Under Fisher's guidance, the Titans made six playoff appearances, won three division titles, played in two AFC Championship Games and in one Super Bowl. He posted a 142-120 record in 16 seasons with the Titans, and he guided the Titans into the franchise's only Super Bowl appearance during the 1999 season.

"It is an emotional thing for me," Fisher later said during a press conference. "You get in a groove doing things, and then all of a sudden something as great and as special as this is a reminder of everything that we did over the years. … You can't thank those people around you enough, all those that were behind the scenes.

"… The relationships and the experiences and the memories are all coming back and becoming a little overwhelming for me right now."

Brad Willis, Chief Advancement and Operations Officer for the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, delivered the news to Fisher on air as his long-time buddy, former Titans assistant and current Titans Radio analyst Dave McGinnis, looked on with a smile. Fisher's wife, Julie, also surprised her husband in studio.
