Apparently, Jeff Fisher decided he had enough.And just as apparently, the Tennessee Titans decided they had, too.
Fisher, the Titans' coach since 1995, parted ways with the organization on Thursday, and Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reported that there were events in recent weeks that frustrated both sides.
Fisher, who the Titans announced would be retained shortly after the season, lost several assistant coaches in recent weeks, with defensive line coach Jim Washburn leaving for Philadelphia, running backs coach Craig Johnson leaving for Minnesota and defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil being fired.
With Fisher entering a lame-duck season, finding replacements was "an uphill battle," Wyatt cited sources as saying.
Wyatt also reported that the Titans' front office had become frustrated with Fisher's pace hiring replacemements. ESPN reported that Fisher had tried to hire his son, Brandon, as a quality control coach, and that that had been the deciding factor in the decision for Fisher to leave.
Fisher told Wyatt the report was "garbage."
