Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams has changed his stance regarding coach Jeff Fisher.
A few weeks removed from a blowout loss to the New England Patriots followed by Adams suggesting he would look into his coach's status after the season, now Adams sounds like he wants to keep Fisher in place for at least a few more seasons.

“He’s under contract here for several years," Adams said. "We just don’t let guys go earlier than their contracts [when it comes to] coaches."
Fisher is the NFL's longest-tenured coach and is under contract for two more seasons after this year.
As for Adams' edict that Fisher start Vince Young over Kerry Collins, Adams said he simply needed to know what Young can do going forward.
“I talked to Coach Fisher and said Collins is not doing as well as I thought he should be doing and we’ve got to find out about Vince because his contract is coming up for renewal,” Adams said.
“We’ve got to find out how he has developed in the last two years. He hasn’t played that much.
"We’ve got to get him in and find out what he can do. Otherwise, we’re gonna have a high draft choice, and we’d better be looking for another quarterback.”
