Jeff Fisher isn't that Funny


Apparently members of the Tennessee Titans organization are just chock full of bad ideas this season. The Coach, Jeff Fisher tried to do something that he thought would be humorous while introducing former Indianapolis Colts Coach Tony Dungy at a speaking engagement in Nashville. He dressed in a Peyton Manning Colts Jersey. While it drew some laughter from the crowd and from Dungy, the Titan nation...was not pleased. Nor were they happy about the quote that preceded the unveiling "I just wanted to feel like a winner".

This was an odd act from an otherwise incredibly stable, understated coach. Fisher isn't known for bold outbursts, being overly colorful or anything else. He's the longest tenured coach in the NFL right now for a reason, he's been consistently successful with the Titans, a team almost always in playoff contention. This season hasn't been very kind though, last week they lost to New England 59-0 and head into their bye week 0-5.
