The atmosphere was so cordial at Titans headquarters Friday, it was hard to tell that Jeff Fisher was leaving the team.
Fisher stood behind the podium thanking everyone in the building before exiting with a wave. The Titans' top executives expressed their gratitude for Fisher's work over the years, then discussed how they will replace the coach after mutually agreeing they had reached a point where "it was time to move on" after 16 full seasons.
"It is just time for a change," Titans owner Bud Adams said Friday by telephone from his Houston office.
