SHOCK!! Nice payday might I add but a shame to break a 16 year run.
Jeff Fisher Leaves Mutually With $8 Million
Titans head coach, Jeff Fisher, is leaving and it won’t the be the door that hits him in the butt, it will be $8 million dollars. Not a bad way to leave.
On January 7, Titans owner Bud Adams made a statement saying that he was keeping Fisher, even after a blowout between him and quarterback Vince Young.
The statement from January 7 was this, “I have informed our senior management that Jeff Fisher will be our head coach next season. The results of his leadership have been some very good football teams and I believe he will get us back to an elite level.”
Adams had told Fisher and Young that they needed to get along, that was back in November. In January, Adams finally let Young go and kept the head coach instead.
Now Fisher and the Titan’s franchise have come to a mutual decision to part ways. Fisher will get most of what is left of his contract, which is $8 million. He had just one year left.
Fisher has been with the team, originally the Oilers, but moved to Tennessee in 1997, for 16 years. That is the longest tenure held by a head coach in the NFL.
With Fisher leaving there is now an opening in the NFL for a head coach, and it’s the only opening.

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.
