So with this 0-4 start the grumblings have begun: it is time to fire Jeff Fisher. This is not the cry of the majority of the fanbase, but a significant enough portion to where the conversation is being had. However, I am telling you now, firing Jeff Fisher is a VERY BAD IDEA.
Jeff is still a top 10 coach in this league
We all know about how this season has taken the expectations of Titans fans and the team and crapped all over them. 4 weeks in and the Titans have already lost more games than last year. It is almost excepted wisdom that it is time to bring back Vince Young. Most fans have given up on making the playoffs, they just want to see the Titans avoid total embarrassment at 3-13 (some people even have 0-16 in the back of their heads).
So, who does the fanbase blame when these expectations aren’t met? The coaches. And this year, I believe it is deservedly so. However, that does not mean it is time to end the Jeff Fisher era. You don’t just fire a top 10 coach for one season of unmatched expectations. (more…)
