A Parting of Ways in Tennessee

Don't give up hope yet perspective coaches that want a head coaching gig in the NFL. A late decision has been made within the Tennessee Titans organization. The Titans and Jeff Fisher have decided "to part ways" after 16 years together. Fisher has done so much for that franchise and even got them to a Super Bowl just over ten years ago. They've had some good years and some bad years but Fisher seemed to always be able to present a worthy team of a playoff run year after year. Fisher was the longest tenured head coach in the league going back to 1994 when the team was still known as the Houston Oilers.

Fisher will likely take a media job for the next year and then sign with a team next season. As for the Titans themselves, I'm not sure who they will get. Jon Gruden and Bill Cowher seem comfy where they are so they're out. Maybe Tom Cable is a possibility? It seems likely it will be someone looking for their first head coaching job.

P.S. Bud Adams right now reminds me of a parent who is mad at both of his kids for fighting and then punishes them both. Wait... will Bud now consider keeping Vince Young?
