Titans Coaching Search: Mike Heimerdinger Interviews

It is probably true. I’ll grant that.

My issue stems from the fact that Dinger rarely found creative ways to get Vince on the move. Clearly, that was one of the biggest assets in Vince’s game.

Excellent offensive coordinators adapt to the personnel they are given, not the other way around. And, Dinger failed to do so with Vince.

In a much more extreme example from college, it’s the reason that RichRod fell on his face at Michigan, yet Malzahn finds success everywhere he goes. Smart offensive minds are constantly evolving their offensive systems to fit their personnel. Dinger hasn’t shown me he’s capable of doing so consistently.

Maybe this stems from conflict with Vince. Maybe Fisher hamstrung Dinger. I dunno. All I can go from is what I see on the field, and from that perspective, I’m not impressed.

To one of his guys in Dinger and telling him how to use Vince!
With that said I could definately see him going in there and telling him, Vince won’t be playing anymore this year, plan accordingly.

Otherwise, don’t you think he’d have been a lot more involved on the D, and up Cecil’s ass about it?

He’s got the Bellichek Hoodie on in this picture, so he’s got to be good right? Maybe if we can get him to cut the sleeves off all will be fine!

It would seem to be very hard for someone in his position to commit himself fully to being a HC.

is actually the all-time leader in stolen bases at my alma mater Eastern Illinois University. I’m conflicted on him as well, but it seemed like he was a hot candidate in previous seasons. I want the titans to interview Perry Fewell just cause i liked what he did in a short time with a bad bills team a few years ago. I’d be happy with Dinger, tho. I don’t know enough about Munchack enough to know how to feel about him.

and Munch can choose between moving up to OC or staying the O-line/running game guru.

Even if it was just for the sake of interviewing people, I would be a little more confident in the Titans choice then as in “at least they look at all best possible candidates for the position.”

can we get a better offensive coordinator?

and Dinger’s health permits, my preference would be Dinger at HC, promote Mike to OC, and go grab Bruce Matthews from the Texans and make him the OL position coach. Promotions for all, but nobody gets a two step promotion.

I think I’d prefer the “out-of-house” approach, because we really do need some new blood in the coaching department, but if it has to be a “reward loyalty to the franchise” type deal, the above seems best to me.

I like it. Hire him

O/T: Perusing his resume, it just struck me how much traveling around the country these coaches do. Having a military background, I’m sensitive to the “uprooting of the family” situations. No wonder these guys get stressed out.

is none of the guys got a sniff of interest outside of the organization as head coaching candidates, but they are good enough for the Titans. Dinger and McGinnis’s career are probably at their lowest points right now. I hope we see some outside top candidates interviewed in the next few days.
