After reflecting upon the tumultuous events of Sunday's overtime loss that culminated with him walking out on the Titans, quarterback Vince Young texted coach Jeff Fisher with an apology Tuesday for his actions and words.

Fisher confirmed for reporters Wednesday that he received the text, which came a day after Young was asked to leave the Titans' facility because he was not welcome at a team meeting.

Asked if Fisher rather would have the apology occur face-to-face, the coach said, "You guys draw that conclusion."

"I'm not a real big text guy. I'm not really into this new-age stuff," Fisher said. "I don't Twitter or tweet. But I think face-to-face is a man thing, OK?"

Asked if a text was better than no apology at all, Fisher said: "Someone could have grabbed his phone."

In the text, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that Young thanked Fisher for the opportunity to play for the Titans and wished him and the team good luck for the rest of the season. Young ended the text by asking Fisher to have more faith and confidence in him moving forward, and said that they each wanted the same thing -- to win a Super Bowl.

Young needs season-ending surgery to repair a flexor tendon in his right thumb, which he injured in the third quarter of a 19-16 loss to Washington.

Things became even messier for Young and the 5-5 Titans after that.

Young, who tossed his pads into the stands while leaving the field, got into a heated exchange with Fisher and stormed out of the stadium.

Fisher confirmed that he instructed Young to leave the team's facility Monday because he was not welcome at the squad meeting that was held to discuss the quarterback's volatile standing with the team.
