Jeff Fisher anyone?

The Titans have seemingly defied the odds for years now. Somehow, Jeff Fisher always has this mix of a walking mass care ward and NFL scrubs inches from the Super Bowl. Here's a guy who either outcoaches or gets more out of his players than any other NFL coach... or both.

Still, this could be the year that the Titans finally fall to earth. Who knows - with Fisher, it seems that anything is possible, and they could be back in the playoffs. But if you look at this team, aside from McNair, there really isn't a single player that makes you raise your eyebrows.

What if they crash and burn this year (finally)? Would Fisher's success allow him to keep his job, or would a team that seems to desperately need to rebuild finally part ways and go in a new direction with their team? Is it possible?

Enter the New Orleans Saints. A team standing in almost complete contrast to the Titans. Inconsistent, underachievers, overly talented, mediocre (with no playoffs in the last 3 years). There is a distinct possibility that the Saints struggle again this year and Haslett gets run out of town faster than Devery can cover 40 yards.

Might we have a fit in '05? Can you imagine what Fisher would do with a team this talented? A true defensive mind with an ability to get the most out of his players and overcome injuries. The thought is as intoxicating as far-fetched... but maybe, just maybe...

Let the first conspiracy of the year begin... and it wasn't even 08 that created it! ;)
