Fisher, twice in Tennessee tried building around a first round-drafted QB. Steve McNair was a success, Vince Young was not. The point is though Fisher's approach was to build around a drafted, young QB rather than go the stop-gap veteran approach.

And why don't you see Fisher wanting to put in the time to draft and develop a QB in KC? He is 53 years old... 11 years younger than Romeo.

Fisher didn't want Vince Young.

What you don't realize is that Fisher sees the value in a franchise QB.

The silver lining is that Fisher swung and missed last time around.

I gotta think that if Marty were to come back to coaching, the first thing he'd do is try to get a QB. I don't see any reason to believe Fisher is any different.

These guys aren't stupid - they watch more football than we do.

No he didn't and he acted like a little kid while VY was on the team. And when the ultimatium was either Fisher or Young and the team cut Young, Fisher left anyhow. Real class act there.

I'd rep you if you weren't a stupid mult.


"mult" implies posting under multiple names. I have never done that. I've been tossed twice, and a few days ago, I got hacked and my poster name changed.

But I have never posted under two names at the same time, and would still be posting as TFG if some of the morans here weren't so touchy being outed as morans...

I would tend to think that is not the full story, because it implies VY was just a prince who did everything right on and off the field, and that wasn't the case at all...

I have very little doubt that Fisher recognizes the value of a franchise QB, and the fact is, he tried to find that guy twice, whether he wanted the one that was selected for him the second time around.

But the fact also remains that his coaching philosophy is a mirror image of Marty.

Play not to lose.

Will that change with a new team?

After 16+ years of that philosophy, I have strong doubts.

Was that Martys strategy in San Diego? Cam Cameron was pretty aggressive. If that dumbass holds onto the ball we aren't having this conversation.

I've been wanting Fisher since Vermeil left. Dude is nails. I like the fact he hasn't been getting soft sitting in an ESPN studio like those other clowns. I'd prefer an offensive coach (ala Vermeil) but he's a good cross between defense and offense. I think his teams are as balanced as Belichick's.

Balance is the key.

It only took Marty 25 years, so I guess that Fisher might get it, as well.

During Fisher's tenure as HC in Tennessee he showed he can adapt his approach, based on the strengths of his personnel.

During his initial years, the Titans were run-oriented with Eddie George as McNair developed into an NFL QB.

During the early 2000's, the Titans became more pass-oriented, especially during McNair's Co-MVP season.

When he had Vince Young (and his mediocre QB abilities) and Chris Johnson he went back to a run-oriented approach.

Steve McNair's highest number of passing attempts was 492.

Steve Bono, in his first season as the Chiefs starter, attempted 520 passes.

During a three season period... 2003, 2004 and 2005 the Titans ranked in the top 10 in passing yards, including as high as 5th in the NFL in passing offense during McNair's 2003 Co-MVP season.

What makes you think that Fisher wouldn't implement an aggressive passing offense with the Chiefs?

When McNair was in the prime of his career in Tennessee, the Titans were an aggressive passing team.

Fisher didn't want to draft Vince Young, and had very few options but to run the type of run-oriented, conservative offense the Titans ran with Young because of his limitations as a passing QB.

Fisher always used the vertical passing game. He always used trick plays, onside kicks, etc... people make fun of him for the Music City Miracle but Marty never would've attempted that play. I would never paint him as Sean Payton-aggressive, but I think all the people calling him Marty will be a little surprised when he comes back and cherry picks himself a spot with a QB.

Fisher's resume destroys Romeo's in every way possible.

Also Fisher got Tennessee to the Super Bowl in his 5th full season as HC, Romeo was fired after 4 crappy seasons in Cleveland... basically the same time-frame.

And Romeo didn't have to deal with the adversity Fisher had to contend with during his first 4 years as HC... moving from Houston to Tennessee, including multiple seasons of virtually having no home games.

We need to make a big splash in the coaching circle. This team needs leadership and direction in the player department as well as coaching. The constant roller coaster play has been because of coaching and lack of players that take on a leadership role. Or at least players that can walk a big game too and not just talk.

OK, I can let a lot of this go because you've got stats to back up your opinion, but this is just flat WRONG.

The Oilers were 70-37 in the 7 years prior to Fisher taking over - 33-15 in the 3 years directly prior - including 12-4 the season before Pardee got fired and Fisher was named interim HC.

Fisher's first 4 seasons as HC were 7-9, 8-8, 8-8, and 8-8.

Time for a little history lesson...

Fisher took over as an interim coach in the middle of a horrific season... the Houston Oilers were 1-9 at the time.

Many of the players from that 7 year run were either washed up or gone (Warren Moon).

Fisher literally had to rebuild the franchise from scratch, which included a move from Houston to Tennessee.

Aside from the brief run with Warren Moon/Jack Pardee and the "Luv Ya Blue" era under Bum Phillips, the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans were a mediocre until Fisher became HC.

There's no way to twist it, despite how much you desperately want to.

The Oilers won 9 games or more in ALL 7 of the seasons previous to Pardee's firing.

They didn't have a winning season until Fishers FIFTH year.

But to say that the Oilers were "mediocre" before Fisher is a bold-faced lie. Period.

I'd say the Oilers in Pardee's waning years were analogous to the 2003 Chiefs. How did Roaf's subsequent retirement and subsequent Green's concussion fare for us over the next 7 years? If Herm had somehow gotten us to the SB by 2009, would he be a mediocre coach then, too?

There is probably no worse organization than the current Cleveland Browns. I know they claim all the old franchise records, but that franchise is now in Baltimore. This franchise is the old Browns in name only. In the 13 seasons since they came back they've had two winning seasons, just one in the playoffs. Crennel has the only 10 win season in their history, and Romeo is the winningest coach in their new franchise history. Crennel also has 5 Super Bowl rings as a coordinator.

It's not about Fisher himself being mediocre. It's about people trying to make Fisher into some kind of savior and suggesting that he resurrected that team.

It all boils down to 2 guys - Warren Moon and Steve McNair. With Moon, they won 11, 10, and 12 games under Pardee. Moon gone and bam - 2 and 14 season, Pardee gets fired. They didn't have a winning season again until McNair's 3rd year.

It really had nothing to do with Fisher OR Pardee.

WTF are youalking about?

You may want to check Vince Youngs win loss record again.

If it weren't for him, Fisher wouldn't have as many winning seasons.

Dude stepped in his rookie year and the team turned everything around and went on a big win streak...same thing happened in his third year...team only had like 1 win and 5 or 6 losses and the owner wanted Fisher to play Young and the team started winning games again.

I'd have to check, but those may well be 2 of his 6 winning seasons, not sure if they got past 8-8 the second time, though.

If you actually look at the Titans winning streak that year it was pretty much their defense doing the heavy lifting, and the same was true in 2007.

Think of what he could have done if he played all those guys when other quarterbacks started for Tennessee.

No way Cutler goes better than 30-17 during that span.

ROFL JFC, this dumbshit refuses to comprehend basic facts.

The talent that won 9 games or more during the 7 seasons prior to Pardee's firing was washed up or gone by the time Fisher took over.

Is it really that hard to comprehend? Fisher took over team at the beginning of a massive rebuilding job.

To make matters more complicated, Fisher had to rebuild while the franchise was in a messy relocation process from Houston to Memphis and then to Nashville. This included multiple seasons of playing "home games" in empty stadiums.

The fact Fisher was able to maintain a .500 level team during this turbulent time was and still is considered a great coaching job on Fisher's part.

Do yourself a favor and review the history of the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans in the mid/late 1990's when Fisher took over.

Right now you look completely ignorant on the subject, which explains why you are getting whored in epic fashion.

And people forget how turbulent the relocation was from Houston to Tennessee. It was a multi year process that involved a stop in Memphis where local fans ignored the team.

The fact Fisher kept the team at around .500 during those times was a great coaching job.

Herm Edwards has same amount of playoff appreances as Jeff Fisher.

Actually he doesn't.

Herm has four playoff appearances as HC, 3 with the Jets and one with the Chiefs.

Fisher has 6 playoff appearances as HC (all with the Titans).

Don't let facts get in the way of you continuing to be a dumbshit.

Of course you fit the role of being a dumbshit quite well.

And people forget how turbulent the relocation was from Houston to Tennessee. It was a multi year process that involved a stop in Memphis where local fans ignored the team.

The fact Fisher kept the team at around .500 during those times was a great coaching job.

They moved to Memphis for 1997 and then after that they were in Nashville. It was not that big of a deal after the 1997 season.

Fuck no to Cowher. Fuck no to Fisher.

Reid, with McDaniels or Norv as OC and Crennel as DC

Long shot I like is David Shaw although he won't leave the college ranks this soon.

My take on Fisher is that wether or not you think he was a good HC or not after 16 years in one HC job he's done. He doesn't have anything left in the tank. So while I respected Fisher as a HC no thanks.

Yeah, you're right. :rolleyes: I would hate to have a coach who has 9 winning seasons, 2 losing seasons, and 1 season of 8-8 as the HC. Not to mention 10-9 in the play-offs with 1 Super Bowl appearance. Would be better than anything we've had in a long time.

Titans fans chiming in

Pro: There's no coach better working with the media and fans. He's a charmer with a good sense of humor. You'll get a good coaches show with him.

Con: He can talk for an hour and say nothing. You can search the term "Fisherspeak" here and get some ideas of what I mean. The man is vague. "Yancy has a hammy and he's day-to-day but we may need to shut him down for a while. He's listed as questionable to play Sunday." Usually, that meant Yancy was out 4-6 weeks.

Pro: He's a player's coach.

Con: It often meant he was loyal to a vet even if a backup was outplaying him. Fisher wants consistency over a guy who can make a play but also makes a blunder. He's big about players knowing their assignments.

Pro: He believes in much of the things the Chiefs seem to like to do now. He likes to run the football and play tough defense. It could be a good fit.

Con: Many here believe his style of play is obsolete in a pass-happy NFL. He's big about limiting mistakes so he's one to play the percentages. If the Titans are down by 3 with 2:30 remaining and it's 4th-and-three on their own 45, he'd probably punt and try to pin an opponent deep, burn his timeouts and hope to get the ball back with 1:45 left instead of going for it.

I found his offense extremely predictable at times. I believe he was big on winning the one-on-one match-ups and not being innovative. He's big on winning by making the fewest mistakes. Even when the Titans had solid seasons, the style of football was often not entertaining.

Pro: Overall, no one knows the rules of the game better. The guy probably knows more than most of the refs on the field. With a season off, he'd hopefully come back energized. A big key, IMO, is that he gets a quality offensive coordinator who he trusts to give the majority of decision-making to.

Con: Make sure the job doesn't include general manager duties. Many believe his influence in personnel his final seasons here were more than they should have been and rumor has it he was big behind drafting players such as Pacman Jones and LenDale White. As part of that, he seemed to treat them differently than other players which made things tense in the locker room.

People are making way too much out of this 6 of 17 crap.

Needing to rebuild the Titans and then have to contend with Vince Young obviously meant a few losing seasons.

Also, 8-8 wins the AFC West. :D

Please. In 2009 the Titans started out 0-6 including a 59-0 blowout, and then Fisher was forced against his will by Bud Adams to replace Kerry Collins with Vince Young, who then led the team to win 8 of the last 10. Get your head out of your ass.

Herm made the playoffs in 4 of 8 seasons. 50%

Jeff fisher has been to the playoffs 6 of 16 seasons. 38%

Is this really the argument you want to be making?

Herm inherited a playoff-caliber team built by Parcells. After comatose Al Groh's one season, Herm took Parcells' team to the playoffs and then 4 years later drove the franchise into the ground.

Fisher took over a franchise in complete shambles (1-9 at the time he took over) and built it into a Super Bowl contending team.

Comparing Fisher to Herm would be laughable in virtually any other NFL city except apparently Kansas City.

Then again this is the city with dumbshit fans who are actually advocating for a loser like Romeo to be HC, so I guess it is to be expected.

Just to make sure there is no feeling that Herm was a good coach, his win % in the regular season was .422 and he left two franchises in total disarray when he left. To compare Fisher to Herm is really a stretch. Fisher had a win % of .542 and took a team to the Super Bowl. Herm won one division crown with a 9-7 team, Fisher won 4. Herm only has 8 years as a coach because he crapped his pants wherever he went, taking teams with winning records and riding that until he killed the franchise. He had a streak where he won 2 of 14 regular season games with the Jets, and was 1-19 with the chiefs. Herm never won more than 10 regular season games in a season.

That said I don't want Fisher either, don't think he has the energy to take a team to the top anymore.

I'm not comparing him to herm. I'm commenting on your false logic above tha because fisher went to more playoffs that makes him more successful. If anything, that points to how ineffective fisher has been that he's been to the playoffs at a worse % than herm.

And for that matter.,. If you're going to discount herms playoff wins with parcels' team, then ou can't ignore the years he didn't make the playoffs with carl peterson's rejects. That's one sided.
