why would 1-5 change anyone's attitude ?
5-5 maybe
9-7 ideally
8-8 imo has to be the magic number that saves his job

and in order to do that, the coaches attitude and perception needs to change

I rather go 0-6 and keep the heat on Fisher than to beat the Pats and give him some breathing room going into the bye week. 0-6 sucks...1-5 sucks... but 1-5 gives Fishy some brownie points.

Lets pour the heat on him and hope for some kind of change. Sorry guys but winning this one is just stalling. We need to lose big...hard love.

Beating the Pats?!

Yeah that would give him a lot of brownie points!!

I never want us to lose, but I do think it's time for fresh ideas within our franchise!

Kerry Collins is dissolving into the Kool-Aid around here. Everyone's getting older this year. Haven't you noticed?

Or Why I Want Him Gone

Let me preface this by saying Jeff Fisher is my favorite head coach of all time. I really love the guy as a coach. But this season I'm afraid is showing me a pattern I previously did not fully realize or accept was there.

Jeff is a defensive-minded coach. This much is true. A HC is going to be one or the other. It's unavoidable. But a head coach has to place a certain amount of trust in his subordinates, and I get the sad feeling that all the trust has gone out of Jeff Fisher.

I think it's obvious the defense is declining in areas, guys are getting older, and we have the injury bug of 2004. However, guys are and were clearly out of position before that even started happening. Teams such as the Patriots and Steelers have shown you can win defensively with age or youth as long as you are doing the right things coaching-wise.

On the offensive side of the ball, we have plenty of horses, and a coach who is unfortunately too inept to utilize them in the right ways. Johnson, Cook, Ringer, Washington, Britt, White, Scaife, Ringer, Hall, not to mention our offensive line, only one of whom was injured to start the season...there's just no excuse here. Unless you're a guy who can't figure out what the hell to do with some of the greatest weapons on offense the team has had in the last 10 years, which is where we are with Fisher. I have to wonder if he insists on making defense and special teams the star of the show.

You can counterbalance a declining defense with a surging offense, which is what I at least thought would and should have happened, and it hasn't. It's led me to believe Fisher cannot handle more than 3-4 weapons on offense at a time (a la McNair, George, Wycheck, Mason), has done too many of the same things for too many years offensively and defensively, and cannot thrive one iota unless the defense is playing top notch. The one recent exception to this was 2006, because Vince Young ran off-script so much when it counted (and Steve used to do the same). Subtact that, and the Titans would have had their 3rd losing season in a row.

So it's either a case of Fisher will not allow Heimerdinger free offensive reign, or that Heimerdinger has allowed the game to pass him by as much as Fisher.

A head coach has to find a way to balance a team out. I cannot give Fisher props for player development, either. Look at what's going on here. Stagnancy. He's the head coach. Not the coach-who-focuses-strictly-on-defense. That's not his title. Is it Mawae? Yank him? Is Stewart still hurt? Give him the rest he needs then.

So what will most likely happen next if Fisher survives the season is 2 more years of defensive rebuilding while Fisher chases every one of our offensive playmakers out of town the first chance they get, because no one on offense is used to their maximum effect while Fisher is coach. Furthermore, it would not surprise me at all if our offensive players were told a lot "You guys could be one of the best offenses in the league if Fisher would just get out of your way and let y'all play."

Fisher is only capable of winning with a top defense. And everyone else on the team has to stay "on-hold" while he retools and rebuilds it. A coach simply cannot allow half his roster to go underutilized while he focuses solely on his strength. That's what Fisher makes Titans fans suffer through, and I'm really just now seeing the pattern.

I'm starting to believe that after being bailed out repeatedly by Steve (RIP), Jeff's ego wouldn't allow him go through the same thing with Vince. He let Vince save his butt in 2006, and basically told him "You're going to do this my way or not at all." Now it's coming back to bite him. Perhaps Jeff has given free reign to Heimerdinger, and he just blows, or he's told 'Dinger the same thing as Vince. Either way, we need a coach who puts his weaknesses in the hands of coordinators who can compensate for them.

I guess that's the lesson I want Fisher to learn pronto, or the next guy who gets the job.

hate to break it to you though, but mcnair, george, mycheck, and mason, are much better then any other four players u can name on our offense!!!
