Wow. Thought Bud Adams would always protect Fragile Vince.

BYH calling me and Bud Adams racist in 3, 2, 1.....
 
Finally the Titans got smart. It'll be interesting to see who takes a chance on Young. Better have a pretty reliable backup. Vince is anything but consistent.

Glad he chose Fisher over Young.
I was told Adams' Christmas card was he, Young and Chris Johnson in santa hats.
 
Be kinda funny if he ****canned the both of 'em.

hey, good for bud. everyone was under the impression he was a young guy all the way, but after speaking with the entire coaching staff and i'd imagine a few players, he came to the conclusion that young is a long way from being salvagable. whether fisher stays or not.

i gotta say i've gained more respect for bud here...
 
Someone roll off the tarp in Jacksonville so I can kick back and watch this puppy unfold.
 
Vince Young was 30-18 as a starter.

Jeff Fisher has a career record of 142-120.

I'd say the wrong guy's getting the boot. Perhaps in any other season, they'd both be gone this week. But given the labor situation, it seems teams are a little slow in pulling the trigger, so Fisher will most likely be back.
 
I'm really surprised Young's biggest supporter gave him the boot, but given Young's antics, it's probably the right decision.

It's pretty clear, given the last couple of years, that the Titans won in spite of Young. It says a lot that Fisher, on what many considered to be the hot seat, was willing to suffer through a lost half a season with Rusty Smith and a 345-year-old Kerry Collins instead of putting up with another second of VY's bull****. And perhaps I missed it, but if VY was so important to the team and so respected, where's the outrage from his teammates?

I'm in agreement. The fact that Vince Young had a 30-18 record as a starter speaks more to how good a coach Fisher is rather than how good a quarterback Young is. Lot of 17-13 games in there were all Young had to do was not screw up a lot rather than make plays.

Chances he'll end up with my beloved Redskins? We can get him for a fifth rounder right about now

Oh please. Hell ****ing no.
 
Bring him to New Orleans. I think the experience backing up Drew Brees along with coach Payton's knowledge would go a long way in helping him reach his potential.

Agreed. No way the Redskins should give up a fifth round pick for him.

They'll probably give up a second-rounder.

I think Piotr's right; Al Davis won't be able to resist.
I thought Jason Campbell did a good enough job this year.
 
The Raiders were vastly improved, so firing the coach and bringing in a troubled QB makes perfect sense.
