Karma bites Fisher

Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher is fuming over the sudden loss of his running backs coach Kennedy Pola. USC head coach Lane Kiffin lured Pola away to become the offensive coordinator for the Trojans this fall. A move that leaves Fisher and his Titans without a running backs coach one week before training camp. Fisher went on record to call the act unprofessional and disappointing, stating that a courtesy call and explanation at the least was warranted. And while I too was tempted to vilify Kiffin and victimize Fisher, I remembered a quote my mother told me. "What's good for the goose, is good for the gander". Jeff Fisher fired his running backs coach Earnest Byner at the end of last season. A running backs coach who had a 2000 yard rusher and NFL offensive player of the year in Chris Johnson. A running backs coach who was also not given a reason for his release. To this day, Fisher's response to firing Byner and hiring Pola is that he couldn't pass up the opportunity. Well apparently neither could Kiffin. Sorry Jeff, what's good for the goose is good for the Trojans.
