    The most frustrating thing about going to a Titans game during those seasons watching a Defender line up 7 yards off the line of scrimmage and watching guys like Pierre Garcon and Mike Thomas slant infront of the defender for an easy 5-7 yard pickup. I could literally sit up in the 300's at LP and tell you where the ball was going because the softspot in the defense was so evident. Did Cecil not believe in his guys? Did he think that they would get burned if they actually put a body on the receiver? Just goes to show you that he had no faith in his personnel. That will bring down morale as quickly as anything.

    But its funny... VY calls out the coach in front of the team.. he's immature... Finny does it after the coaches are gone and he's regarded as a folk hero.

    Head coaches are like brake shoes. They just have to be changed sometimes.

    A lot of people will always be "fans" of Jeff Fisher because everything he has done for Nashville. I'll be rooting for Jeff to have success in the future, unlike Vince Young.

    What does a thread about Chuck Cecil's defense have to do with Vince Young?

    Same here.I despise Peyton Manning he is a division rival who has been a thorn for this team for many years and then he put on a Manning jersey.Also the six game losing streaks,Stubbornly hanging on to Kerry Collins in the lineup way past the point where he was useful,Being loyal to certain players and coaches at the expense of the team and that includes Chuck Cecil.Having Lagarette Blount then putting him on ice him but Donnie Nickey was assured a roster spot.We had a running backs coach Byner i think who we let go for no good reason.Several instances of rookies clearly outplaying veterans but still not getting a chance.There seem to be times we didn't utilize or maximize the talent we had and had the same vanilla game plan.The whole feud with Vince that just seemed to be a childish game that never ended.Up until last year i would've been very upset if they let Fisher go but after all of the stuff above started happening it was like one thing after the other to the point where it was hurting our team.I'm a Tennessee Titans fan till the end but as far as Fisher goes i was done with him the minute he resigned.I'm glad the team is starting off fresh with different coaches and a new approach because things were getting stagnant.I'm thankful for what Fisher did accomplish while he was here but i'm also glad the team is beginning a new chapter and going in a new direction with different ideas instead of the same 'ol same 'ol year in and year out with Fisher.

    the pacman pick was excellent. perfect risk vs reward assessment. nice agressive move. didnt work out... oh well, at least we didnt draft a player who had a simplistic offense built around him, and who relied on outrunning slower, inferior college atheletes to succeed. I called for titans to trade down and pick cutler that year as well. was ridiculed for it. oh well...
