    Just read the following confirmation below....glad Lebeau is back on the staff so we at least have decent/proven coaching on one side of the ball. April seems like a decent hire for the ST....something we have been lacking for a couple of years now.

    Dick LeBeau has been named Titans assistant head coach/defensive coordinator, Terry Robiskie has been hired as offensive coordinator and Bobby April has joined the staff as special teams coordinator, Jason Wolf of the Tennessean reports.
    Robiskie, an NFL coach since 1982, has been with the Falcons for eight seasons and was key in the development of Roddy White and Julio Jones.
    He was offensive coordinator of the Raiders from 1989 to ’93, interim head coach of the Redskins in 2000, and offensive coordinator and interim head coach of the Browns in 2004.
    Robiskie replaces Jason Michael, who is being retained as quarterbacks coach.

    LeBeau, inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010, served last season as assistant head coach/defense.

    April recently parted ways with the Jets. He was named the NFL's special teams coach of the year in 2004 and '08, the first coming while on Mularkey's staff with the Bills.

    I can tolerate these hires for now, because they bring a wealth of knowledge to our very young team.

    Now i want to see a great o-line, d-line, and secondary coach hires.

    I would like to see someone hired (possibly the secondary coach?) to assist and learn from LeBeau to take over his defense.

    I think Michaels has a good head on his shoulders and that Robiskie was brought in as a stop gap coordinator until he learns the system to take over.

    Special teams was atrocious last year yet our idiot coach was nominated for some type of award? LOL sure why not, Brett Kern for MVP!! What an honor

    Dont really care who that coach is, just need a KR and we're set there, seems like an easy job.

    This should be so obvious that even a Mularkey could get it........ Let's hope so.

    If thats not a natural thing that just happens then all these coaches are imbeciles.

    There is a HoF coach standing in Nashville, if every one of these coaches including offensive ones arent there soaking up the ways of a legend then there is no hope for any of them.

    I'm hoping for Grimm as Oline coach, though he is only 56. He may not meet the Titans age requirement.

    Too bad we have way more woes on offense than defense. We needed to bring a better offensive coordinator, someone like Mike Martz would've been epic.

    I think the offenses he had were some of the best in NFL history. He is an actual "QB whisperer".
