Jeff Fisher, Tennessee Titans Surprisingly Decide to Part Ways
Filed under: Titans, AFC South
Jeff Fisher no longer is coaching the Tennessee Titans.
Fisher, in one of the most surprising moves of the offseason, will part ways with the Titans, according to a statement released by the team early Thursday evening. Fisher has coached the Titans on a permanent basis since 1995.
He was the NFL’s longest-tenured head coach.
Although there was speculation about Fisher’s job security late in the season, the move comes as a surprise because the Titans and Fisher has appeared ready to move forward with Fisher as the coach since shortly after the season.
According to Fox Sports, Fisher will receive $8 million to leave.
It had been widely speculated and reported since late in the 2010 regular season that either Fisher or quarterback Vince Young would no longer be with the team next season. But when the team announced shortly after the season that Young would not return next season, speculation about Fisher cooled.
