Titans Paid Jeff Fisher $8 Million to Walk Away

PrintMan this thing is crazy. Joe Dubin, Jim Wyatt and numerous others are tweeting that Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams paid Jeff Fisher $8 million as part of an agreement for him to not be the coach of the team in 2011. From Wyatt:
"So the two sides decided it would be best to part ways. Fisher took a buyout of roughly $8 million, which included a bonus."
So apparently Fisher's contract was set to pay him more than the $6.5 million that had been reported earlier. It is really strange to me that Bud said earlier he never even considered firing Fisher and paying him not to coach in 2011, but now he gives him $8 million to walk away.
Wyatt also tweeted that the front office was frustrated with Fisher's slow pace to hire new coaches.
So maybe Bud met with Fisher earlier this offseason and said he wasn't going to pay him not to coach, and he wasn't going to give him an extension. Fisher was hoping to get fired so he could get paid, but didn't want to walk away and not get his money. So he decided to drag his feet once his coaches started leaving to force Bud's hands.
It is a shame Fisher isn't as good at winning football games as he is at winning power struggles.
Statements from Titans and Fisher after the jump.
Titans:
“We will be forever appreciative of Jeff Fisher’s leadership and accomplishments through his time with our franchise. We reached some of our greatest heights and experienced some unforgettable moments during his tenure.
“After the season was complete, we had numerous discussions on the direction of the team and were pleased that we were moving forward with Jeff at the helm. Since that time, it became evident that consensus was increasingly hard to find and reality wasn’t matching the vision we discussed. It is unfortunate that this decision is coming at this juncture, but we believe that we have reached the point where change is in the best interest of both parties.
“We will start the head coaching search tomorrow. We expect to talk to a broad and diverse group of candidates. We are confident the coaching pool still has a number of quality candidates that can lead our football team.”
Fisher:
“I want to thank Mr. Adams and the organization for a special 17 years. I can’t thank the fans enough for the support they showed us through the years; it has been a tremendous experience. We all did our very best and I think I can look back with fond memories and be very proud of what we accomplished. I want to wish the organization, the current players and the fans nothing but the best in the future.”

Munchak is a good O-line coach
But I do not want him promoted to Head Coach as Wyatt is reporting is likely.
Holy Moly
That’s a lotta cheese!
I can understand the frustration over not hiring a staff quickly. There seemed to be no sense of urgency. Who was representing the Titans at the Senior Bowl? Why did Fisher and Co stand idly by while other coordinators were getting snatched up?
This is going to be a trying time as a Titans fan. This ship has officially hit the bottom of the ocean. Please, for the Love of Gawd, do not hire Munchak as the head coach. Get your heads out of your asses, front office, and get this team back on track!

But would the Titans organization be willing to go through that drastic of a change that quickly? Then again, it wouldn’t surprise me. I don’t think Mangini would be an awful coach, just not a good one.

Not as drastic...
as it would be to switch over to a 3-4 defense (which is what would probably happen) because we have no one that can do that. No nose tackles, only one starting interior linebacker (who of course, can’t cover). We would have to essentially start over on defense and bring back only a couple of players.

but would he necessarily go to a 3-4 immediately just because that’s what he’s done in the past?

There have been coaches that have changed that way, yes
But that is asking for a lot. Thats everything he works as a coach. Now maybe he would hire a defensive coordinator that would run 4-3, who knows? But if you want to make changes, you can’t leave some exceptions. I would be surprised if he didn’t. But I’ve been wrong before.

Now is as good a time as any
if the Titans made the switch to a 3-4 front. I can’t think of a better time than when your organization is drifting and the coaches are abandoning ship.
Why is it the only imagery I have in my head is of a negative naval nature?
Go Titans, do not go gentle into that good night!

This is leading to a terrible 2011 season, just hope that Reiny doesnt walk out on us.
The terrible 2011 season (as long as we dont go 0-16) will give us andrew luck and I am willing to go for that. And do we switch to the 3-4 now?
Oh hai MCM
I hope so.
However, seems like this whole organization is in disarray, shooting from the hip. I hope they have some sort of a plan B in place and somebody sane is calling the shots.
At this point, nothing would surprise me even if it is announced next month that CJ’s being traded for a draft pick and a bucket of balls.
Only Logical
reason behind any of this is that Coach Fisher couldn’t keep his guys. He lost washburn, fired Chucky and was probably having to many other problems resigning other present and possible furture staff memebers.
So it makes since that he walked into work one day and said. Look.. I can’t hire anyone worth a damn unless I have job security past this coming year. So he decided to call up Mr. Adams and speak his mind about it. Mr. Adams didn’t want to extend him so they mutally parted ways
I believe this is going to take years to recover from. and if VY is NOW kept then it’s going to be at least 5 years and 2 coaches. My fear is that we are the Next Oakland Raiders. We will all jump for joy when we finish the season 4-12 instead of 3-13. But hope I’m wrong.
Just because we fired Fisher
doesn’t mean we are going to become the Raiders.

Did you live through the Houston Oiler days? 36 years from 1960 to 1996 and the team had 16 head coaches.. 36/16 = 2.25 years avg per head coach. Stablitiy was a big problem for a team that had some real superstars back in the day.
I have a feeling that Adams will NOT have the tolerance for losing like he did for Fisher. Considering Age, and desire I believe it will revert to what it was like in the old days. I.E. what the raiders are like now. Coaches ever few years. Some will probably only be around for a year.
Do I know this for sure? No I don’t, but it’s a VERY realistic possiblity.

I am sure no one cares what I think...but this is a blog
and I will say it anyway.
1. Please fill this organization with high character guys. I do not expect great things, but the only way we have a chance is by bringing in smart guys with character.
Names: Rob Ryan, Mangini, Cowher, Gruden, Ditka, Herm Edwards.
2. I think our only hope to win this year is with VY at the QB position, if the reltionship can be repaired, its worth a shot for a year. While we repair everything else. If that does not work, well have a strong core, a good foundation, and we can put in Orton, Palmer, Etc. here next year.
3. No jokes, no intentions of throwing games next year to score Luck. I do not care how good he is going to be, I think it should be a rule. THe losing has gotten old enough.
Whos on board?
I agree with what you said
But just something I gotta point out is that Rob Ryan was already hired by the Cowboys as their D-Coordinator
I agree with everything you said though

by Bryan J. Boltik on Jan 27, 2011 7:56 PM CST up reply actions
Rob Ryan for HC!
Gruden and Edwards id rather not
Ditka?…idk…he still had that draft fiasco before…
Im ready to let 2011 go as a stinker if it means Andrew Luck. Im not saying we throw games, I just think next year is going to be so bad we will get Luck. I have 0 faith in VY
Oh hai MCM
Honestly
We were 5-3 or so with Vince there. I think we got him for rent, no one will trade for him, so lets hang on to him, and see what the kid comes up with. I do not know the rules, but I still think that you should be aloud to interview for a HC job if you are a DC.
I think Edwards would be a good fit, if we could bring in a scheme guy with him, like a Mangini.
If it means we dont draft a QB this year and have the chance to get Luck (i really see no reason to be excited bout next season yet) then sure, keep vy for one more year and one year alone
…Maybe, JUST MAYBE, VY will somehow become all we wanted him to be…but im not holding my breath
Oh hai MCM
I agree with points 1 and 3 except for the names
because they are highly unlikely (especially Rob Ryan who’s future has already been determined)
I just absolutely cannot get on board with point 2. You kind of contradict point 1 any way because VY is not a ’high character" guy.
That is one relationship I was glad to see go and this is the other one.
The only thing I fear this means is that we will have to wait a couple years to see the improvement. Or instant success, thus raising the bar too high early and risking disappointment in 2012.

So does this mean...
..that Fish wasnt TRYING to hire new coaches, or not hard enough? As if he expected to get sacked? Could have sworn I read that front office people were getting upset about his lack of urgency. So did he sign Cecil to that mystery contract knowing he was gonna walk?
I think he resigned Cecil thinking he was going to get an extension, because he’s always gotten away with it. And then when he found out that wasn’t the plan, he started forcing Bud into a corner.
That could be a scenario.
by Los Blancos Chicca on Jan 27, 2011 8:15 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
The conspiracy theories can go on for months now. We need Mulder and Scully to figure this out.
Maybe Fisher wanted Bud to fire him and keep VY but the GM was too convincing on his Houston visit. Now Fisher was stuck to try and coach a team with only Rusty Smith signed to contract as QB. Fisher tell Washburn to jump ship before he does. Cecil says he wants a little pocket money just in case this is their last big score. Fisher drags his feet on interviewing new coaches and he skips the Senior Bowl practices. Now Fisher hugs Munchak and waits for his people to call Bud with the final offer of 8 million to just walk away.
Bud walks into Fishers office the next month to reminisce about old times where he notices Jeff stole all the staples and post it notes leaving just one post it note with a big smiley face with a thick mustache drawn on it.

I'm trying to be
as positive as I possibly can. I don’t even wanna think about the Titans for a while. I wanna go away and when I come back the team will have everything settled and have made some good decisions. As of right now I don’t feel the team has any direction, rhyme or reason for anything that’s gone on. I’m not sure they have a clue who they want to draft, hire or fire. I have no idea where this team is going, once again I’m not sure they do either.
While I’m not against this move, like everyone else I don’t understand the timing or anything that’s been said or done leading up to it. It’s like we are all over the place. I’m pretty disgusted right now. I believe with the roster that’s in place we can win some games. Sure we could use a free agent and or a good draft pick here or there to improve in some areas, but who will lead. As of right now there’s nothing, there’s nobody to look to. If we hire Munchak, while I respect him… How could you put a single ounce of trust in him as a player or a fan. It almost seems like he’s the logical candidate as it’s completely illogical. That’s the route we are seeming to take these days.
I guess more than anything, I had come to grips with the fact Fish was coming back. I knew what to expect, and I kinda knew at least for another year what type of expectations to have for team.
Just another breaking ball for a bunch of fastball hitters. Right now I’m confused. Someone please fix it, and fix it quick.

Welcome to having an owner that is rapidly becoming the next Al Davis
Sorry Bull, I had too. Im very uneasy about everything despite my happiness that Fish is gone
Oh hai MCM
How is he becoming Al Davis?
We knew this had to happen. Regardless, it was going to happen next year. Fisher pretty much F-ed over Bud by resigning Cecil when apparently he didn’t want to, then firing him. Bud did what he had to do, better late then never. At least we can finally move on from the Fisher-era
Un-VINCEable
Yeah that was a dick move
Even though I would redirect a lot of Bud’s money in different ways, it sucks that Fish tied some of that money we could use on new staff.
It's not about just this
It’s about everything. It’s not even the decisions. It’s how he’s making them, and how there isn’t much reason or answer behind them. They almost seem odd. Hopefully someone can make some sense of it all soon. I’m on board for Fishers departure, just not the time or close to how I’d anticipated or hoped it would go.

I think many of us were all for this, but sooner
Also, I hope Bud has been secretly flirting with potential HC’s just in case. I pray we’re not just now flipping thru the rolodex.
I'm sure we will
I’m just afraid of who it might be. I’m not saying I don’t see reasons behind firing Fisher, did I? Did I miss myself saying that?
The fact he said he was keeping Fisher, then changed his mind kinda blows mine. It went from like Vince and Fisher are staying, to only Fisher is staying and Vince is gone, to Fisher is gone and we don’t know what’s going down with Vince all within a month. Pretty ridiculous shit right there son. I always like and still do like an support Bud, but really get a fuckin clue guy. Have an idea on what you wanna do and your intentions.

I agree that its been all over the place
but the from the sound of it, Bud was willing to do what it takes to keep Fisher around until this last weeks melt down and if this is true:
"A source told John Clayton that Jeff Fisher was looking to add Brandon Fisher to his 2011 staff as a quality control coach, and that turned out to be a breaking point for Bud Adams. "
Then Bud had to do what he had to do. I am glad he had the balls to do it
Un-VINCEable
If that's really the case
then fine. I’m sure there’s a lot to a lot of the shit that’s gone on with VY and Fisher. I’m just tired of the craziness. I don’t think it was a good move to bring back Fisher and say something like ah well I wasn’t gonna pay him not to be the coach. That’s just dumb. Then to say that your QB is going to be cut or traded in the near future when he’s got a huge roster bonus coming. I mean its like hey, wait till we cut Vince and you can have him. Wait till next year and you can have our lame duck coach, I will pay him so you can wait as we struggle through another .500 season with hopes the players respect a guy that has already lost the team and will only do so more in this position we are putting him in.

The last time Bud had to fully rebuild from top to bottom including HC and the likes was when he brought the team to tennessee. Sure 10 or so years is something when you go from 30-40 but with the case of the elderly, dimensia and senility settle in. Flipping fingers at the Bills. Perhaps he is the anti Al Davis in the sense that Al is pushy and is pretty much a douche while Bud is a pushover and I think he needs to find someone who wont take advantage of him

I am just done with the Titans for a while. After today, I’m not really going to pay too much attention to this team until the draft.

So before when there were talks of Fisher being let go and he was going to be such a hot commodity for other teams...
Do you think after the resigning of Cecil (which apparently Bud didn’t know about), then the firing of Cecil to which we still have to pay for, coaches jumping ship, etc. that he will still be such a hot prize in other franchises eyes? Or do you think other teams will second guess his judgment as we all have over the years…?
Un-VINCEable
From PK's article
“A source told John Clayton that Jeff Fisher was looking to add Brandon Fisher to his 2011 staff as a quality control coach, and that turned out to be a breaking point for Bud Adams. "
Patrick Peterson= Next Deion Sanders. Julio Jones sucks.
bahahahahahahaha! I am so glad he is gone
Finally Bud pulled the trigger. Who the shit does Fisher think he is?
Un-VINCEable
What?
I said this as a joke during the season but wow Fisher really thought he could do anything and Bud would say yes.
Wyatt:
More on Fisher buyout. Been told by multiple sources the $8M figure greatly exagerrated and not close to real numbr. It’s maybe half #titans
Patrick Peterson= Next Deion Sanders. Julio Jones sucks.
More from Wyatt:
Fisher is supercool. He is like my idol in everything. I really like his mustache!! ZOMG I HOPE HE READS THIS!!!!1111
Un-VINCEable
Breaking News!!! Paul Kuharsky smacks Jim Wyatt for making eye contact with his idol Jeff Fisher.
Hutton just said on the radio," if you dont look at the stats the Titans are losing Jeff Fisher who is a great NFL coach." .
In fairness, Keith is employed by the franchise.
It behooves him to say good things, but he is critical of them in assessing the state of the team and in post-game analysis.

I make fun of people but if I was being paid to do it I would be the biggest kiss butt in america.
I would sound like this,“That Justin Gage gave so much effort on that dropped pass I hope he makes the pro bowl.”
Gregg Williams anybody?
This would be a great opportunity to bring in Gregg. Improves the Defense, and if Dinger is not back, you bring in a good offensive mind. Gregg has HC experience and is a great Defensive mind……….Thoughts?
Someone once said "Vince Young bleeds two toned blue!" But I disagree, because The Great One Doesnt Bleed!!
I'd be for Gregg Williams but...
The reason he wasn’t our DC is because he wanted to hire his son so….
I dont know if Bud wants to pay that kind of money right after paying off Fisher.
An on staff promotion sounds cheaper. Hiring me would be the cheapest hire because ill work for half of what Fisher was being paid,HA.
Wow.... just wow
Come home after a busy day at work and world has exploded.
Well… as much as this sucks there’s now a chance of us turning this around faster. We no longer have a lame duck coach so we can hire quality assistants. We have a good GM and some talent on our team.
Our decisions wont be based on winning now, but will be based on a solid long term plan.
Also, on Munchak, I don’t know the guy so I can’t say he wouldn’t be a good HC. He played for years, he’s in the Hall of Fame, and he’s been a great O-line coach.
Is it a weird choice? Heck yeah. Can I honestly say I know anything about Munchak’s ability to be a Head Coach? Not Really.
Did Bud listen to Obama?

Wow what a crazy offseason. I got off work and I got a zillion texts from non-Titan fans laughing at what a mess we are.
I really think this is probably the best move for both parties. Fisher gets his money and doesn’t have to go through a crappy year as a lame duck head coach. We officially start the rebuild tomorrow. I will always be thankful for the work Fisher did for this franchise. I must admit I am scared we are going to make a bad hire though. Hopefully Reinfeldt finds someone outside the franchise. I really, really don’t want Mike Munchak to be the head coach. I love the guy, but I have serious doubts about a guy going from OL coach to HC, especially given his unit wasn’t exactly top-notch this year.
As for coaches, I’d love to see Gregg Williams here. Brian Schottenheimer would be my personal favourite. Jets fans hate him for his playcalling but I think he’d be a great fit here, especially working with a new young QB.

I could be wrong but I think Bud has a number in his head he wont pay a coach the season after he paid Fisher 8 million.
2012 is another story Bud will be ready to spend on a 5 year deal for a coach he believes is the right hire to win him a super bowl.
Im choosing to be an optimist
Fisher gave us some good times, but no more of the silly shit we all complained about watching over the past 2 seasons. Our new HC must be able to scheme at least ONE play involving Britt and Moss.

Agree but I don't think we're that far off from being a better, more competitive team.
A new HC should come with it a lot of change- like seeing more Cook, more Damian Williams, and new defensive schemes. Matt Ryan, Mark Sanchez, Joe Flacco and a few more have had a fair share of success in their first year- and that was also with a new HC.

Absolutely agree but those great defenses came with their head coach.
Mangini’s defenses were good but not great. Harbaugh took over a solid defensive team in Baltimore and they didn’t taper off one bit. I’m not saying we’re going to hire a defensive saviour but I do think its possible for a new HC and new QB to find success.

The risk is clearly huge.
Consider this, now that I’ve essentially given out my whole fanpost. After Drew Brees was taken in the second round, only 9 QBs have been selected since then (I haven’t checked these facts, it was a post by Kevin at Hogs Haven). Of the 9, none are the QBs of the future for their team. Let’s say a QB’s bust factor is 50%. It will always be 50% risk in the first, second and third round. The only difference is that its less hurtful if he busts as a second rounder compared to a first rounder. So if we have to take a 50-50 shot anyways, we might as well take it on the more talented and highly ranked QB.

First Post
I’ve been following this site for a while now but never posted. My blood boiled this season, last season, as a matter of fact, ever since Jeff Fischer let it be known that he was going to try his best to derail the future of Vince Young.
Fischer is the same genius that was willing to go 0-16 with Kerry Collins than start Vince Young.
He was also the ONLY genius to pick up Randy Moss off of waivers.
How many TDs did Moss have with the Titans this season, a big fat ZERO!!!!!!
Moss was the biggest waste of roster space EVER.
Fischer 17 seasons no SuperBowl Ring.
Sean Payton 5 season= Ring.
Mike Tomlin 3 seasons= ring and another SuperBowl appearence this season.
Even Ken Whisenhunt took the horrible Cardinals to the SuperBowl in his 2nd year.
Jeff Fischer 17 years and one FLUKE SuperBowl appearence because of the Music City Miracle fluke, trick play kick return.

I can't wait to see Robert Johnson
Yet another reason to hire outside the organization. Munchak, who may or may not end up being a good HC (I have doubts but I honestly don’t know much about him) is more likely to stay on the same path we were with Fisher. With that would come similar thoughts on our personnel, which would mean Cook and the rest are still likely in the same position.

Ya, now that Fisher is gone, it makes sense to bring in someone with new, fresh ideas
and someone who has not already formed opinions on our players,

I would like to have like Chip Kelly
or Gene Chizik just for fun
by Big Bad Bulluck on Jan 27, 2011 9:36 PM CST up reply actions
Let's give Saban another chance in the NFL
He was a Drew Brees away from being successful. I can’t get on board with Chizik I feel like he is just the guy that caught lightning in a bottle.

I'd like Saban...
…if only to get him away from Bama.
"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

a "Drew Brees" away from being successful is like a poor man being one lottery ticket away from being rich.
and really, it took an offensive scheme like Payton’s to really be able to utilize brees successfully. im not calling brees a “system QB”, but his strengths cater to a specific style of offense that really only he could run, and it just so happened that Payton ran that style of offense.
Agreed
They are #2 on the most hated list right behind the Dolts.

Idk what it is
Maybe its jealousy… Maybe its cuz they win and draft so well. Maybe its cuz their fans are all assholes? maybe its cuz they embrace a date rapist? I have no idea, but I hate them more than any team

Is that the hybird of the Dolphins and Colts?
The expansion franchise in 2042.

How can you hate the Jags?
They’ve not really been much trouble in division and they don’t have many fans- and the ones they do have aren’t usually jerks.

that's kind of part of it
they aren’t a real team and the one Jags fan here in Baltimore is a complete ass about a team that never does shit. screw them and their pathetic history.
Get 'em.

I think I've come
across the only 3 jags fans that exist, and they were all dicks. Small dicks trying to be big dicks. Trying to act like us, trying to be something they are not.
by Big Bad Bulluck on Jan 27, 2011 9:37 PM CST up reply actions
I don't have the Jags on my top 5
Because I don’t feel much of a threat from them ever.
I go:
Ratbirds
Colts
Texans
Steelers
Chargers
by Tyler George Nilson on Jan 27, 2011 9:35 PM CST up reply actions
and the Jets
because Rex Ryan is a sourpuss.

Not sure maybe because I heard his name during the game on Sunday
I would like to have gotten Ryan its a shame he signed to be the boys DC

who cares what team.
The guy we bring in used to coach? A winning coach is a winning coach. I’m sure if the guy came from the steelers then he would try harder to beat the steelers.

The fact he wants to stay
with the Steelers and wants no part of any other team makes me hate him all the more. I’m only half serious. I would hate him completely, I would give him a chance to grow on me.

Losing seasons

I'm not
I love it. Then I can pretend I am an owner and say who to hire and fire.

I can’t help but wonder if they would have promoted Heimerdinger…
… if he weren’t ill with cancer?
Maybe they’ll call “Bum” Phillips and see what he’s up these days…
;^P
Bud always did said he regretted letting Bum go back in the day.
Actually, it is kinda too bad Adams didn’t keep Phillips around a while longer and give him all the chances he gave Fisher. Maybe us fans of the old Oilers would not have had to suffer with all those losing seasons in a row back in the 1980s…
I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...
