Sports Illustrated's Don Banks is reporting that the Titans and Jeff Fisher will part ways. Fisher is, according to FoxSports, getting $8-million to head off into the sunset- $6.5-million in his 2011 salary plus a bonus.
OSG attempted to get some kind of alternate confirmation in this, and we just got it...
The Tennessean's Jim Wyatt has confirmed the report.
From Wyatt:
Titans owner Bud Adams had no comment and seemed surprised by the report.
“Where did you hear that? I better check on that. I can’t talk about it now. I have to talk to my people there,’’ Adams said. “I haven’t talked to them today. I really can’t talk about it now because I don’t know what’s been said. I want to see what is going on.’’
More when we know more...
Until then, here's an interview Fisher did with Steve Mariucci about his future plans from this past season...

Wyatt continues, through his Twitter feed, that the Titans front office was frustrated over his lack of plans for next season and was tired of what they thought was him dragging his feet after firing two coaches last week- one of them being one of his best friends, Chuck Cecil.
Fisher wasn't a fan of coaching with one year left on a contract without a long-term renewal and saw, what he thought was, the writing on that proverbial wall we all talk about in situations like this...
Thus, the divorce...
