Jeff Fisher's departure of head coach of the Titans was hastened by a series of events, none more significant than the team's refusal to hire his son, Brandon, according to league sources. Fisher worked out an agreement with Titans owner Bud Adams this week whereby he will receive $8 million in severance to leave the organization. Two years ago, the Titans were pursuing Williams to be their defensive coordinator, but Williams wanted to work with his son, Blake, and the club would not allow it. Williams, who spent the bulk of career working on Fisher's staff, ultimately took less money to work with his son, who is earning a strong reputation around the league, in New Orleans.
