An emotional Jeff Fisher says his former
quarterback Steve McNair was a "great person" who put the
Tennessee Titans franchise on the NFL map.
The Titans coach Monday called the slain quarterback one of the
"greatest competitors of all time on the field." Fisher said
McNair would want him to tell people McNair was sorry and wasn't
perfect.
Fisher was the only coach McNair had for the first 11 years of
his NFL career.
McNair was found shot to death Saturday, alongside 20-year-old
Sahel Kazemi in Nashville. Police have said McNair, a married
father of four, had been dating Kazemi.
The Titans coach had been in Iraq as part of an NFL trip last
week to visit the military. Eddie George told Fisher of McNair's
death during a stop in Kuwait.
