    Jeff fisher was hired as dc in 94 and took over head coach near the end of the season when the jc was fired. Had no ties to oilers/titans before that.

    You guys will just make up whatever to try and **** on the titans and bud adams. What's up with that?

    Palmer had no titans ties either. But hey let's just make **** up to ***** about the team we are supposedly fans of right?

    You're the revisionist. Titans interviewed 4 candidates. Munchak was the first person interviewed and was openly declared the favorite to land the job from the outset. Titans also interviewed Heimerdinger, mike Mularkey, and Perry Fewell. The latter on the same day. Which suggests the job was sewn up early. It was a sloppy hire process full of good ole boy handoff BS.

    And Heimerdinger was dying of cancer so we all know he was never a serious option. More than likely he was just another name to try and make the interview list look more respectable.

    And Fewell satisfied the Rooney Rule, so there's that.

    Lol.

    Kinda makes you laugh when you read that list. Perry Fewell satisfied the Rooney Rule and still hasn't gotten a HC job. Mike Mularkey went 2-14 with the Jags. Mike Heimerdinger died.

    Munch was the best of the bunch.

    God damn that whole process was a cluster****.

    I believe we actually interviewed McGinnis as well. So 3 in-house guys. A Rooney Rule satisfaction. And Mike freakin' Mularkey. Yeah, pretty clear the whole new HC "search" was a big sham. It was Munchak's job from the moment Fisher cleared out the office.

    Late hire... yeah, yeah, yeah. Still, you cannot tell me those 5 guys were the best we could come up with. We're talking about a NFL heading coach gig here for Christ's sake. One of only 32 in the world. No one will ever convince me we couldn't have made a better hire.

    You'd think as old as I am that I would have the bad memory.

    Remember when every single one of you crybabies, Sawdustwhiner, Riverwhiner, Scarebitch, were cry cry cry :cry: because we hadn't signed a coach and it was January 12th?? Then Whisenhunt was hired January 13th. Fry was turning in his fan card.

    Fisher was fired on January 27th. Munch was hired February 7th. It was too late to go on a great coaching search for college or pro coaches, period. Fisher was going to stay coach, he pissed off Bud so Bud just moved up a guy in the system because there was no real opportunity for an extensive coaching search involving an outside hire. I don't think they were even doing homework prior to Fisher being fired, not extensively.

    On top of that, Bud and the team haven't been good ole boy for as long as the franchise existed or Fisher would've never been brought in! How convenient that scarebitch is going to say in decades it's internal hires when that time frame is all Fisher, Munch, and now Whis. Fisher who moved the team for 5 years, did awesome for 5 years, sucked for 5+ years after that.

    You all are just fickle bitter nellys.

    I'm not saying we had time to go on a 2 month search or anything. But we certainly could have interviewed more quality candidates. That interview list is a freaking joke. Teams can't block interviews for a higher position. And you can't honestly believe that no other coordinators wanted this job besides Fewell and Mularkey.

    Blame "timing" all you want. But from where I'm sitting it looks like Bud made a terribly short-sighted decision in hopes that he'd somehow manage to win a championship by effectively "staying the course" with a Fisher crony. Now, he obviously knew he didn't have much time left so I can't really blame him for that decision. It was after all his team so he has the right to be self-serving in that decision. I'm just saying he did the team and the fans a disservice in the process. Most of us saw the Munch failure coming from day 1.
