How do you lose both Vince Young and Jeff Fisher?

Mike Leach! (hi boom :-* )

Coach there since 1994 ... that's a freaking eternity.

Wondered that too. Looks like I'm in the market for a new favorite team! Does anyone here root for the Steelers? I should support them!!!

Banks smoked everyone on this. Nothing on NFLN so far.

Addition by subtraction, in this Titans' fan's opinion.

VY received far more blame than he deserves, while the exact opposite was true for Fisher. That said, glad to see 'em both gone. Time to rebuild.

 

[Herbert Anchovy]

I just hope they'll let him keep that ridiculous pajama top he wore for the AFL throwback games last year.

He's bound to end up somewhere quickly. I don't see Fisher as the type of guy who'll take a TV gig while he mulls his next step.

Depends what his settlement is. If the Titans are paying him a flat fee to go away, then yeah. If they are paying him X million minus whatever his next team pays him, he may go the TV route for a year and get both paydays. That's why Gruden's still sitting out, isn't it?

 

[amraeder]

Why wait this long after the end of their season to fire the guy?

 

[dixiehack]

The city of Nashville got a pair of pro sports teams in 1998, and this is its first coaching change. That's a run that will never be matched again in North America.

Jerry Jones is pissed.

Adams must have someone waiting in the wings, right?

 

[TigerVols]

Jim Schwartz, c'mon down!

My biggest question is why would this happen now rather than a few weeks ago after he met with Adams? Maybe Adams tried to convince him to keep Young, but I doubt it.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I'm guessing Fisher will take a year off, but if I'm Gary Kubiak, I'm feeling a bit uneasy.

Because Bud Adams is 105.

Still looks better than Al Davis.

I would love to see Mike Leach in the NFL. Or anywhere, really. Can't believe he isn't coaching.

If Fisher wants to work somewhere, he should get a job quickly.

Cowher to the Titans!!! :
