Vudu Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Bud Adams chooses Jeff Fisher over Vince Young Posted by Michael David Smith on January 5, 2011, 6:46 PM EST Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams has finally come to the realization that his coach, Jeff Fisher, and his quarterback, Vince Young, simply can’t coexist. And in a surprisingly sensible decision, Adams has decided to go with Fisher. Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports that Adams has made the decision that the team is moving on without Young, and he won’t be on the roster in 2011. Sources tell Wyatt the Titans plan to either release or trade Young. Considering that Young is due a $4.25 million roster bonus on March 10, a release seems a lot more likely than a trade. Although the Titans haven’t officially announced that Fisher will be back to coach the Titans in 2011, all indications are that he will — and the Titans will be on the market for a new quarterback, one who can play for Fisher. And Young will be looking for work. UPDATE: The Titans released the following statement from Adams: “As you are aware, we have been engaged in a series of internal discussions over the last month about the future of our football team. We have two critical decisions to make – the direction of the coaching staff and the future at the quarterback position. They are separate issues to me and will be dealt with separately. Today, I informed our general manager Mike Reinfeldt to move forward with plans to begin the process of identifying the next quarterback for our franchise. He will inform Vince Young’s agent that Vince will not be on our roster next season. I want to offer my personal thanks to Vince for all of his positive contributions to the club. These kinds of decisions are never easy and this is especially true for this particular player. I certainly wish that things would have worked out better, but I think it is best for the franchise that we move on at this point. I also informed Jeff (Fisher) today that I was continuing the evaluation of the coaching staff and I am hoping to make a decision soon.” Think he'll end up in Miami?

SenorGato Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Good for them, though that means they're out of the Schotty running of course. Oakland for Vince Young? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 All these years later, Jeff Fisher is left pining for the glory of Matt Leinart to shine down on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 ^^ Maybe he sneaks in on McNabb this offseason. Then again, they're as conservative as it gets in this league so maybe not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenranger Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I think Miami is douchey enough to look at him and he's douchey enough to still like that dump.

4HCrew Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 This was a no-brainer move by the Titans...Young continues to be immature and lack leadership which is never a good thing for a qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack48 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 they should get rid of both of them. Fisher has outlived his usefulness there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
