    I couldn't agree with you more. We had all the pieces in place for this to be a great team yet we've taken another huge leap backwards. And I'm not putting it all on Fisher, Vince hasn't played perfectly either. But I find it funny when we hear teams like Dallas be called an undisciplined team under Wade Phillips yet everyone gives Fisher a pass for our undisciplined play.

    I mean shouldn't our coach be held responsible for penalties, poor QB play, poor defensive play. I mean he is the one in charge, calling all the shots is he not.

    I'm not totally opposed to letting go of both of them but I know for sure that Coach Fisher needs to go. I saw a piece on ESPN where Dilfer said that Vince has already reached his ceiling and that he won't get any better, well I tend to think the same about Fisher. He's hit his roof too, he miraculously squeaked into the Super Bowl only to fittingly come up a yard short. That to me just about sums up Coach Fisher's profile, good coach who just isn't good enough to win the Big One.

    Why would the media now ask players about Young's future. The owner said he'll be on the team. Why ask about Fisher's future? Bud said he's be the coach. The only thing to ask is how this might impact the locker room and Young is on IR (so not in the locker room).

    No, the story won't go away, but I don't see it as being nearly the distraction a "we'll have to wait and see" might be. I disagree with many I heard on the radio today who said Bud said about the worst thing he could have yesterday.

    Does it show a lack of faith in Fisher? Maybe. But he basically said he'll be the coach next season regardless of how this season ends. He also seems to have faith both are professional enough to work it out and will.

    Has Fisher ever given Vince the respect he deserves? No.

    Does Vince Young suck? No.

    Is Vince Young childish? Yes.

    Is Fisher willing to lose games rather than give Vince a chance rather than a rookie from Florida Atlantic that has never taken a snap? Yes.

    Is our defense possibly the worst 3rd down defense in the history of the NFL? Yes.

    Is it in any way shape or form Vince Young's fault we are only 5-5 right now? No.

    Is Bud Adams crazy to think Fisher and Young can patch things up? Yes.

    Is Bud Adams too in love with Vince? Yes.

    Will we find a better QB than Vince for next season if we let him go? No.

    Can we make the playoffs with Rusty Smith at QB? Unlikely.

    Does Rusty Smith look like a 12 yr old? Yes.

    Does Rusty Smith's arm strength look really weak? Yes.

    Can our defense fix the problems they are having? Yes.

    Can we make the playoffs if they don't? No.

    Is Bud pushing Fisher out the door right now? Yes.

    Is that a bad thing? I just don't know.

    Does it suck being a Titans fan right now? YES!

    Just as a rebuttal, I can't find a video link............. but if you get a chance to watch a re-run of last nights "The Coaches Show" on NFL Network with Brian Bilick and Jim Mora, they outpoint Baylis and the Stewart Brothers arguments.

    I don't know if he's history just yet...Bud Adams still seems to love him. This offseason will be interesting, to say the least.

    Bud Adams has created an impossible dilemma for Fish or any coach who would potentially replace Fish. Vince is a big baby boy at the teet of his sugar-daddy Bud. By allowing the inmates control of the asylum you can put the kibosh on any of our favorite coaches even considering coming to TN.
    Meanwhile Vince will continue to get injured after two quarters and miss two games at a time.. Sounds like a helluva plan to me :p

    Thanks Kaoetik! This pretty much sums up EVERYTHING I've been thinking! Since I can't high-five, I just wanted to thank you for putting it so succinctly! :)

    Fisher can't help it if VY TOTALLY SUCKS and Bud Adams forces Fisher to play him. Please, lets never ever let VY take another snap for us. And yes, I felt this way before Sunday's VY freak out. He plays with ZERO passion or effort. Am I for the Titans winning games, yes...am I for that being with VY....NO.

    Is Vince Young injured? YES

    And I wouldn't exactly say Rusty's arm strength is an issue. He may not have a grasp of the system or any real 1st team practice but he can wing it sufficiently.
