Jeff Fisher, the longest tenured coach in the NFL, is out in Tennessee. The Titans released a statement Thursday evening saying: "The Tennessee Titans and Jeff Fisher have agreed to part ways and Fisher will no longer be the head coach of the team." The move comes as a surprise because Titans owner Bud Adams released a statement Jan. 7 which confirmed Fisher would return to the team. A news conference will be held either later Thursday night or Friday to discuss the first coaching change since the franchise relocated to Tennessee from Houston in 1997.

The owner announced two days later that he would be keeping Fisher, leaving the coach to head into the 2011 season needing a playoff berth.
