So as Titans fans...

Yo CHT, would it be wrong for me to re-hash Keith Bullock, coz frankly I'm not over that one.

 

Yeah, I was not too happy about that one either (although with the ACL injury at his age I understood the reasoning)...

How about Eddie George? I still bristle at the thought of how he was treated (although in retrospect he had no gas left in the tank I guess).

 

Are you kidding me?!?!? EG had plenty of gas in the tank. The guy is a work out hound. He is still in great shape. I saw him as a guest on "Survivor." He took hits day in and day out, never quit on his team. He was a leader in and out of the locker. He never cussed out his coach or threw his gear in the stands. Ooops, my bad

 

Haha, Mawae bothered me as well. He was still playing well enough to start in this league, and was blackballed because of his position in the players union.

Vince Young

 

See post in the "What now" thread on VY...end of my comments about him.

 

It's really an organization and leadership problem. In spite of the lack of success the past season, Bud was bringing Fisher back simply because he was going to have to pay him anyway. What does that say about the organization's commitment to excellence?

Head coach, DC, QB, etc. all are secondary to the lack of accountability within the organization. Whiffs on 1st round draft choices, losing key players to free agency and not replacing them with equivalent players, commitment to loyalty over competence in the staff, all are symptoms of an organization satisfied with mediocrity. Hence, all the 8-8 seasons.

All you have to do is look at the two organizations in the SB and copy what they are doing. Hire a coach with a plan, leadership skills, and the resources to go after the best players and coaches. The Titans have been stable, but without a commitment to excellence.

If they chose someone from within or an outsider with an insiders attitude, we can get used to watching the premier teams in the playoffs and get comfortable along with the Browns, Bengals, Jaguars, Bucs, and Texans as perennial also-rans. It has to start at the top.
