Up for Debate: Titans fire Chris Palmer
Monday, November 26, 2012 at 11:14pm
Are you shocked at the Tennessee Titans' decision to fire offensive coordinator Chris Palmer Monday evening? Do you think it's a good move for the team? What other changes should be made, and are there others you think should have been made before this one?

I guess everyone needs a scapegoat.
Need new owner.
Nemo - That should be the #1 preference & Munch #2, but not likely to happen. Firing 1 coordinator is NO help.
Will wonders never cease!! NEMO and I have found common ground.
I suppose firing both Offensive and Defensive Coordinators at the same time
would be too much of a single blow in one day. Being 24th in the league on
offense does show the need for this action. We'll see if newly acting
coordinator can help with the games left. We can forget about the upcoming
game with the very likely Super Bowl contender Houston.
No Rasputin, just you are common.
I think we need to fire the owner! He is the biggest problem!
Choosing the name Titan was a bad idea. The Titans were defeated by the Gods and in doing so, Adams seems to has doomed the team.
Good morning, Nashville.
This "story" is also covered here:

Is this news so earth-shaking that it deserves this much space and attention?
Me thinks not.
NEMO, I could think of even more words than common to differentiate the lifestyle between myself and the "SimpleSix"
I would start with, "few and far between"
I agree. Rasp is a con artist and Nemo is a good, hard working man that doesn't lie and take advantage of women. (Joy)
A change of ownership is what's in order.
Rasp - Don't you know anything? A**holes are not that rare, just look in a mirror.
Yawn......
The common troll retorts with his fantasy world mundane attempt at wit. Let the big ratputin naw.
Thank you for the nice words Blanket, but I am far from a saint, but I am certainly no Rasputin.
What a boring topic for the day! Yawn..................
Not if you are winning....
With the Titan's record for the past few seasons, what is that?
Captain Nemo, perhaps a name-change could help: The Tennessee Tight'uns?
It seems to be a coaching problem and the Defense has great stats. Either Munch or the Offensive Coordinator had to go. If it continues Munch will get his at the end of the season.
The worst Adams sin this year was sticking with CJ; but although inconsistent as always, he has put up a lot of yardage this year so what can you say?
This team seems to be going through ups and downs like a moody woman. They need a stronger head coach to lead and reign them in.
The Cumberland Coon-skinners?
Fans would wear Davy Crockett paraphernalia....coonskin caps etc.
PETA would protest at their games?
Ben used a saucy phrase: "like a moody woman"...and just what are you trying to incinerate, Ben Dover?
Loner, PETA doesn't actually have a stronghold here. The good ole boys would use them for target practice.
I see, Bn, if PETA is agin' 'em, Tennesseans are with 'em...a name change, from the Titans, to "The Cumberland Conn-skinners" could rally the fan base...and get rid of the jinx that comes with the current name.
Oy! The Cumberland Coon-skinners, that would be...need my meds...Conn makes a great saxophone, however.
How about the Tennesse Trailerparks?
Make Mitt Romney General Manager.. Mitt saved the Olympics...no?
The Nashville Mittarammerjammers.
Then they would be the TN Flippers.
Substitute unemployed Hockey players.
Hire Sandra Fluke as ''the moody women.''
I don't know, she'll need a strong head coach to rein her in.....
Mitt would ban the players wives birth control, creating aggressive play.
Munchak is paid to WIN. Period. He needs a winning team of coaches.
This Palmer guy is part of the team...a team which this year sucks. Last year was 8-8.
This year is worse.
Adams is how old? 89,...91....He'll pass the team off to his family if he has any sons.
His days are numbered.
He bet the farm he'd get Manning which blew up in his face.
And look at Denver.
Hasselbeck is too old and Locker is to frail and inexperienced.
It's the QB who makes a team win.
Oh, and Buenos Dias.
I can hear the play-by-play now...."Skinner's ball, first and goal..." , it just has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
The Cumberland Coon-Skinners....acronym: CCS....yep, that's a winning moniker, fer sure.
The name, "Tennessee Titans", is too boastful, IMO.... tough to back that up, year after year.....but "The Coon-Skinners" has the same sort of appeal as these other names: "The Packers"... "The Steelers"...."The Raiders"...they are all occupation-related.
Be proud of your coon-skinning heritage and be proud of the Cumberland....to me, that's Tennessee.
Hi Darge!
How's your mamma an' them?
I am a huge fan of NFL football. Very excited when Titans came to to town. First,I bought seats at the Club level. Then partnered with friends in one of the boxes. As I became more familiar with the Bud Adams franchise I sold my share of the box. I have never looked back.
I am not sure what nickname best suits this franchise, but their play very closely resembles
"Tennessee Trash"
And Buenos Dias, to you too, Darge...our West Coast correspondent...he's assimilating, but maintaining the ties to TN.
And Slack attacks with his own brand of online one-liners....now the board has livened up.
I remember thinking at some point in time that a stench had left LP field. Now I know, had to be when Raspy quit going, if he ever did.
BFRA.......Everything is a mystery to you. How long before 2 plus 2 equals 4 became commonplace in your mind?
Simple minds deal with 2 + 2!
ok..I'm bringing out the heavy artillery..Rachel Maddow player/coach
I'll see myself out..
They could call them the 'Nashville Predators', as no one is using that name at the moment.
Titans was chosen, like Predators, so the team could be moved on a whim without sacrificing any branding value or expenses.
It helps in extorting the sweetheart deals for public venues every couple of years.
Slacker - Is that because Maddow eats people live Rowe for breakfast? LOL
Hey Darge... I hear Cali is trending from a Meritocracy to a Mediocracy... and everyone is fleeing for Texas and Tennessee. what's the attraction?
Actually, Ben, both names were chosen to represent something unique with the city...the Titans related to Nashville's Greek connection (the "Athens of the South"...the Parthenon).
The Predators because they found that saber-tooth tiger fossil years ago.
I'd say it's about 50/50 that a team changes their name in the NFL. The Rams and Cardinals didn't change, the Oilers and Ravens did. You're much more likely to change your name in the NHL...Nordiques to Avs, Whalers to Hurricanes, etc.
Bud Adams,
It is time to fire the head football coach. He is not a good match for the Titians or Nashville and I've sure the other coaches will not shed a tear.
Actually, Ben, I thought that the name Tennessee Titans was chosen for its alliteration on the "T"'s....then there is the ideological link to the 1956 movie, "Giant", starring James Dean, which was all about discovering black gold...a "giant" is a synonym for a "titan"....that oil-suggestive name was a natural follow-up to the "Oilers"....another occupation-related name...after all, the Titans started out as the Houston Oilers, right?
Sadly, the SS Titanic was also named in honor of the Titans...the name does seem to be jinxed.
