The following catfight took place on Twitter Thursday afternoon:

 

Matt Hasselbeck: “Somebody ask Cromartie if he knows what CBA stands for.”

 

Hasselbeck then deleted the tweet in question.

 

Shortly thereafter, Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie—who recently made his thoughts known regarding the current state of the labor dispute between the league and the union—tweeted the following:

 

“@Hasselbeck hey Matt if u have something to then say it be a man about it. Don't erase it. I will smash ur face in.”

I love this. Being a Seahawks guy I can tell you that Matt Hasselbeck is a great interview to watch. He is always on top of things and quite witty. I doubt this is the last of this.

Wow. When they let Vince Young go, I thought that meant Fisher was safe.

 

Wow, something must have come up with Bud Adams. Wonder what Dew's thoughts are?

I love where this is going. Please make a joke about all his kids. Instead he has apologized.

Shocked, most definitely. Once it was announced VY was out and Fisher was staying, I figured that'd be a definite thing. Apparently, though, Fisher wasn't heeding to Bud enough on coaching moves and Bud finally blew up. It's being speculated by Titans beat writers that Bud made the decision after Fisher wanted to hire his son, Brandon, as offensive quality control coach.

 

I hate to see Fisher go, but making a move this year is likely to provide some stability (something this organization really needs) if Reinfeldt/Adams make a good hire. Problem is, I'm hearing a whole lot of really bad names. I doubt Cowher and Gruden are in play and I'm almost certain Dungy isn't (though he'd be far and away my first choice). Names I've heard include guys like Gregg Williams, Jim Mora Jr, Jim Zorn, Marty Morhniweg, Mike Sherman and others. Outside of Williams I really don't like any of those names and I'm not excited about Williams.

 

My preference: Marty Schottenheimer. Almost certainly won't happen, but I'd be pretty thrilled if Bud hired Marty on a short term basis and brought in Brian Schottenheimer (he's the Jets OC, right?) as the OC and head coach in waiting (not as excited about this, but it may help draw Marty out of retirement).

 

As for my realistic favorite: Steve Mariucci. I don't know that he wants to leave the NFL Network, but GM Mike Reinfeldt has Holmgren/GB ties and if he knows Mariucci it may help to prod him out of retirement. He's a retread, but it sounds like we're getting a retread one way or the other. If we are, he's probably the best. Double digit wins in 4 of 6 seasons in San Fran - he was terrible in Detroit, but that's Detroit (sorry sneakypower).

every team that just hired a new head coach should fire him and go after fisher.

 

also, the chargers should rescind norv turner's vote of confidence and bring in fisher.

 

That would be the best decision AJ Smith ever made. No chance he makes it though. I figure Fisher will sit out a year, wait for the new CBA and then let teams bid for him next year.

It did, until Bud got pissed again. Sounds like the VY decision won't be retracted, though, so we're looking for a QB and head coach now.

In case anybody cares -

 

Jim Wyatt tweets:

 

Early indications are offensive line coach Mike Munchak could be in line to replace Fisher #titans

 

Not thrilled if this is the hire. Great OL coach, but never even been a coordinator. Better than most of the retreads, though.

 

"It's time for me to rest, and fish," Fisher said. "I have total peace about this right now." #titans

 

While Fisher's desire to hire his son Brandon was a point of contention, it was just a part of the decision to go separate ways #Titans

The bigger issue was this, as I reported in my story: According to sources, Fisher had his assistants sign one-year extensions in December

Multiple sources said roughly a dozen assistants signed, only front office didn't know about it until this week. It didn't go over well

The Titans had six winning seasons in 16 seasons under Jeff Fisher. That's not very good.

 

Not good at all, but consider we were in salary cap hell for 3-4 of those years and the first 2-3 years of his tenure, he inherited a horrid team. The records were always pretty inconsistent, but a lot of that was player development and having the right personnel more than coaching. There were very few years I felt like the team underperformed significantly what it should do and far more times they outperformed what they should have done.

 

If you bring in a good GM and don't give complete personnel power to Fisher, I think he'd be a great hire. He's still better than most anyway.

given 16 years, plenty of loser coaches would be bound to have some successes with one franchise. i think you're making a lot of excuses for him.

Just what I've seen from the perspective of a Titans fan. Overall fans view Fisher much more negatively than I think he ought to be, but I can certainly understand where they're coming from. His record is what it is, though I think he's better than it indicates.

 

It's a little like my view on Hendry as a GM – there just aren't that many great ones out there. Fisher isn't up there with Marty Schottenheimer, Belichick, Dungy, etc., but he's much better than most head coaches in the league.

Titans have already interviewed OL coach Mike Munchak and OC Mike Heimerdinger for the head coaching vacancy. Up next are Falcons OC Mike Mularkey (former Bills HC I believe) and Giants DC Perry Fewell.

 

Munchak is still apparently the strong frontrunner to get the job and I doubt that changes.
