| 23rd September, 2008 - 12:12 pm |  Tennessean - Merril Hoge of ESPN made comments last week about Titans' Coach Jeff Fisher and Vince Young during a radio interview, but Fisher said Monday that some of those remarks were 'incorrect'.
Later Monday night, Hoge said his remarks weren't intended to offend Young and tried to clear up some misunderstandings.
“I know people think that I hate Vince Young,” Hoge said. "I’ve never met Vince Young, and I don't want him to fail. I've been critical of him, but that's my job. Everything he has gone through, I hope he's able to work his way through it."
Speaking on a Pittsburgh station last week, Hoge said Fisher told him he “fought like crazy” to keep the Titans from selecting the Texas quarterback in the 2006 NFL Draft.
Hoge also said Fisher told him he was going to threaten to use the Texas offense if the Titans picked Young, “because he has no chance to run an NFL offense.’’ But on Monday Hoge said he was the one who told Fisher he should run the Texas offense if the Titans picked him. [READ] |
