Muchack top choice for Penn State task force

We just need Bud Adams to go away. That man is just as looney as they come.

 

Sadly, I agree. I do wish he could enjoy at at least ONE Lombardi for his long tenure of league participation but it is about being the best team, not the longest tenure. I think his strictly business approach hindered his chances throughout his career as an owner.

 

If Fisher wanted to be Head Coach of the Tennessee Titans for the 2011 season he could have been. He quit, he wasn't fired.

 

Thank our lucky stars he did quit.The game passed him by and he was holding our team back with his archaic ways.I appreciate him but he should've just left after the failed 8-8 season in 2009 coming off a 13-3 year in 2008.He said in '09 he had the best roster yet but it didn't translate to wins.By 2010 you could tell he was tired,worn down and burnt out.He was a good coach but somewhere down the line it passed him by and things weren't working anymore.I think in 2010 he also lost the team and the locker room especially after his silly feud with Vince.

 

What bugs me the most is that he re-signed Chuck Cecil for 2011.

 

That move right there proved Fisher was clueless.

 

Later on Thursday, the Titans released an offical statement: "We will be forever appreciative of Jeff Fisher's leadership and accomplishments through his time with our franchise. We reached some of our greatest heights and experienced some unforgettable moments during his tenure.
"After the season was complete, we had numerous discussions on the direction of the team and were pleased that we were moving forward with Jeff at the helm. Since that time, it became evident that consensus was increasingly hard to find and reality wasn't matching the vision we discussed. It is unfortunate that this decision is coming at this juncture, but we believe that we have reached the point where change is in the best interest of both parties.
"We will start the head coaching search tomorrow. We expect to talk to a broad and diverse group of candidates. We are confident the coaching pool still has a number of quality candidates that can lead our football team."
The Titans also included a statement from Fisher, which read: "I want to thank Mr. Adams and the organization for a special 17 years. I can't thank the fans enough for the support they showed us through the years; it has been a tremendous experience. We all did our very best and I think I can look back with fond memories and be very proud of what we accomplished. I want to wish the organization, the current players and the fans nothing but the best in the future."
The team scheduled a news conference for Friday with Fisher expected to attend to discuss the first coaching change since the franchise relocated to Tennessee from Houston in 1997. One of the leading candidates to replace Fisher is Mike Munchak, the Titans offensive line coach. The Hall of Famer is a favorite of Adams.

Sounds like Fisher drew a line in the sand and Bud told him where to put it.

 

He was forced to resign.

Basically means he was fired politely.

So no, regardless of what he wanted- he was done. Leaving was the only choice he had.

 

After we backed him 2 weeks earlier. Doubt it.

 

Backed him? By doing what? It's not as if we wanted the guy dead. He sucked, and so was fired for it... far too late, but still.

Check the article a few posts up. It was clear Fisher was shown the door and everyone knew he was done before it happened...
