    The injuries to our OL sure didn't help the cause either. The OL is the unit to me that can help the Titans to have a better season this year.

    I think after the first few games when it was clear that Locker could not stay healthy, Mett needed a lot of work, and Beautiful Hair was what he was, Coach decided to start looking for a good QB. He found one and decided to ride it out, not even caring that the team looked worse than a third string on a high school squad.
    At least, I hope that's what he did, cause if he is no better coach than he showed last season, regardless of how good Mariota is, we're toast. But I go with my gut feeling that he just didn't care and made no attempt to coach the uncoachable.

    Actually, It is much harder to tank and not look like a total imbecile than you think.

    Remember the 'suck for Luck' campaign? Everyone in the NFL knew they were tanking after about week 2. I mean c'mon, they started Kerry Collins, Curtis Painter and some other no names at QB that year ... they weren't trying to hide it very well.

    Yet what happened to their coach, Jim Caldwell? He was made to look like a complete moron after that season. This is despite the fact that he had just taken them to a SB, and despite the fact that Bill Belichick couldn't have cheated his way more than a couple of wins with the QBs they were fielding.

    Caldwell even got fired for it (which blows my mind because I am sure that Irsay wanted him to 'suck for luck' ... I also think that he just wanted to clean house anyway, and this was a convenient excuse)

    And now look at Caldwell. He took the Lions to 11-5 overall and 5-1 in the division.

    tldr version:

    Caldwell purposefully sucked for Luck and looked like an idiot and terrible coach doing this. However, his track record before that season (SB appearance) and after that season (Playoff appearance) as an HC is pretty solid.

    therefore, it is hard to suck and not look bad doing it.

    Yes, but that could change, depending on whether we win the first few games and look like a professional football team instead of a small college team.

    Yea Caldwell was the scapegoat. The tank was obviously intentional. Though they really were one of the worst teams without Peyton.

    But Caldwell really surprised me with the Lions. I know he walked into another good situation, but I always took him as a clueless head coach. He and Munchak always had similar clueless looks on their faces.

    I think Whiz will do what he thinks is "adjusting" .. but the man has not been flexible.

    We'll see what happens but I predict a season of watching Mariota run for his life

    Again....as I said before, I hope you all are right. I am just not ready to jump onto the bandwagon here before I see some evidence of that.

    Lots of evidence

    Idk how an nfl coach blows all those challenges, or forgets what clock management is
