earlers Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I don't get the "He picked us over the Lions" What's that all about? Whisenhunt was the only "sought after" because he was the only known commodity. All of the other guys were unknown commodities. That's nothing to be proud of... amyinsparta 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Truth be told, Whisenhunt would have been my second choice. He's still that for me though: second choice. Here's to hoping that the Webster - Whisenhunt tandem is successful. IowaOiler 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pragidealist Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Lions are a. Bigger market team who the media says has a lot more talent,better Qb, and overall better situation for a coach This says wiz thought differently on something It was almost a foregone conclusion that he was a lion gatordude731, and Bluth 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I absolutely fucking hate this news right now. I have no idea how he'll be as a coach, but he took 3 interviews this week while his team was getting ready for a divisional playoff game against the AFC best Broncos, a team they'd beaten just a few weeks ago. I don't want to hear about how he took the Cards to the SB. He lucked into that with Kurt Warner as his QB... I'm not going to pretend like I know much about him, and I may be shooting rainbows out my ass in a few days/weeks/months, but my initial reaction is through and through disappointment. earlers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansWycheck89 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 There was something about him I always liked. Wanted him as an OC last year. I'm looking forward to what he brings to the Titans. SuperFreak90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post code Posted January 13, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Bellicek sucked as a retread. Bet the Pats wished they never hired him. And no, nobody can say that they thought Bellichek was going to be great after he failed in Cleveland. Wiz makes sense to me. Whether he will be great or not is very much a question. But for me, this is as good of a hire as we were likely to make and now no one can say that we have just stayed in the Fisher tree. Things will be different in Nashville. Better? Not sure. Worse? Not sure. Different? Absolutely. SuperFreak90, Number9, DrFlamehead, and 4 others 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenj Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Honestly, it's hard to complain about this hire. He's very experienced, was highly coveted around the league, has the NFL connections necessary to bring a competent and experienced staff, and is an offensive-minded coach who has had success in multiple places. On top of this, he likely had his choice of landing spots and felt the Titans represented the best opportunity. We interviewed a bunch of guys and didn't make some boneheaded, cheap-wad hire because we had no options left. I certainly have reservations -- I question how his offense will fit Locker (though this may be a sign they are ready to move on), his QB errors in the past, and his total team meltdown as a HC. But it's hard to know what was on him or the GM, and it's likely that Webster will have full control from a player personnel standpoint.

TampaTitan Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm just struggling to get excited about this. I was really hoping for a fresh mind even if it meant hiring somebody with 0 HC experience. Someone help me accept this please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
code Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I think he chose TN over Detroit because he liked the GM more and felt like he fit bet with Webster. He knows he is only as good as the guy he shops for the groceries. He must be comfortable with Webster as his partner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's significantly easier to draft for a 3-4 in today's age. I really like it for Kendall Wright. Can't see Locker fitting with Whiz though Same. I could see McCarron, Murray, Fales fitting very well in his system if the Titans choose to wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle021 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Does he draft a QB like Manziel at 11, or does he trade for Cousins to compete with Locker for the starting gig? That will be his first task Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
