Jeff Fisher is out as the Titans head coach; with a 16 year tenure, the longest in current NFL history. Gone, after a late-January surprise 'firing' by mutual agreement, or so it seems: a mutual agreement. Eight million dollars of Bud Adam's walking-around money to not coach the Titans in 2011.
Bud Adams remains as Titans' owner, unfortunately.
Hmmmph. If the Titans win three games in the next two seasons, I'll be amazed. We're sitting here, fat, dumb and unhappy, with no head coach, no starting QB (at least the Titans' Front Office has decided NOT to bring back the brain-damaged Vince Young) and a seemingly demoralized fan base. Mike Munchak, the OL coach, is spoken of as the front-runner; but I hear tantalizing rumors that Jon Gruden might be considered. That would be my choice; I like Gruden.
I expect Fish to sit out the 2011 season, take a break, maybe do some fishing with Brett Favre. Then, if there is actually a 2011 season, next January there will again be many head coach firings and vacancies; Jeff Fisher will be the top-listed favorite replacement by many teams. Redskins' owner Daniel Snyder would open his deep pockets; as would Dallas' Jerry Jones. There might be a duel between those two to get first bids.
Or, if the Chargers move to Los Angeles, Fisher would be a natural to take that coaching position. That would put him close to home, to USC, his old stomping grounds.
In any event, we'll keep track of Jeff Fisher.
As for the Titans, it's cellar-dweller time in the AFC South.
