Tennessee Titans: It's Time for the Titans to Get a Nicer Ring of Honor
The Tennessee Titans announced on Tuesday that the franchise will induct former head coaches Jeff Fisher (Houston Oilers and Titans, 1994-2010) and Bum Phillips (Oilers, 1975-1980), and former general manager Floyd Reese into its Ring of Honor during the 2021 season.

The Tennessee Titans announced on Tuesday that the franchise will induct former head coaches Jeff Fisher (Houston Oilers and Titans, 1994-2010) and Bum Phillips (Oilers, 1975-1980), and former general manager Floyd Reese into its Ring of Honor during the 2021 season.
All three are integral figures in the history of the Titans franchise and well-deserving of this honor.
There's just one problem, though: the Titans' Ring of Honor looks really, really bad.
Whereas most NFL teams have a Ring of Honor that's aesthetically pleasing and unique, the Titans' resembles something you could find at your local little league baseball park.
The Titans' physical Ring of Honor currently exists as a series of Office Depot-quality banners hung on the red railing at the top of Nissan Stadium. It's become a bit of a running joke among Titans fans and reporters.
Luckily, it appears as though improvements could be coming soon.
The Titans organization is gearing up for a major renovation to Nissan Stadium. Some season ticket members have been sent surveys asking their preferences for various aspects of the gameday experience as well as mockups.
It figures that a new, nicer Ring of Honor will be part of the renovation.
That renovation is probably at least a couple of years away, though, and the trio of Fisher, Reese and Phillips will be honored in just a couple of months.
It would be nice if the Titans could do something to their Ring of Honor before they officially add to it.
