Vince Young, Jeff Fisher Told to Settle Dispute
Titans owner Bud Adams isn't choosing between his quarterback or his coach. He has told both Vince Young and Jeff Fisher to "get this thing settled" and work together.
The Tennessean reported Monday that Adams has talked to all involved and told them to get back to work.
Young bolted the stadium after exchanging words with Fisher after a 19-16 overtime loss to Washington on Sunday in which Young tore a flexor tendon in his right thumb on his throwing hand.
Vince Young Meltdown: Should Titans Dump QB?
Adams says this will all go away pretty quick. Young is under contract through 2011 and due $8.5 million. Adams says Young will be back because he wouldn't want to let him go. Fisher is under contract through 2011 also, and Adams says that is why you have contracts.
"They are going to have to work together. I haven't given up on Vince, and I am sure Fisher hasn't either," Adams told the newspaper by phone from his office in Houston. "Vince was upset and said some things he regretted after doing it, but you have to get to the bottom of it, straighten it out and move on.
"It is one of those things that happened. It has happened, it is all over with and we want to get Vince back and playing again for us. … These things happen. I have been at this thing for a long time, about 51 years now. I have seen a lot of things happen and I don't want to go jumping off the building over something happening one time."
