Paul K points out that Bud Adams is showing plenty of willingness to spend money by letting Munchak fire coaches with money left on their contract as he sculpts his first full coaching staff. Of course it's a little easier for Bud to stomach the 'extra' salary since it looks like Jeff Fisher got roughly the amount of those extensions takes out of his final settlement.
So we all know that Munchak is going to interview Jerry Gray, but my question is: What does it look like when Mike Munchak interviews a coaching candidate? When Gray walks in the office, is Munchak doing 600 lbs leg presses? I bet there's a large hammer and horned helmet in the corner, with a half eaten calf on a rotisserie spit over an open flame. Is the thermostat set on like 50˚? I need to know these things.
Kenny Britt is due in court tomorrow on a suit filed by two New Jersey bail bond companies who allege that Britt vowed in open court to pay a buddy's $12,500 bond fee, but later refused. No matter what the back story is here, there's no reason in the world that this should be a story. You could find a business manager who writes in crayon who would've stopped this from becoming a story. We can take some solace in the fact that it's old news being rehashed, but Kenny's got to keep himself more separated from his old buddies if he wants to make good on his claim to be completely focused and have a drama-free off-season.
By The Hammer of THOR!!!!!!!
The end of Dinger's tenure with the Titans should most-likely signal the end of Kerry Collins and Chris Simms' time with the team. Both guys were kept around for the past few years largely due to their familiarity with Dinger's system. If Munchack really does completely change the offensive philosophy there will definitely be plenty of other options who better fit the new scheme.
Toughest break in all of this for Heimerdinger is the timing: there aren't any other open spots on staffs that would be close to equal to what he did here. If I'm Dinger I sit this season out and focus on my family and health, especially if I can get any assurances from Jeff Fisher that I'm probably his first call when he gets a job in 2012.
CSN Washington tabs the Titans as one of the four most probable landing spots should the Redskins jettison Donovan McNabb. Granted I didn't watch most of the Redskins' games that led up to McNabb being benched, but Washington is one of those spots where you can usually forgive a veteran for running into problems... mostly because when your owner is a certified jackass, jackassery abounds.
Pretty much the entire defensive coaching staff for the Green Bay Packers, outside of coordinator Dom Capers, are getting looks from around the league after the stellar year they put together. The Titans would be wise to get in the mix for a few of them if Jerry Gray decides he can't screw over his alma mater by taking a job before he even coaches a down for the Longhorns.
Texans fans are sad that Bruce Matthews is headed to Nashville, but that sadness is off-set by the idea of us hiring Fred Bush. I'm pretty down on paying Bush to do a damned thing after the debacle that was Houston's defense last year, especially when our linebackers probably need the best position coach on the defense right now. That being said, it was mainly the Texans secondary that killed them, and Bush won't have any responsibilities related to that group with Jerry Gray in charge.
Wes Bunting takes a look at potential draft prospects who have significantly hurt their stock at the various all-star games that have taken place over the last few weeks. What did I take away from it? References to how a quarterback 'spins' the football has now replaced grading a guy's 'moxie' as my favorite BS term scouts love to use. I'm just waiting to see a draft profile where someone uses the phrase "I can project a lot of upside in how he spins the ball into tight windows." My brain hurts just writing that. It's not that those points are asinine, it's just the constant search for the hot phrase among scouts/draftnicks that cracks me up.

Are there other position coaches with no coordinator or head coach experience that have been hired as NFL head coaches? If so, how’d they do?

funny part is, he was the secondary coach before that, and they ended up 1st against the run and 32nd against the pass in that one season he was the DC.

Nope. They hired him to be the coordinator then immediately promoted him when they couldn’t find a head coach

Cable was a college head coach
and he got his NFL head coaching job as an interim coach. Tice was also an interim HC.
I thought we were talking NFL coordinator or head coaching experience.
Of which Cable had none before getting the Oakland job.

I wouldn't think it too uncommon
for a college head coach to get a job as an NFL head coach. The job is similar, just on a different level.

The paragraph on Munchak's hiring process could be the funniest thing I've ever read here.
Nicely done August.
Vince Young is the new politics and religion.
I think Munchak has done a pretty good job so far of changing the staff..
But defensively, what is he thinking? Gray, McGinnis, Bush aren’t exactly top choices around the league. Its likely that none of them will be DCs within the next two years, unless they are given ours.
On Kenny Britt, I really hope Munchak gets this kid’s head straight. Time to start making headlines for only your play, Kenny.

There are a LOT of guys from GB and Pitt getting interviews now, and I really don’t see why we don’t interview them. They come from experienced defenses that have great schemes and have worked with two of the top DCs in the league (Capers and LeBeau).

you couldn’t even talk those coaches until after the Super Bowl. I agree that it’s looking doubtful, but as we’ve seen over the past few weeks, things can change quickly.
Music City Miracles blogger and High Secretary of Funk. Follow me @AugustWest_MCM.
And if the defense is to throw some hybrid looks, who better to do that than someone with 3-4 experience?
I’m still of the preference that we have a 4-3 base just because of current personnel, but if Thorchak wants to vary up the fronts and give different looks, someone who has experience in a 3-4 is probably best suited to be able to design and teach those. Plus Moss said somewhere something about adaptability, so I don’t think he’d be rigidly stuck to HAVING to run a 3-4, something I think Mangini would do.

Unofficial MCM QB Rating Hater
I'm so sure it's valid to put so much stock in comparing ranks of teams
as an analysis of position coaching. How can you compare? Do teams have the exact same players? No. Too may variables. Did the Texans D suck because of Bush, or because they just suck? Did the Seahawks secondary suck because of Gray, or because they just suck? If it’s all about the coaching then how come rankings vary widely when coaches are in different environments? Summing up a coach as “oh noes his [position] was ranked bad last year!!1” is lazy and just gives sports “analysts” something to write about.

Frank Bush led the worst defense in the league last year, and one of the worst in history.
That’s not all on the players. The same can be said with Gray. Given our current defensive personnel, we need a DC who can coach up the players and put in successful schemes. Do we really want a DC who can only be successful when he’s got one of the most talented rosters in the league?

Sounding serious has nothing to do with actually having anything meaningful to say
Were my questions not serious enough, or did I just not act enough like I knew what I was talking about? Pretty simple questions actually. There has been no talk of which I am aware regarding Bush-as-DC. So “his” peformance in that capacity isn’t really relevant.
You also said that Gray has led some of the worst defenses in the history of the league. Surely you were serious when you said that, so I just wanted to know which one. Or did you just hear that somewhere so you are rolling with it?
Unofficial MCM QB Rating Hater
NECKBEARD + ??? = WUNZ!!!!!!!!11
Yeesh
So "his" peformance in that capacity isn’t really relevant.
He led the WORST defense in the league. That defense had his fingerprints all over it, INCLUDING the linebackers. So ya, I’d say being an awful DC is relevant to this discussion.
The same can be said for Gray.
This was not meant to imply he led the worst D in the league. I said that the pure awful-ness of the Houston D could not be completely attributed to their personnel, and the same goes for Gray. Just because Seattle or Washington may not have had the best rosters is still not something you can look at and blame completely on personnel. At some point, I want a coach to be able to coach up his players.

That Houston defense was, by points allowed, the consistently worst of the modern era
they gave up 24 points in every game except the Rusty game… which shows you how bad rusty was.
Music City Miracles blogger and High Secretary of Funk. Follow me @AugustWest_MCM.
Yes, Houston was major suckitude.
What do Bush’s fingerprints look like? Are you familiar enough with him to be able to say something serious about it? Or do you need to go look it up?
Coaches should be able to coach up their players? Ok, I buy that, but how far? Should a coach be able to take MCMers and make us into an elite defense?
I never said Bush was a good DC. Just pointing out that you err by cherry picking circumstances and/or removing individuals from within the context they are acting, and then using this “knowledge” to try and prove how serious you are about interweb sports analysis.

Ya because...
Taking MCMers and making them into the defense is clearly the same thing as coaching up a defense that included four first round picks and four second round picks.

I suppose.
Here’s the point:
There are many examples of coaches in the NFL that have failed miserably at coordinator and HC positions, yet excelled as positional coaches. I think it’s important to examine both positional success/failures individually.
I agree
Is his resume as a positional coach great? I haven’t looked too much into it yet, but it doesn’t seem that he has a shining resume.

just to be clear
Music City Miracles blogger and High Secretary of Funk. Follow me @AugustWest_MCM.
He was Denver's LB coach from 95-99. Won two Super Bowl rings, and helped field a couple of top 10 defenses.
I suppose that could have been in spite of him.
I'm sure he did some excellent work in that time

I'm not sure there are many other candidates that would be more qualified.
We don’t exactly have the pick of the litter right now.
I don't think the animosity over this hire is warranted.
The guy was over his head in Houston, no doubt. That said, his resume as a LB coach is pretty impressive, and he has two Super Bowl rings to show for it.
Maybe I’m missing something, but wouldn’t this hire be as a LB coach, not a DC?
As far as I know, he's only in the running for LBs coach.
As August said above, ‘anything above doorman’ and its going to be hard to defend.

Except that he has produced some good LB corps
in his career. So…how would it be hard again to defend him again? (Assuming for the sake of argument that Munch felt the need to defend his staff choices to you).
Unofficial MCM QB Rating Hater
Maybe.
Think of it this way. If Munchak fails miserably at HC, does that also now make him a bad positional coach?
No
But I would have serious concerns about his ability as anything more (OC) than a positional coach, assuming he failed because of the offensive side of the ball. Munchak also has a stronger resume of taking low draft picks and turning them into very solid players as OL coach.

Oh, to be sure Frank Bush was a HUGE part of the suck
But we also had a talent void. But Bush’s defense was terrible, uncreative, predictable, uninspired, etc. He had a huge part in it – probably the biggest, but the talent issue wasn’t far behind.

Living in DC I watched a lot of McNabb.
While he did miss open receivers from time to time(which he has always done) he had absolutely nothing to throw to at the wide receiver position, there was Santana Moss who is probably a number two or three receiver right now and the rest of there receivers shouldn’t have been on an NFL roster. He did have Cooley when he was healthy and later on in the season he had Fred Davis(when the coaching staff finally decided it was okay to put him on the field and throw some passes in his direction). He carried that team early in the season but due to the offensive line also being terrible he took a some hits and just wasn’t the same.
He looked a little old but that could also be because he had zero talent around him on that side of the ball.
I saw a few of his games
and I think he can still be a good but not great QB. I just don’t see any reason to bring a guy of his age in when we’re clearly in a rebuilding stage.

True, but McNabb just had his worst season since his rookie year.
More telling, though, is that Andy Reid was not only willing to trade him, but willing to trade him within the division. I find it hard to believe that McNabb is going to get any better in the next few years.

I'd throw them all around based on the principle that one day they were hot, I'm totally comfortable with that.

True, and at least it was consensual unlike a certain Super Bowl-losing QB.
I just don’t know how much longer Ryan can rope all those characters up, though he looks to be the ringleader of it all so perhaps its not an issue.
Ribs. I had ribs for lunch. That's why I'm doing this.

It'll be interesting to see if his style can last.
Its had lots of success the first two years, but I think eventually it may catch up to him. The “minimize headlines” theme in the NFL is tried and true.

Sad about losing Bruce Matthews?
Please. For the Houston connection, sure. But football wise, he was an assistant O-line coach, and not even the first assistant. You guys are acting like you pulled some huge coup over on us.
Frank Bush is terrible – TERRIBLE – but he can’t do nearly as much damage as a position coach..

because it's relevant?
wait? are only titans fans allowed to talk about the titans? or do we only allow titans fans to post at this board?
get over yourself and be open-minded.

WOW
THE NFL
we are excited because we're getting back a man that gave a lot to our franchise
it really has a whole lot less to do with taking something from you guys. to ask an honest question though, are you glad that Matthews is gone?

Oh, absolutely not.
The players love him, and he’s a Houston legend. Hate losing him, but not for actual football reasons.

i hear you
you have to understand our excitement right? matthews and munchak coaching together (albeit the success has yet to be determined) is very nostalgic for most of us. ps what are your thoughts about Wade Phillips?

For some, sure
Nostalgic for those of you that followed the franchise to Tennessee, sure. Munch and Matthews were childhood heroes of mine, so of course I understand the excitement.
I think Wade is a GREAT “football fit” in Houston, but personality fit – I’m not sure. He’s too much like Kubiak. I’d like to have some kind of Yin/Yang thing where if you’re going to have a quiet “aw shucks” guy (as we refer to Kubes and Wade) then you also need to have an ass-kicker. But on the plus side – if we had even a slightly below avg defense last year, we probably are in the playoff hunt. Instead – historically terrible.

You didn't have to "follow" the franchise for Matthews to be nostalgic or exciting.
Bruce Matthews may have only played 3 years as a Tennessee Titan, but for someone like me, those were the first three years that I truly cared about football, and the first two years were two of the best we’ve had.
It’s also the same time I was getting into playing football in school, and he became a bit of a role model, to me.
While me being young and getting into football for the first time may be unique, I think it’s not uncommon that Bruce would be a nostalgic hire for anyone who jumped on the Titans bandwagon as soon as it got into town. He was part of some really good teams, and I’ve always considered him one of “ours,” along with Eddie George, Steve McNair, etc., because of that.

There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

the guys on around the horn hammered Munch for firing Dinger
even though Dinger will be taken care of financially for the next year. I really think most people on espn do precisely ZERO reading about the titans before they open their mouths

haha yeah apparently the Titans only have one purpose
to be charitable to coaches and veteran players that don’t fit with the organization. In Munch We Trust

Whoa
What, because he had cancer? That’s stupid. He’s getting paid, and Munch is in charge now. He should do whatever the hell he wants to do. That said – I have no idea what direction you guys are going to go for an OC since there’s already been so much coaching movement.

we're all hoping VY retires
so we can hire him to run the offense. It’ll save the team a lot of time because under this new direction no one will be required to learn a playbook.

Why not continue the pattern?
Haywood Jeffires – WR coach
Lorenzo White – RB coach
Cody Carlson – QB coach
Haha – I kid, I kid. We have the Denver pipeline (or had, anyway) so we do the same stuff.
