Hi MannyEdge, welcome to GoTeamsGo

Nothing there except a way to buy tshirts that say FireCoachFisher.com

I build websites & stuff like that so I'd guess it took about 5 minutes for somebody to throw togther. Probably from someone on the other side of the world who's got no idea about the Titans.

So what do you think about all this mess and Coach Fisher?

[MannyEdge]

I heard on the radio, 104.5.

I think the Titans need a new era to start, especially with the franchise quarterback waiting in the reins. I think we need a fresh start. Its starts with Fisher and Reese!! That is my take.

Well I dont think having people buy those shirts and wear them would be the best idea. That will just make the team look even worse and even more of a laughing stock. I do think though that we need to fire Coach Fisher and to get a different Head Coach. I think that we need to wait for the off season to do that though. This season is pretty much shot unless we win the rest of the games do to the two big teams in out division. The odds of that with the toughness of the schedule is near to none. The best thing to do is let this season die out and go for it next year.

Well, I am gonna stay positive and support my team and Jeff Fisher!!!! Everytime I pick up the Tennessean I read negative articles, I get sick of it. Let's stay positive til the end We still have a long way to go and who knows what will happen. I think coach Fisher is doing the very best he can.

Welcome to GoTeamsGo, jefffisher#1

I'd like to share your optimism but until I see a win, I don't think I'm going to see any light at the end of this tunnel.

Look forward to chatting with you more.

Were it possible the BEST thing Titan's fans could do would be to take Bud Adams to the dog track, pin a note to his sweater, and leave him there. Then flush the front office.

How many times did McNair retool his contract to allow the team to stay under the salary cap? When it became time to pay him back, what did the front office do? Locked him out. I don't think anyone that has followed McNair's tenure at Tennessee could criticize his commitment or dedication. His reward? He's in Baltimore.

You have a backup QB that posts the most impressive stats in NFL history for any QB's first 10 starts. He resigns to a lesser contract than offered by other teams in order to remain with your team with the promise that he will be given a shot when McNair retires. Remember he has 10 starts. Then you go out and sign quite possibly one of the worst QBs to retain a starting job in recent memory because of "experience" and throw your former backup under the bus. I'd rather think I'd ask to be traded too.

Your team has a #3 draft pick. Your coaches tell you to get guy A because our offensive coordinator has coached him previously. Knows his strengths, knows his weaknesses. Knows he already knows the system. Knows he will be able to contribute sooner. Your front office absolutely loves guy B, because he has built in press. Even though he may not work well in the offensive scheme, may have a longer learning period, and provides some improvisational skills that may or may not be beneficial in the long run. In the end, the front office wins and you get the less desirable outcome as far as getting your draft pick to pay dividends in the short term.

All that goes without even mentioning the trend in recent years to trade away experience for youth (and fewer $). Fisher has had input in this but for the most part the other members of management calls the shots. Given the team's history as the Oilers and its recent trends, it appears that money will be spent for talent ONLY when the organization is trying to get something from its host city. Maybe that's not fair because they did put up a boatload o cash for Vince Young. Sorry that's so cynical and to be honest I haven't looked as closely at the operating history of other franchises. Its just that here in my home state, I get to help pay for a stadium that is 300 miles away and get little benefit from it. But that's another story. Suffice it to say that it is difficult to be behind a team that fails in fielding a competitve team in recent years or supporting an organization that gives the impression that it is neither honorable or credible. Removing Fisher only cuts off the face that everyone sees. He has proven that he can coach. Why has everyone assumed he has lost that ability. He's not the problem. He and the coaching staff are working with what they've been handed by the front office headed by the General Manager and Director of Football Operations and ol' Bud. That all appears to be tied to one individual. Here's hoping Young is able to weather the storm as well as Mcnair did in his first few seasons.

O.K. guys. Yes, Jeff Fisher has been a good coach. He's been a great coach. BUT, you don't treat a guy (i.e. Billy Volek) like crap and ride him out like that. It's wrong, period. In the Atlanta pre-season game, #7 went 14 for 22, I think, and threw for 142 yards in one half. You can say well that was just pre-season and didn't count, but it was starters vs. starters. Volek more than adequately backed-up McNair for several years. He knew his role and accepted it. Compare his 1st 10 starts to any other QB in the history of the NFL. In his 1st 10 starts, Volek threw for more yards and had more completions than any other QB in the history of the game.
Volek was promised the opportunity to start for this team this year, but coach fisher had to get some hack that couldn't even cut it in Oakland. Hey, bonehead, what were you thinkin'? You know what? So what if Volek left OTA's early? So what that he wasn't at every "required" work-out, none of your other players were at everyone of them either. Coach fisher just ditched the best QB he had. If #7 was under center the outcome would have been very different in the Jets game and the Dolphins game, and the loss to San Diego wouldn't have been nearly as embarrassing (who knows, he might have won that one for us, too). But, the bottom line is that the Titans should be 2-1 now, not 0-3. Thanks, fisher.

What everybody needs to remember is that the Titans/Oilers have never been any good. They have one of the worst overall records in the NFL. The problem is not Jeff Fisher, it's Bud Adams and Floyd Reese. Bud has always paid top dollar for sorry-ass players like Warren Moon etc. and the really good players like Jevon Kearse etc. have to go to other teams to get paid fairly. That is why they chose Vince Young, Bud did not want to pay the big bucks for a good quarterback.

Welcome to GoTeamsGo, dalezelle.

Funny you should mention Warren Moon. We were just talking about him over here:
http://www.goteamsgo.com/forum/tenne...ren-moons.html

Looks like alot of people think Warren Moon was pretty good.

Look forward to chatting more with you.

Welcome to the forum, dalezelle, and thanks for joining us. You know, this may be the first time in my life I've heard a Hall of Famer referred to as a "sorry-ass player". Moon was an excellent QB - 4th most prolific passer in NFL history, and until recently, the #1 QB in terms of yardage in professional football history. Granted, the Titans haven't done a great job in the cap era, but they had some good teams and good players in the past.

Some food for thought for Titans fans who want to fire Jeff Fisher:

• He is the franchise's all time winningest coach.
• He ranks fifth among all coaches with 65 wins since 1999.
• He is one of just 34 coaches to ever win 100 games.
• He was the fourth youngest coach since 1960 to win 90 regular season games.
• He has reached the playoffs in four of the last seven seasons, winning two division titles, reaching the conference championship twice and claiming an AFC championship in that time.
• He also was just the fifth coach ever to take a team to back-to-back 13 win season.

Doesn't Fisher deserve at least one more year with a resume like that?

I think they meant "sorry ass player" as in he is jsut another Dan Marino that never could win the big one...
