Turns out the Music City Miracle was only the second greatest deception of Jeff Fisher’s 16-year coaching career with the NFL team now called the Tennessee Titans.
The topper came Thursday evening when the club released this stunning statement: “The Tennessee Titans and Jeff Fisher have agreed to part ways, and Fisher will no longer be the head coach of the team.”
Gee, you think owner Bud Adams might have liked to know this was possible before he parted company with quarterback Vince Young — whom Adams liked and Fisher despised — last month?
Or maybe this was Adams removing his second shoe, as if to say, “OK, I’ll say goodbye to Vince because it’s probably best for the team, but soon enough I’ll get rid of you, too.”
There’s even a joke going around that Adams now is as smitten with Auburn’s Cam Newton as he once was with Young, and Fisher couldn’t endure another round of that.
