The Official Tennessee Titans thread IV

Todd Haley available for OC, Steelers did not renew him. Big Ben put up career record numbers under him despite them not getting along. MM is not as accomplished and would most like take the coaching better.

I like Vrabel I think he's going to be a good HC in the near future but I really like the idea of Matt LaFleur with all these young guys on the Titans offense.

I wish LaFleur had another year under his belt at LA to be sure but the offensive numbers the Rams put up this year was amazing. Not to mention what he did with Jared Goff this year as well as with Matt Ryan the last couple of years in Atlanta.

He's worked a long time with Sean McVay if he could do half with this Titans team what McVay did last year in LA in his first season as a HC, I'd be happy.

Leinart was horrible because of the offense he went too.

Leinart coming to TN in the draft would have dramatically changed his career as we literally hired his college OC the year before.

Majority of experts say that if there was a redraft that year that Leinart should have ended up in Tennessee. It made too much sense so obviously, Bud Adams went against it.

I’m sorry but Leinhart was never going to make it in the NFL, no matter who his coaches were

Lol. Okay then! While you're in the business of guarantees, please enlighten us and Robinson on who the sure fire coach that can lead us to a Super Bowl is. You know since we don't want a coach that will be a bust and you can help us avoid that.

How do you figure? They were indeed a terrible team when he got there, but they still had Fitzgerald and Boldin. Not to mention they became one of the most prolific offenses in the league just two years later with Warner at QB.

Who knows, though. Maybe he would have done better under Norm Chow in TN. Butterfly effect.

Honestly wouldn't want him either lol.

That QB class was just a loud thud compared to the hype it received. I know Cutler had some mild success and longevity, but when you consider it was being compared to '04 and '83 at the time, it's almost laughable looking back at it.

He had some good years in Denver and he was the qb Fisher wanted. Fisher is the one who told Shannon to take him

You're the one claiming Leinhart would have been great here based on nothing more than conjecture; had he even had a decent NFL career you might have an argument, but he did all of jack squat in the NFL.

There's no way you can blame all that on the team he went to. If he was good enough, he would have had an NFL career. He obviously wasn't.

I didn't know that. I always thought Fisher wanted Leinart.

I always heard Fisher wanted Cutler, Chow wanted Leinhart but was ok with Cutler, and both adamently didn't want Young. I even heard stories that Chow was going off in the war room and almost literally jumping on the table to protest getting Young.

Your opinion of of Leinhart is based on pure speculation. My opinion is based on his results, which are facts. If he was good, then he would still be playing. He wasn’t. Look at the players that he had surrounding himself at USC. Bush, Williams, White. Any decent QB would’ve thrived there

Big difference. Leinart would have been set up better in Tennessee because of coaches and roster. Way better here than in Arizona. Also, I never claimed he would have been great. I don't deal in Guarantees like others in this thread. He would have been set up to succeed a hell of lot more in Tennessee than in Arizona.

Yeah, I'm sure you just meant he would have had a better shot for success when you said:

I doubt that story happened. Even if they 'wanted' Cutler you dont pick him at #4. That years we needed a QB and there were three great candidates on the table: Leinhart, Young, and Cutler. Leinhart was a Heisman winner and Young had led his team to a NC at Texas. Then there Cutler. Never played in a post season bowl, never lead a team to a season over .500. There's no way in hell you take Cutler over those two.

If they wanted Cutler then they could have traded down to get him or rolled the dice and taken another player. In the end taking Cutler at #4 would have been stupid.


oh......but in hindsight, it might have turned out better. But that's hindsight

Sure there is; just because the other 2 had a lot of success in college doesn't mean they possess the tools to be great or even good NFL QBs. Plus Cutler was at freakin' Vandy, back when they were really terrible instead of just kinda bad. I'm not going to hold it against him that he never led them to a bowl game consider at that time they hadn't been to one in 23 years.

Titans announced that we've hired Vrabel. Really don't like it, not enough NFL coaching experience and just his first year being a coordinator. Disaster is written all over this IMO.

I think it is a good hire. The guy is super smart and knows what a winning team looks like.

Leinart was not good. Playing for Norm Chow wouldn't have made his limitations disappear.
