Tennessee Titans Daily Links: Jeff Fisher's (Not So) Curious Decision Edition

During the 2011 season finale of his call-in radio show Munchak hinted that the team could be hoping for a defensive playmaker in the first round. Ideally that's what I'd like to see, but much of it depends on who's there, and how free agency shakes out.
Rumors broke yesterday that Fisher has no desire to be part of another relocation saga, and that could drive him from the arms of St. Louis right to Miami. You can believe that's the case if you want, but lets not forget the Dolphins' public pledge to beat any financial offer Fisher receives. I'm sure Fisher's accountant hasn't forgotten it. Would Fisher really pick the Dolphins, who have no QB, have been running a 3-4 defense, hold a meh first round draft pick, a GM better known for controversy than results and a notoriously volatile star WR... just because the Rams might move to his hometown in a few years? Really?
And then there's this: the Dolphins could end up paying Jeff Fisher $40 million. Have they seen his winning percentage? I mean, WTF?
Paul K is piling together some things AFC South teams should regret, and moving Jason Jones tops his list for the Titans. Jones' disappointing year has been well chronicled here, and it could well lead to a parting of the ways if another team offers him a spot as a pass rushing DT. I think the Titans may have a chance to lure Jones back with the right package of promises, but after being mishandled this season he might not want to take another chance with his NFL career.
Blogging The Boys had some downer notes on Brett Maxie yesterday, so Jim Wyatt is hear to make you feel a little better about the only public candidate for the Titans' open DB coaching spot:
-In Maxie's first season as secondary (safeties) coach for Dallas, his tutelage of a defensive secondary helped the unit finish fifth in the NFL by holding opponents to 187.7 passing yards-per-game. Seven of the team's eight interceptions came by way of a member of the secondary under Maxie's coaching, including Newman's then career-high tying and team-leading four interceptions.
The prospect of Fisher heading to Miami has Dolphins media and fans excited.
Here's the AP obit on Derrick Mason's career, who is transitioning from the NFL to broadcasting.

A serious thanks, though. I can’t imagine how many hours a year you must spend on this.

Jeff Fisher is really not that good of a coach with all the love he is receiving.
He is good, and always got the team ready to play and compete, but there were too many season that were well below expectations and way too many sub .500 teams in his long tenure here. I wish him the best, but I hope that Rams or Dolphins fans are not expecting too much out of him.

You know, the one good thing about moving JJ to DE this year
is that he was healthy nearly the entire year. I think it’s our first full year that we have gotten out of Jason Jones…I still stand by that I think he can be a good DE this next year as he transitions to this new position and new defense.
However, I would still be up for drafting a defensive playmaker in the 1st round at DE if the right guy came along…pass defense is only second to pass offense in this league.

i've got mixed feelings about this.
I agree he could be better next year at DE, but he would be even better as a rotational DT if he could just stay healthy. After the Houston post game interview it sounds like he cant wait to see which team will give him the most money to play DT. I would prefer him as a Titan, but if not at least I can have my name back without everyone thinking I’m some kind of JJ fanboy.
wait, your actual name is Jason Jones?
This whole time I’ve thought you were just a fanboy!

It's funny how everyone thought Fish was going to St. Louis
And then out of nowhere it is Miami. I’m sure the 40 had nothing to do with it though, Fish just wants to rock the goldies in the 90 degree sun.

It's a leverage game.
I think ultimately he ends up in St. Louis regardless of any fears of relocation, he just wants to maximize the $$$ he can get from them. If they’re smart, they call his bluff…which they may be doing with all these interviews they allegedly are setting up or conducting based on recent reports.

I have to give Fish credit. He has played this like greasy salesman he is, and now will proceed to get a fat paycheck
for 13 or 14 years of mediocrity surronded by a few great ones.

Isn't that what he's always been though? A greasy salesmen, to the public at least.

Is there some sort of refund or trade-in system the Titans have implemented yet?
if not, they should.

Because they're going to give refunds on the millions they made from those sales?
If anything, Young should have to give refunds…he gets a percentage of all jersey sales of his, pay the people back!!!!11

I'm parked in Key Largo for a bit...
…and get a steady dose of Miami TV, and radio, and they really do want Fish. Heard a guy on the radio yesterday encouraging everyone to grow a mustache to support the hiring….I almost drove off the road!
Man it is hard to watch Tennessee basketball
Down by 2 at Mississippi State, final seconds, Tennessee player (I won’t name names, TRAE GOLDEN COUGH) gets the inbounds pass, and just literally trips over himself and loses the ball between his legs, leading to Miss St. getting it and slamming it home for 2, and ending the game. Tennessee athletics are just awful, but I suppose I can give the basketball team a few years to rise back up

Fisher- What a F'n Drama Queen
I’m so glad he is gone. If I was an owner he wouldn’t be dictating anything to me. See ya son, we don’t need this drama.
