Titans head coach Jeff Fisher has since publicly admitted that Volek was not honest with his team and this could be the reason for his trading. Fisher is quoted to have said “He was untruthful with me, untruthful with his head coach, about where he was and what he was doing. So we started off on the wrong page there, and that did not sit well with me.” The whole trade is thought to be chaotic, and while Fisher has been critical of Volek because he lied to him Fisher isn’t revealing the truth behind the story, and has instead stated that Volek didn’t take advantage of his opportunities after being been told that he was going to be the quarterback.

He also scored his first touchdown of the year on a one-yard quarterback sneak which allowed the Chargers to win the game, 28–24, and go to the 2007 AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots.
The year 2004 saw him became 4th quarterback NFL history — along alongside Dan Marino, Dan Fouts and Phil Simms to pass over 400 yards during two games. This feat was also done during 2008 with New England Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel In 2011, with Tom Brady and Cam Newton and in 2018 , by Ryan Fitzpatrick. The news was released on the 17th of December, 2004 that Volek would be the quarterback in the starting lineup for the remainder this season with the Titans and would replace injury-stricken Steve McNair.
