QB coach/Titans boot Young out of facility (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Bri
- Start date
Titans quarterback Vince Young isn’t welcome at Baptist Sports Park, at least not for the time being.
Young showed up at the team’s facility on Monday and was asked to leave by a team official, according to sources familiar with the situation.
Young expressed frustration and was visibly upset, according to sources, but he eventually left without incident.
It’s just the latest in the saga between the quarterback and the franchise, which plans to place him on Injured Reserve because of a right thumb injury that needs surgery.
Titans Coach Jeff Fisher could not be reached for comment on Tuesday. He said during a press conference on Monday that he had not talked to Young since Sunday, when the quarterback and coach had a verbal altercation in the locker room after the game.

So much for Bud Adams promising Vince and Fisher will both be back next year. One of the two needs to go.

Bud is afraid that if he cans Fisher, the team takes a huge ####. It will and he will look like a fool.

Vince sabotages his own career. Reggie Bush and him were two of the best college players I've seen, and that Young-Bush Championship was one for the ages. After that game I thought that we might be embarking on a Young-Bush NFL era, but between Reggie's injuries and Vince's meltdowns I don't think we'll ever seen anything like those Young-Bush days on the pro level.

Randy Moss seems to be carrying a curse lately.

It's time to blow it up in Tennessee. Release Young and fire the coach.

Maybe I should drop Moss before his curse touches my team as well.This.

So I guess we can safely pencil in the Titans using their 1st round pick on a QB, since Young's successor isn't on the roster ?

i wish Bud would have relinquished control of the franchise years ago.......his unconditional dedication to fisher is going to send him to an early grave with no ring. after decadess of service to his beloved franchise......he needs to clean house and terminate the entire coaching staff at the end of this patented fisher 8-8....7-9 season.........

i just dont see fisher being the problem.... if you saw the sideline on sunday, no one would say that fisher is the problem with this team. i dont think its possible for an outside person to even fathom how difficult it is to work with vince. his attitude on the sideline is nothing short of childish. i sit on the 3rd row behind the titans directly behind where the QBs and offense talk when the defense is on the field. when fans booed in the second quarter, vince came to sideline encouraging it and yelling at the fans, "keep on booin', i love it, keep on.... all yall suck!!" he continued this all the way till he got injured. absolutely amateur.
vince young is not a professional. given a great situation, sure he can succeed. is he talented?... absolutely. but the second things don't go his way, it all goes south... quickly. and here's my point.... what does vince expect? hell, he plays in nashville!!! that has got be one of the easiest markets in the counrty as far as media/fan scrutiny goes. and he thinks the fans in nashville suck? what would the fans in chicago or new york be doing to him if he acted like that? he doesn't have what it takes to be successful in the long term in the NFL... the talent is there... but the preparation, the mental toughness, and the ability to bring those things every week for an entire season aren't there and will never be there.
jeff fisher is a great coach and he will be at the top of coaching candidates for next year if bud adams makes the biggest mistake in titans frachise history and lets him go only to please vince young. vince will be an afterthought in all things NFL within 2 years.

If he was able to sign Cowher I wouldn't mind losing Fisher but I hope the move wouldn't be to please Vince. I do think Cowher is the right guy and the Titans the best team he could coach. I haven't given up on Fisher, he's a good coach, but if they got Cowher they'd be in the Super Bowl in a couple years or less.
Titans statement:
“Tennessean reports indicating that Vince Young is not welcome at Baptist Sports Park are incorrect. Yesterday, he was informed by a coach at the facility not to attend Monday’s team meeting and was free to leave. The intention was to be able to talk to the team about Young’s situation and how the team would move forward. Players that are on injured reserve are not required to attend team meetings. As of today, he has been placed on injured reserve and all the same rules apply to him as to any other player in that category.”

yeah Cowher would certainly take the sting out of losing fisher... and at least he brings a solid mustache back to the sideline. but you can't tell me if the line was drawn and you had to go fisher or VY... you would go VY??? not me.

Fisher has been with the Titans long enough, with no Super Bowl victory to show for it. He probably needs to go sooner or later.
He does the best he can with the talent he's given.Couple examples-There's been like 100 WRs on the Titans since Warren Moon's days of having four good WRs and the only good one has been Mason. Kenny Britt was (or seemed to be) the first time they ever drafted one highly. Other than McNair at QB, they gave him Billy Joe Tolliver, much older Kerry, Bucky Richardson, Cody Carlson, older Chris Chandler, Billy Volek and a plethora of guys that (literally) no other team wanted.His great DL and OL during his tenure were more often not the result of high draft picks but later picks that panned out well. Even some of these second round linemen, that's pretty late for a "star" DE, DT or OT. If they were a star, they'd have gone in round 1 and probably very early.

If it's true, it's a low-class move by the Titans. He's still a member of the team. You don't kick a guy out of the facility. He's part of the team. Very disrespectful. No matter how he acted, you don't kick him out of the building.
Supposedly it was because him being on IR means that he doesn't have to be at "team" meetings and this mornings meeting was going to be about how the "team" was going to be moving forward the rest of the year without him.What irks me even more is that Fisher didn't have the cajones to tell VY himself he sent one of the other coaches to ask VY to leave

. . . unless the guy's behaving like a complete horse's ###, which could certainly have been the case here.
Could have been Vince behaving poorly and the guy in charge of the weight room (largely for that reason, since they have trainers) asked him to leave. I don't know what the reason is, but I don't think it's reasonable for anyone to predict without a doubt that Vince acted like an angel after his tantrum the day before. I mean if he mouthed off and insulted everyone in the weight room, that'd be the immaturity we've unfortunately come to expect. If that's the case, Fisher not giving details is a good thing.

One week earlier, Vince skipped the team meeting on his own volition, plus he skipped warmups/workouts before the game.A low-class move by Vince Young. Link
If you are feeling sorry for Vince then you've fallen for his "victim" act. This is exactly what he wants.
Not really feeling "sorry" for the guy as it's clear he's not "perfect" BUT Fisher isn't totally blameless either.
