NFL Rumors: 10 Replacements for Tennessee Titans' Jeff Fisher

Some may be unlikely, but it is interesting to look at all the possibilities at this stage.

Sherman is the former receivers coach for the Dallas Cowboys, and he was heavily rumoured to be in the running for the Titans job after announcing he would not be returning to the Cowboys in 2011, and ESPN even reported he would be interviewing for the position.

Sherman has told the Tennesseean however, that he is yet to be contacted for an interview, so it seems fairly unlikely at this stage that Sherman will be picked up by the Titans. 

Williams is the former head coach of Buffalo, and it was considered a great coup when the New Orleans Saints managed to snatch him up. He was so desired by the Saints that head coach Sean Payton took a voluntary pay cut. 

It has been reported recently that Williams has taken his name out of contention for the mantle of Titans coach, but we won't know for sure until it is announced officially. 

What is preventing Cowher going to the Titans is not the team's lack of interest as they would be crazy not to want him, but rather his lack of interest in coaching NFL again, and also in the Titans as a team.

Cowher's name has been thrown around in every head coach vacancy since his break from the NFL, but the Titans seem an unlikely option for him as he would be second to the head office, and they don't have a great quarterback like he would prefer. 

While Capers has a fairly abysmal head coaching record he has been excellent in recent years, first with the New England Patriots and now as defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers.

Sports Illustrated has reported he may be interested in the job, though having to undertake a rebuilding project at his advanced age may be too much of a problem.

Mangini has been the head coach for both the Jets and the Browns, though was fired by Mike Holmgren from the Browns in ignominy after two consecutive 5-10 seasons. 

This being a fact, it is unlikely he will pick up the head coach job at the Titans, though it has been rumoured he is the front runner to replace departing defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil.

Fewell has been a coach or administrator since 1985, and tasted glory for a short period in 2009-2010, as the interim head coach for the Buffalo Bills, for whom he had formally been the defensive coordinator.

Despite being looked over for a number of head coaching interviews earlier this off season, he was vocal in an attempt to get the opportunity to interview for the top Titans job.

Perry Fewell may be just a Rooney Rule requirement, but he is passionate and has something to prove which may be good qualities for a new head coach.

He would have to be considered a distant front-runner, because while he has the advantage of knowing Tennessee's system inside and out, and would therefore not create to much of a stir, he has only ever coached as an offensive coordinator and never a head coach in his eleven years of experience. 

He was forced to relinquish his duties for a time on November 24th 2010 in order to undergo chemotherapy for cancer. He has to be considered a long shot at this point.

Mularkey is the former head coach of the Buffalo Bills, and gave the team their last winning season to date. He resigned due to differences regarding to the future of the organisation. He is currently the offensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons, though it is rumoured he is interested in returning to head coaching again.

He is considered a fair but hard nosed coach, who will bring his second to none work ethic, and 17 years NFL experience, to whatever position he decides to take.

Early in his career he was embroiled in controversy, as the Chicago Bears announced he would be their next head coach before the details of the contract were worked out, and he ended up declining future consideration. So hopefully the same thing doesn't happen with the Titans.

He is the current linebackers coach, though was the head coach for the Arizona Cardinals, he compiled a fairly awful win/loss record of 17-40. This aside, he understands the Tennessee system and he has an active  

Munchak is the current offensive line coach for the Titans, and has been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame for his time playing with the Houston Oilers. His team with Bruce Matthews is considered one of the greatest offensive line tandems in history.

Munchak presents a great argument to be head coach, as he will be able to incorporate his own style subtly, already being familiar with the former coaches style, and it shouldn't be too jarring a change over for players. 

He has great credentials, has been with the team for fourteen seasons, so should also provide a great stable force within the Titans, when they need it most.
