Sportsbook – Titans say so Long to Vince Young betting . The Tennessee Titans were a failure this past season both straight up and against the sportsbook online odds at the sportsbook. Owner Bud Adams has made some changes, the first of which is getting rid of quarterback Vince Young. The Titans decided that they could not keep both Young and head coach Jeff Fisher so it was Young who got the pink slip.
Coach-Quarterback Controversy
It was obvious to everyone except Adams that Young and Fisher could not co-exist. Adams thought that things could be worked out but there was no denying that this season would be the last for one of them with Tennessee. Adams was convinced by general manager Mike Reinfeldt and executive VP/general counsel Steve Underwood that Young had to go. Adams had been a supporter of Young since the team drafted him in 2006 but after his antics this season it was hard to come to his defense. Adams learned that Young was a divisive influence in the locker room and not a player that people could support. Young had about four or five players who supported him but the rest wanted him out. It was so bad that many players would have requested a trade if the team had kept Young. Many players said that Young still was not even capable of calling plays in the huddle and that he wouldn’t do the work necessary to be a quality NFL quarterback. It is widely known that Adams demanded that the team select Young back in 2006 even though many in the organization didn’t believe it was a good decision.
Fisher Likely to Return
The Titans are probably not going to make a coaching change now that Young is gone. Fisher is highly respected around the league and would be offered a job in an instant if the Titans let him go. Adams also doesn’t want to make a coaching change with all of the labor uncertainty facing the league next season. Fisher has one year left on his current contract. Now that Young is out it is almost a given that Fisher will return next year. Tennessee slipped to 6-10 this past NFL sportsbook season but many people around the league believe the Titans just need a quality starting quarterback to be in the playoffs next season. Tennessee was 8-8 this season against the sportsbook online NFL odds at Sbg global.com.
