    I was a bit hard on the defense earlier. Losing Morgan and McCourty was killer as was the horrible Titans offense.

    I'm good with having LeBeau but would like him to remain in his current position and find a DC he can groom for next season. As to who that might be, I have no clue.

    On the radio today Mularkey said he still needs to hire OL Coach, WR Coach and OC (he may have just been talking about Offense tho). He also added that he will lean heavily on Lebeau so I assume that means the meeting went well.

    I believe they are retaining the LBs coach Spanous (sp). My gut is he will be groomed to take over as DC in 2017.

    Lebeau isn't getting old. He is old. However, it seems his mind is still sharp. There will be quality Dc candidates available whenever he decides to hang up the headset. The Titans have been drafting and signing players that fit a 3-4 for the past two years.

    Swapping back to a 4-3 would cause the defense to take a step back in the up comming season. Mularkey may not decide what type of defense is run, but he can't afford for the defense to regress next season if he even wants a shot to stay HC for more than a couple of seasons.

    The important thing is that we have a contingency plan on the staff when Lebeau steps down.

    Why does there have to be a contingency plan on staff? Quality coaches are available every year in the NFL. Besides, do you think the coaches who are currently on staff are not paying attention and learning from Lebeau?

    maybe, but nearly 20 years of coaching LB's exclusively says probably not.
