# It's appearing more and more that the Tennessee Titans will keep coach Jeff Fisher, picking up the option year on his contract. Word around the Titans is that general manager Floyd Reese, who is in the final year of his contract and has feuded with Fisher for years, is in the process of hiring an agent to negotiate his next contract. That would be a clear indication that Reese is about to leave. The one catch with the Titans is that there's some concern that Fisher and rookie quarterback Vince Young have a somewhat strained relationship. Young took note when defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz yelled at offensive coordinator Norm Chow after the victory over Jacksonville last Sunday. Schwartz was upset over a pass by the offense late in the game. Young had audibled to the pass play.

# Speaking of Schwartz, count him among a list of dark-horse candidates for a head coaching job this season. Prior to the rebuilding stage, when the Titans had to unload veterans because of salary cap reasons, Schwartz' defenses consistently ranked among the best in the league. This season, Schwartz kept together a mediocre unit after it allowed more than 40 points twice in the first half of the season and also had to deal with the Albert Haynesworth controversy. The most talented defender the Titans have is cornerback Pacman Jones, who also happens to be their most erratic. In short, kudos to Schwartz.

I hope he does get a HC job.

In short, kudos to Schwartz.

yeah, kudos... and let the door hit you on your way out.

i wonder where he would land.. Oakland?, Arizona?, Middle School Ranks?

I know some Aussie teams need coaches.

This is the 2nd time I've heard rumors of this "strain" between Fisher and Young. IF...and I stress, IF it is true.... Young needs to get over it!

ok, here's what I don't get:
1) I've heard conflicting reports on whether the play was called for Vince to just try and make a FD (you know a really backyard play) or that Vince made an audible.
2) I've heard the Fisher and Schwartz had a "discussion" during/after the game and that Chow and Schwartz had a "discussion" after the game. Wouldn't that indicate that both Chow and Fisher were defending Young? I mean why else argue with Schwartz, if you agree with him?

I don't think they were defending Young, just letting "chief re cap" know that they did NOT call a pass.

Fisher said in his post game conference..... "We told him to get outside and try to make something happen and NOT to throw the ball. He paniced."

Doesn't sound to me like he is defending Young.

He's not defending that he threw, but THEY did decide to give to Young, rather than just handoff to Henry, which IMO was dumb. In that situation you just run it up the gut and make sure you don't fumble.

:yes:

Ahhh! Gotcha. Sorry.

I refuse to put anything into rumors of young not getting along with anybody until I've seen some sort of evidence. The guy seems too nice to have problems with anyone on the team. He's bringing them together, and the win streak sure isn't hurting.

God I hope JS gets a head coaching job somewhere else.

Wow.... What an idiot..

I support the illiusion, lies, and misinformation. Send more press releases to Miami. Schwartz is a defensive genius.

We should put a package together with some low round picks for someone to hire him away.
