According to a recent feature story in Sports Illustrated, former NFL quarterback Vince Young had a tough relationship with Jeff Fisher.

The story discusses how the Titans, then coached by former Rams head coach Fisher, needed a quarterback — much like the Rams did before they drafted Jared Goff. Tennessee worked out Jay Cutler, Matt Leinart and Young. According to reports, the Titans believed Young was the “third” of the three.

However, ownership liked Young and that was who the team decided to select in the draft. Much like in Los Angeles, the Titans started the year with a veteran quarterback, Kerry Collins, who struggled out of the gate. Fisher then gave the starting job to Young.

Almost a decade later, the writer details the poor relationship between Young and Fisher (via Sports Illustrated):

He may believe he’s moved on from what transpired in Tennessee, but broach the subject, and he appears angry, conflicted. “I’m going to expose his ass,” he says of Fisher, who he claims stripped all the fun from football, pushing Young until he broke. Whereas Brown had been the father figure Young always wanted, Fisher, he says, acted like someone saddled with an unwanted stepson. Family members, close friends, even Young’s pastor describe Fisher as “jealous” and “envious” of the QB.

Young doesn’t want to talk about his former coach and says he’s saving it for a book he plans to write. However, Young recalls anecdotes that include Fisher canceling meetings without telling him and another time when Fisher went fishing with Collins and ordered the team plane to leave without Young.

The most significant moment was a time Young came back to the Titans facility, and Nashville police as well as the team therapist were waiting for him, hearing from Fisher that Young was suicidal.

In the story, Young also comes off as immature and brutish at times. According to the former Titans quarterback, years letter he wrote a letter to Fisher to apologize. He never heard back.

While these stories aren’t directly related to the Rams, it’s still interesting to hear from a quarterback who played for Fisher.
