USC rumored possible Jeff Fisher

[SCVoljl]

Went on ESPNlosangeles.com, and a couple of other names on there were DeWayne Walker from NM State and Jim Harbaugh. Lane wasn't listed on there as a potential, but Sark was.

They also said the Mike Riley did say he would be interested in the job, but also likes his life in Oregon. NOt sure if that was the political answer, but sounded like he was interested in pursuing.

This crap is a mess, now ESPN is saying that he is not getting full control of the seahawks.

If he's so cheap, how did they have salary cap issues a couple of years ago?

Because the general manger and guy who had control then was floyd reese - who's now gone - and he believed in keeping players regardless of the cost and as a result, around 2003/2004 the titans had too many bigger contracts and had to purge a whole bunch of starters

wait, i didnt read all the back and fourth in the convo

And why were there so many predictions that the Titans would be Super Bowl contenders this season if they had so many critical free agency losses after last year? The cheap owner excuse didn't appear until after about the 4th or 5th loss.

While Adams isn't the most free spending owner, Fisher seems pretty happy with that circumstance since he's been there 16 seasons now. If losing free agents was such an issue and Fisher such a spectacular coach, seems he would have had the opportunity to leave the Titans for a better situation by now.

no we as fans have said the cheap owner / gm (reinfeldt) thing since like 2006 when we started letting all of vince's WRs go (bennett, wade, etc) and didnt sign or draft anyone else; then they started not doing much in FA and the idea built, but it's been there for a while now

analysts now call it that the franchise sets a certain price they feel a player is worth, and if they go too far above that in their asking price they just say "too bad"

So you expected the Titans to struggle this season and finish somewhere around .500 because of their free agent losses?

no not at all what I was getting towards, all i was saying is the front office being "cheap" idea has been around the fanbase for a while

it's not a new thing after just this year
