Yep.
Hasselbeck is his only success. Hue Jackson has destroyed him in coaching the other two QBs there were under his tutelage.

I wonder who the Titans owner has in mind. I doubt the owner would simply wait so long after the season, then fire his HC who has done fairly well up untill the last two or three seasons with out having someone in mind or having already made a deal with someone to take over.

I know he will have to go through the whole interview process but you just don't fire a HC like Fisher unless you either have major differences, can't get along, or already have a replacement ready.

Jeff Fisher says it's 'time to move on' from Titans - NFL - SI.com

I think Fisher has done a ton with mediocre talent in a division dominated by the colts.
Of course we wont really know how good he is until the next guy comes in and does worse or better...

I think he is one of the most respected Head coaches out there...I know many skins fans wanted him after gibbs and after zorn...I wouldn't have minded it either.

Funny...this guy would have been a great match in Carolina...with a team full of average players and a tight owner....he would do well here too...he just would have had to get used to the big cash register.

Best wishes to Fisher...I am frankly glad he was not available when the Cowboys were selecting their coach.

It is interesting to note that there is now only 1 head coaching vacancy left in the NFL...it is with the Titans....so if Fisher wants to coach this year, it will be as a coordinator at best. I highly doubt he will coach this year...it is in his best interest to take the year off and get the best job next year....which may possibly be with the skins

I'm expecting a hire Fisher, fire Haslett thread here within hours.

I think with Fisher it was just time to move on for both sides. He's been there a real long time and he's butted heads with Adams more than a few times. Plus why would a coach like Fisher want to be stuck under a cheap owner like Adams? He can sit and do TV for a year and pick his job for 2012.

I don't know a lot about Fisher's background. Is he an offense or defensive minded coach? Coordinator before he had the head gig in Tennessee?

Firing Shanahan and hiring Fisher = dumb

Firing Haslett and hiring Fisher = brilliant

Make him the highest paid DC in the league and let's call it a day

I know, total Madden move, but it still sounds good

Shanahan and Fisher share a connection when they worked for the 49ers, Shanahan as OC and Fisher as DC.

So we cut our loses with the 3-4 defense and go back to the 4-3?

It's highly doubtful that he'll take a coordinator position

[Dread-Skin]

I say yeah, Fire Haslett and make another contract that we will hopefully make good on or if not be satisfied with Shanahan. Years back we had a contract term with GWilliams that if he wasnt the heir apparent to Gibbs we would pay him extra $million/s. We let him go and somehow elevated Blache and hired Zorn and elevated Zorn. We got triple screwed . Maybe we can lure in a great mind and have a fail safe when Shanahan fails to live up to his own ego/shadow.
