Titans fire Defensive Coordinator Chuck Cecil
Jeff Fisher was probobly tired of having a horrible defense and this year they were worst in yards allowed(1,139).After starting 4-2 the Titans defense slowed and they lost 8 of their last 10.Cecil was caught of guard by this but still respects Fisher's desicion. Titans did respond immediately but Cecil did send a message to Fisher on his cell phone. Cecil was a former NFL safety and was well known for making an obscene gesture at the officials with his right hand about a neutral zone infraction and got fined $40,000 and was on You Tube even before the game back from commercial break. Titans were ranked the #30 defense and had 1,139 penalty yards on defense and 114 infractions! This not all the defense's fault though they were probobly worn because about halfway through the year the Titan's O was #32 in time of possesion per game and in most games the defense was on field for more than 34 minutes!

Joel, this sounds like interesting news, but the way you wrote it wasn't very clear. When you type these blogs, you should read it again, to make sure you say it clearly. I think you left out a few words, like when you said "... was on You Tube even before the game back from commercial back."
ReplyDeleteStill, the Titans do need a lot of work. The answer for teams this seasons seems to be, "fire the coach," but I doubt that will work out for everyone. What's next, if firing the coaches doesn't work? Do they fire the players? At some point, you just have to do the best you can with the people you have. That's my opinion. :)
