"This town was not big enough for Jeff Fisher and Vince Young.

Now it remains to be seen whether either returns for the 2011 season.

Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams said Wednesday afternoon, via a statement released by the team, that quarterback Vince Young no longer will be the quarterback.

In the same statement, though, Adams declined to endorse Fisher's expressed desire to remain coach of the team.

Adams' statement:

"As you are aware, we have been engaged in a series of internal discussions over the last month about the future of our football team. We have two critical decisions to make — the direction of the coaching staff and the future at the quarterback position. They are separate issues to me and will be dealt with separately.

"Today, I informed our general manager Mike Reinfeldt to move forward with plans to begin the process of identifying the next quarterback for our franchise. He will inform Vince Young's agent that Vince will not be on our roster next season. I want to offer my personal thanks to Vince for all of his positive contributions to the club. These kinds of decisions are never easy and this is especially true for this particular player. I certainly wish that things would have worked out better, but I think it is best for the franchise that we move on at this point.

"I also informed Jeff (Fisher) today that I was continuing the evaluation of the coaching staff and I am hoping to make a decision soon.""
