Tennessee Titans Daily Links: Thorchak's Hammer Trumps Both Flexibility And Philosophy Edition

Wyatt is reporting that Chet Parlavecchio will soon be hired as the assistant linebackers coach. Parlavecchio was a teammate of Thorchak's way back at Penn State, and has been coaching at the high school level since 1986.

This is another one of those hires that we have no business trying to read into because we don't know anything about the guy as a coach, but folks will love to crack on because he's only been a coach for one year in an inferior league.

While toiling for a year in the UFL, Chris Palmer coached to two players into the NFL. RB Lorenzo Booker, who played in Miami a few years ago, joined the Vikings late in the season, and Ryan Perriloux was signed to a future's contract by the Giants.
