reid that let Fish go we wouldn’t hear the end of how he just can’t be trusted…

“Current Players”. Let it go dude.

I’m a Titans fan again. This should’ve happened after last season.

Why do I have the feeling that somehow/someway Jeff Fisher will end up in Chicago within the next year?

Rich Rodriguez and Vince Young? Okay, probably not.

In many ways this is a sad one. Jeff Fisher isn’t a bad guy. Nor is he a great coach. He is a good guy and good coach. The job obviously got totally away from this guy over the past 2-4 years. And he unfortunately focused all of his frustrations on a sensitive, insecure but extremely talented young QB like Vince Young. Just think where Fisher, Young and the Titans would be today if Fisher had thrown all of his support and belief behind Young. And built his confidence instead of ripping it apart. I believe Vince would have gone through walls fo him. Just like he did for Mack Brown at Texas. But Fisher always wanted the less talented Matt Leinart. Who knows?! Maybe he laid aYoung for Leinart deal on the table before Bud, the team and coaches said it’s over. Maybe that is where the “consensus” actually fell apart. In other words, over who replaces VY at QB.

My theory is that coach Fisher’s days as the Titans head coach were numbered after “Woody” phoned into Nashville radio “104.5 The Zone” and blasted him.

Chicago will move quickly to fire Lovie and hire Fisher. Coach Fisher woulda been like, “Tape it up and get back out there Cutler!”
