Jeff Fisher is the longest currently tenured NFL head coach, guiding the Oilers/Titans since 1994 so his loyalty to the franchise really shouldn't be questioned. However, he did make the bizarre choice while attending a charity event, Rally for Rocketown at Lipscomb University.

Fisher arrived on stage to introduce his friend and former Colts head coach Tony Dungy and wore a Peyton Manning Colts uniform.

While apparently people in Tennessee are calling for Fisher's head now, I think first everyone needs to recognize that it was a charity event and a joke, even if Fisher told the crowd, "I just wanted to feel like a winner."

The man has ably served the Titans organization and isn't likely to purposefully embarrass the franchise. That said, I don't think we'd ever see Bill Belichick, or Tom Coughlin or Bill Cowher ever do anything like this.

I'm not sure what kind of message this sends along to the Titans players, although, considering how miserably they've played, I'm sure they can appreciate the sentiment of wanting to be a part of something successful. Especially considering this past week's demolishing at the hands of the Patriots.
