Floyd Reese Resigns

[fromthetop2]

Titans have accepted the resignation of Floyd Reese. His contract was set to expire next month, and since negotiations have not proceeded in a positive manner, Reese decided to resign.

 

Steve Underwood said that Jeff Fisher would NOT be a candidate for the GM position in a press conference this afternoon.

 

Al Smith also was told his contract would not be renewed; which to me says that Bud was not happy with the scouting and drafting in recent years.

 

Thoughts??

Positive move, negative move, a plus for Fisher, a negative for Fisher?

Positive to both questions.

Positive move.Rumors had it that he and Coach Fisher didnt see eye to eye on issues and players as well as the fact that other than VY our picks over the last few years havnt panned out.

Very positive.

 

If it wasn't for Uncle Bud, we would have been watching Leinart this year instead of VY.

 

I really like Floyd but his picks during 2003-2004 was bone head. Sometimes Floyd paid too much for free agents that didn't pan out. I hope they would get the guy up at Philly. They seem to keep the talent rolling in while staying out of cap jail.

 

Good Luck to Floyd. He will land on his feet in the hot Miami sun.

Positive to both...

I think it started back a few years ago when Reece wanted to fire some of the asst. coaches and Fisher went to Bud and the coaches where kept.Fisher was then given the power of the coaching staff,who to hire and fire.

I agree. Looking at this tells me the the Titans could do a little better scouting for the draft.
