Fisher part after 16 seasons
TERESA M. WALKER - The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Neither Vince Young nor Jeff Fisher survived their showdown in Tennessee.

05:54:14AM (ET) Friday,January 28,2011.

Nearly a month after the Titans announced they will trade or release the quarterback, they surprised the NFL by disclosing they are parting ways with the league's longest-tenured coach and the face of this franchise for 16 full seasons three weeks after owner Bud Adams decided to keep Fisher for the final year of his contract.

"It became evident that consensus was increasingly hard to find and reality wasn't matching the vision we discussed," according to the team's statement. "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."

Fisher is the coach who guided the then-Oilers from lame duck status in Houston through relocation to Tennessee while playing in four stadiums in four years from the Astrodome to Memphis and a stop at Vanderbilt University before finally settling into LP Field in 1999. He took the renamed Titans to their lone Super Bowl appearance, a thrilling 23-16 loss to St. Louis.

That is why the team released a statement saying the Titans will always appreciate his leadership through some of their "greatest heights." But the relationship frayed.

The parting seems to be cordial enough. Fisher is expected to attend Friday's news conference as the Titans discuss the first head coaching change since Fisher replaced Jack Pardee on an interim basis during the 1994 season. One of the leading candidates to replace Fisher is Mike Munchak, the Titans offensive line coach. The Hall of Famer is a favorite of Adams.
