Bo Knows Vince
Yes, the Carnival is unapologetically rooting for Vince Young.
He's our boy.
We want him to succeed because he gave many of us our best spectator sports moment. He was able to slay a putative dynasty and his own playbook. He restored pride in our storied and beloved program, something sorely missing right now.
Sure, he can handle some things better than he has to date but at this point it seems that the press whoring despot in NashVegas is actively working against the guy, who like, saved his job last year. Irony!
Enter Longhorn Bo Scaife, who tactfully eviscerates Coach Fish.
Tight end Bo Scaife admitted some players have hard feelings about Young's actions after the Nov. 21 loss to the Redskins, when he cursed Coach Jeff Fisher in front of the team and left the locker room abruptly.
"I know his teammates definitely want him here," Scaife said Wednesday. "The more I think about that, I guess the locker room might be divided up. But I know all the guys on my side (offense), we all love VY."
Kenny Britt will help towel off anybody who gets a bit lathered up.
Kenny was promptly fined five grand for his show of solidarity.
Scaife, one of the quarterback's closest friends, said he believes Young doesn't feel welcome.
"I think Jeff has probably given that impression to him," Scaife said. "That is between him and Coach Fish, and no one knows what is going on between them two. But if people knew the real story they might understand the situation a little better."
Seriously, these guys are putting the fun back in dysfunction.
Apparently, Vince stopped by but didn't palaver with Fish.
Isn't Bud Adams the guy who was flipping people off out of his luxury box? What happens to this situation? Does one stay? Do both leave? If they both stay, I'm going to buy the franchise just so I can fire Fisher.
Really would like to see VY get a few chances before his legs age much more.

Can you buy ESPN too and fire Paul Kuharsky? If you want an unabashed Vince hater, that’s your guy. Probably a byproduct of having his head so far up Fisher’s ass he tastes his breakfast first.

Anyone know how Jeff Fisher fired former offensive coordinator Norm Chow?
wait for it……
wait for it…..
…by telephone.
Anyone remember why Jeff Fisher wouldn’t accept Vince Young’s text apology after he told him he wasn’t welcome at the Titans complex? Because men handle important things man-to-man. In person.
Number of media who have called Fisher out on this?
ZERO

Scip,
I hadn’t heard that about Chow but it doesn’t surprise me, nor does the hypocrisy of Fisher. I’m also not suprised that the media has said nothing. They’re like government propoganda there. I remember the kind of things they were writing and saying about VY when he was benched in ‘08. Then when he saves Fisher’s ass last year you think they admitted they were wrong? Of course not, instead they just credit Fisher for having made Vince better during that time and for putting him back in.
I always have and always will love VY (in a manly sort of way) for bringing me my most cherished moments as a sports fan. Memories I had waited 35 years for. For that and just the way he played the game I can’t imagine anyone will replace him as my favorite Longhorn.

Though I hope VY gets another chance I hope it’s somewhere else. The media and a lot of the fans treated him like shit and have not appreciated what he’s done. Even without Fisher I’m not sure that would be the best environment for VY. If he stays and Fisher goes there will be a lot of media and fans that will blame VY and give him no chance to succeed.

maninblack,
Wow. I’d never looked up his record. How in the heck does a guy keep his job for 17 years with only 6 winning seasons.
You would think an owner would have to be insane to keep someone like that for that long. Oh wait. Nevermind.

I hope he goes to a team that’s on the brink. A place that just needs a decent QB. I personally hope that he lands in Minnesota. Even if Fisher is out, I don’t trust this team. I think Minnesota is the perfect fit. I have no idea whether it’s a possibility. Their D is alright. They have a good RB, so I hear. WRs? Check. Crossing my fingers that it’s a team with potential and not, err, a Buffalo.

oh heck, VY could probably make Buffalo work… they’ve actually got a few pretty decent skill players – Fred Jackson, Steve Johnson and maybe Spiller. The bottom line is that Vince needs to end up with a coach who actually wants him. That passive/aggressive crap Fisher has been putting him through has surely worn on him.
I’d love to see him in Minnesota though. There’s definitely some talent there that he could fit in with.
It’s sobering to think how much a player’s NFL success is dependent on situation and coaching though. Had anyone other than Bill Walsh been the young Joe Montana’s coach, Joe would have been a backup for a few years and maybe bounced around a team or two, where they’d praise his attitude and ‘cerebral’ qualities, but spend most of their time focusing on what he DIDN’T have – the perfect size, the requisite arm strength to throw a 20-yard out. He lucked out and ended up playing for the one coach who just didn’t include any 20-yard outs in his playbook and used the things he did well.
Someone like Fisher would have kept Steve Deberg and talked about how he had the very qualities a professional quarterback needed… Montana would be selling life insurance somewhere in the midwest, discreetly flashing his Notre Dame ring every chance he got, the 49ers would have a handful of moderately successful years sprinkled in with a long string of mostly .500 seasons, and the local press would all gush about their good-guy coach and just how many years he’d maintained that level of adequacy…

Vince fucking sacked up and sent an apology that he didn’t need to send. Then Fisher said “nuh uh, not good enough!”.
Seriously, did Vince fuck a daughter of his or something? I’m not joking, there must be something there along those lines.

“Wow. I’d never looked up his record. How in the heck does a guy keep his job for 17 years with only 6 winning seasons.”
Don’t look now, but seems like Houston is going down the same road. Kubiak will have 1 barely winning season in 5 years and looks like the owner isn’t even thinking of making a change.
That’s what happens when you hire an Aggie when a huge number of your team’s fans are Aggies. They’d rather give him unlimited years and hope he eventually falls backwards into the playoffs than ever admit an Aggie has failed.

VY was never wanted by Fisher, that’s the main problem. Fisher has been in the same job for too long and has grown stagnant and entitled. Adams needs to nut up about who runs the team, VY or JF. Winning % clearly favors VY. I don’t deny that Vince needs a bit of maturation, but the bottom line is wins and VY delivers. I hope that Vince gets a ‘true, unbiased’ chance, but think that he may need a change of venue to truly blossom. I hope he gets it, in Minny or (with Fisher gone) in Tenn. More talented than Vick. Just let VY play. Hopefully he works as hard in pre-game preparation as possible, then blows shit up like we know he can. A singular talent that can dominate if the staff and team believe in him. I wish him all the success in the world.
Hook ’Em!

Bud Adams has been senile, by the literal definition, since about 1990. I kid you not. I am absolutely certain he only knows what someone has told him and that he has been able to cling to under that rug on his dome.

He would rather go 0-6 than admit he was wrong and put in the man who could save his season.
VY forever

“But if people knew the real story they might understand the situation a little better." Bo’s way of saying that the media has no clue what it’s talking about?
I also thought that MG’s quote about people needing to let go of their egos was telling. It was clear he meant that Fisher and the coaches needed to turn the team over to Vince and get out of his way. Fisher cares much more about control than winnning. In what has always been a “win or go home” league, his ability to keep his job when winning isn’t and never has been his first priority is mind numbing.
Winning is the ONLY priority for VY. Always has been, always will be. It is why we are so enamored with him. He wants to win more than anybody and he delivers. Fisher really doesn’t care about winning, he can’t possibly relate to someone like VY that is consumed with winning games. Oil and water, the very worst place Vince could have landed, a franchise that is so complacement that 6 winning years in 17 seasons doesn’t get you fired.

Between this and Mike Shanahan’s asshattery with Donovan McNabb, I’m beginning to wonder what’s going on in the NFL.
by Bateshorn on Dec 19, 2010 7:03 AM CST reply actions
I think the sad truth is what has already been stated. Fish wins 54% of the time and that keeps the fans off of adams mostly , while bud keeps making money. I was on my way down to visit with my parents near houston, and had a good opportunity to listen in on houston sports for the first time in a while. Everybody seems to be complaining about how Mcnair is not going to fire kubiak. Reliant is always sold out and kubiak is under contract. why should he fire him, mcnair is making big money. there are only a few owners that truly care about winning and put it even close to the $$ as far as priority. Adams is a joke, but with 2011 being a possible work stoppage, he won’t do anything.

And now Bo is a “healthy scratch” for todays game.

Fisher strikes again. Bo was listed as inactive this week after scoring two touchdowns last week and practicing all week. The official reason is that they need to get jared cook on the field.
I’m thinking maybe there are other reasons.
How do you spell “vendetta”? Isn’t it F I S H E R?
by Bob on Dec 19, 2010 1:02 PM CST reply actions
Maybe this explains Bo Scaife’s healthy scratch from the game yesterday. So much for TE who caught touchdown(s) the week before…?

Fisher has never liked VY. I don’t think Fisher wanted to draft VY but Bud Adams picked him and so Fisher has been sabotaging VY’s career from the start. Sure, VY could have handled things better, but the truth is that VY doesn’t want to lose and wants to WIN. And, he knows that Fisher is trying to undermine.
Fisher is a douchebag and I really hope that VY gets out of there.
Did any of you see Fisher’s interview before last week’s game? Talk about uncool, unprofessional and childish. Fisher sat there and disparaged VY and then said that VY was treated no diffrently than anyone else on injured reserve and was welcome at the facilities like everyone else-BUT he said it is probably in VY’s best interest NOT to come because all the players are mad at him. . yeah right. What an arrogant narcissist. Deon Sanders called B.S. on that and said that he doesn’t think Fisher is right because he had talked to some players and they were very divided and some were very angry at Fisher for his repeated attacks on Vince.
Why is it that Collins can throw 3 int. in a game and be the starter, but VY has one bad pass and he is yanked? Fisher is full of shit. I support VY 100% and I hope he gets the hell out of there.
