Fisher wears a Colts jersey "to feel like a winner"

The Titans and Colts are division rivals, so this would indeed be the equivalent of John Fox putting on a Saints or Falcons jersey "to look like a winner".

If the Panthers were 0-6 at this point in the season after starting 10-0 and finishing 13-3 last season, I would hope that Fox would have the balls to do something like that... mind you, he doesn't and wouldn't, but if the Titans aren't embarrassed already after this start, then maybe seeing their coach rub their noses in it will help. To steal the premise of a line from Fast & Furious, "Suck it up. This ain't the boy scouts."

To steal the premise of a discussion from Colin Cowherd, "Being the head coach isn't about the X's and O's. It's about motivating your players."

I'm sure there are quite a few people on here that disagree with Fisher doing this. Me, personally, I love it. Keep your candy ass kid gloves. I'll take the tough love approach every time.

I'd love to see Zorn wear a Giants jersey and say that.

Which brings up a salient point.

To get away with something like this, you'd have to have some clout as a head coach. Zorn would be crucified because he's never accomplished anything as a head coach that would give him enough respectability to pull off such a stunt.

And yeah, personality matters too. This isn't the kind of thing I could ever see Fox pulling. Given Fox's usual MO, I seriously doubt this would work for him.

But what about Fisher?

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
