ESPN News - SI.com: Jeff Fisher out as coach of Titans; he was NFL's longest active tenured coach (Nov. 1994)
According to an NFL source close to the situation in Tennessee, the move could be announced as early as Friday, although it's uncertain if Fisher's departure will be termed a firing, a resignation or a mutual parting of ways.
Though information about Fisher's situation was scarce Thursday, it was confirmed by a league source that he will not return to coach the team in 2011, contrary to what was previously expected. Fisher was said to be in the process of negotiating the terms of his departure with Titans owner Bud Adams.
According to a league source, only Adams, Fisher, Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt and team general counsel Steve Underwood were aware of the finer details of Fisher's imminent departure early Thursday evening. Members of the Titans front office could not be reached for comment Thursday, but SI.com was in contact with a member of the Titans public relations staff, who could not confirm the news.
While it's not known what prompted the change regarding Fisher's status in Tennessee, league sources say Fisher was not happy to lose a pair of his longtime defensive coaches last week. Fisher fired defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil, one of his closest friends, and saw well-respected Titans defensive line coach Jim Washburn accept a similar position on Andy Reid's staff in Philadelphia. Given that Fisher had just one year of security to offer any potential coaching replacements, it was thought that his task of filling those roles would be different.
That was dumb of the owner getting rid of VY and Fisher

They said after the season that they were gonna move Vince. They cant cut/release/trade him until Feb.7 at the earliest. I guess Bud Adams had a change of heart n/h -

He did have a helluva man crush on VY. He said he was torn between picking between VY and Fisher. -

ny boy out there told me that adams told fisher they were keeping Young and that Fisher could still remain the coach, and after hearing the news Fisher said, "I'm not coaching that immature crybaby anymore" and he walked out of the room. so adams put out the press release that fisher was fired so that fisher couldn't try and save face and say he resigned.

Thank you based ? !!!!!

Good move Bud Adams, now keep VY and next season will be good.

Its not on ESPN. This can't be real.

16 full seasons and only 6 playoff years. I am not sure how he made it 16 full seasons without winning a championship and keeping his job. Coaches have been fired who had more success than he did. In 2 years Rex Ryan has 4 playoff wins and Fisher has 5 in 16 yrs.

i could probably be one of the coldest people u could possibly ever meet.
BUT NOW IM COMPLETELY IN TEARS. AND THEY ARE TEARS OF JOY!!!!!

I literally hit refresh the second I made this post and it was up there. ? me. What a poorly run organization. -
someone who was old enough to remember: how good of a defensive coordinator was fisher?

Well good riddance, 6 winning seasons out of 16 is not good. He'll get another job somewhere, maybe he can pick up Leinhart's garbage ass!
