Jeff Fisher OUT as Titans HC

It's not spin. If our schedule was a cupcake schedule because of the NFC West, we did our part by beating those teams. We lost to the good teams on our schedule and our division rivals. Which is a problem, I'm not arguing that. But the cupcake part, we did what we were supposed to do.

Which part of the schedule was the cupcake part? I'll assume that would be Denver, Tennessee, Washington, Jacksonville, Oakland & Dallas (since they're the teams 500% or worse). Houston's record was 4-4 against those teams, which is not what you're supposed to do to the cupcake part of the schedule.

As a kid I remember the Oilers being terrible until Glanville came along. Sure he pulled some ridiculous stunts here and there but there were good things too. Buying tickets to avoid blackouts is something I remember happening quite a few times.

Of coure you have the defense and the House of Pain Astrodome that he brought about. The hitlists in the locker room, the attitude, as I remember teams weren't very fond of coming to the Dome to play.

I'm not trying to defend Bud by any means, I just don't like people acting like Glanville sucked so bad and leaving out the good spots.

My family moved to Houston from Corpus in '88 when I was 12. I cut my NFL-watching teeth and Oilers fandom during those Glanville years. Those are some pretty good memories. Things seemed to turn into a circus in later years with Pardee, etc. and Buddy Ryan taking on Kevin Gillbride.

There’s no joy in Glanville. In their first at-bat, the coach ordered his Houston Oilers to try an unorthodox, surrealistic play. They hoped it would catch the Denver Broncos snoozing.

Houston lined up in a three-part offense, a weird configuration with receivers split wide left and wide right behind two little walls of seemingly displaced linemen.

The stunt would’ve worked if the Oilers had field position better than their own 4-yard line. And if Mike Rozier hadn’t fumbled the football. And if Denver’s defense had simultaneously suffered six heart attacks and five strokes.

But, instead of shocking the Broncos, the Oilers shot themselves in the boot. Jerry Glanville’s trickery turned to slop, and a Sunday tone was set for Houston disaster.

9 minutes into it Bruce Mathews talking about it LOL

I thought it was interesting that at round 2:30 - 2:40 he talks about being the masters of the end of the season, winning at the end to give hope for next season.

Sound familiar?

I'm sure it's been said in the 11 pages, but yeah, maybe Fisher and Cecil being gone means the Titans won't be dirty, cheapshotting punk bitches anymore. At least maybe not as bad.


....wishful thinking, but hey
