Owner takes credit for Vince Young shift Aaron Wilson
The Tennessee Titans are on a five-game winning streak.
Ever since Titans owner Bud Adams ordered coach Jeff Fisher to insert Vince Young at quarterback as the replacement for Kerry Collins, the Titans haven't lost a football game.
And Adams confirmed that it was his decision to play Young to the Tennessean.
"I don't get involved with the coaches," Adams said. "I made this move this time because I see we had lost six in a row and we had 21 of the 22 players that got us the best record in the NFL in 2008. I said, 'It is time to make a change right now.'"
Adams said he has nothing against Collins.
He just wanted to shake things up and had confidence in Young's abilities.
"Not that I was against [Collins], but Vince was ready to go in there and play and he's played like I thought he would play, too,' Adams said.
Meanwhile, Adams said his middle-finger salute days are over after being fined $250,000 for flipping off Buffalo Bills' fans.
"I don't use my fingers any more," he said. "I [went] a little bit crazy."

This is all fine and well... but if Vince was sucking and throwing INTs, would Adams say "It was all me. I'm the one who said replace Collins with Young."
NO. So who gives a crap who made "the decision".... because guess what? I decided to wear a hoodie and a rain jacket to the game last night, and I was hot as hell. So.... that was a bad decision on my part. My friend, however, wore a long-sleeved T-Shirt with a Titans jersey over it and did not sweat to death like me. So....that was a good decision on HER part. We made different decisions, and one worked and one didn't. So what? We both thought we had the right materials in order to have the perfect night at the game. Yet... we both still enjoyed the game. So who gives a crap? But if my friend Vickie holds a press conference, I'm gonna be mad as hell.
