Technically still under contract until after the Superbowl.

I mean true but he’s not going to be KC’s OC next year.

Here’s where I can’t gauge where the titans are going. 
 

if Nagy is the guy then just hire him now. Why go through the dog & pony show of Saleh tomorrow and Hafley on Tuesday?

Got to go through the motions.  Or else it will seem like a buddy buddy hire.

Hate sharing TicTacIdiot stuff, but if they don’t do the Nagy OC or McDaniel OC thing, I could see LaFleur being on the table again.

 

Didn't seem like Shanahan was going to allow Kubiak to interview anywhere, though I’m unsure if they can block the request if he’s getting to be a full time play caller. 

LaFluer looks like he is either being held hostage or just shit his pants.

Its not fooling anyone though. At this point if they hire anyone beside nagy idk if any will give borgo credit or say he caved to fan pressure. If it works out that is.

They could do every motion in the book and it’s still gonna be called a buddy buddy hire.

Who exactly wants this Kubiak? What exactly has he done to justify any job opportunity other than his current position? 

 

Dad was a good HC, Brother is making waves as an OC in Seattle.  Therefore he deserves a job, right? I don't get it.

it's for sure the name and him being under a great coach. 
 

I don't know what to say of his offense.  Purdy and little hurt a good bit. Several players really. But I haven't been paying attention overall to the job he's done good or bad.

This is a buddy buddy hire

 

nagy was the first coach requested and now the first coach in the finalist phase

No he didn’t, Fangio was a holdover iirc

You're right, didn't notice that.  Well the guy who replaced him was good.

That whole offense is Shanahan. Klint Kubiak isn't moving a needle.  Of course he'll get endorsed by this person or that person, but his name is why he's in the position he's in.

Right , it doesn’t matter if he is hired .  It’s still buddy /buddy no matter how much you try to gloss it up.

 

And most teams have been doing the first guy in becomes the HC and don’t even bother with another guy.  And I don’t see them wasting Saleh’s time like this.

It's not fooling someone like you and I or anyone on this website. But the average Titans fan don't know any of the HC candidates. Therefore Borgo can and will get away with this hire if it's Humpty Dumpty Nagy

Meaning you think they’ll cancel with Saleh? Or that you think it’s legit. 

[titanskick8851]

Some interesting things if they do go Saleh.

 

He really doesn’t lack potential OC candidates:

Could go with experience and someone he could just hand the offense over to if he wants (and some who already interviewed with the team): 

Mike McDaniel

Matt Nagy

Brian Daboll

Art Smith 

Kliff Kingsbury 

 

Or reach into the bevy of his connections for OC or various staff roles:

Mike LaFleur 

Bobby Slowik 

Klay Kubiak (unlikely as talked about)

Rob Calabrese

Chris Forester

John Benton

Jon Embree and Eric Studesville would be great potential additions from the Miami staff that could lend a lot of experience, guidance, and support of the offense.

I think it’s legit.  Why would you even bother moving it up to Monday and in person and flying the guy in if he has no shot ?
