    <p><em>Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky</em></p> <p><strong><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=hou">Houston Texans</a></strong></p> <p>Nada, sorry.</p> <p><strong><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=ind">Indianapolis Colts</a></strong></p> <p>Bob Kravitz <a href="http://www.indystar.com/article/20090125/SPORTS15/901250353/1058/SPORTS03" target="_blank">wonders</a> if the Colts got rid of the right assistant coaches.</p> <p><strong><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=jac">Jacksonville Jaguars</a></strong></p> <p>An I-was-wrong-alert. I thought the Jaguars might hire Mike Trgovac when he decided to leave Carolina, because he and <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=6659">Jack Del Rio</a> are friends. But Trgovac landed in Green Bay as defensive line coach. Vito Stellino <a href="http://www.jacksonville.com/sports/football/jaguars/2009-01-25/story/jaguars_hire_four_assistants" target="_blank">reports it's official</a>: Mel Tucker is the new defensive coordinator, Russ Purnell is the new special teams coach, Charlie Jackson is the new defensive line assistant, Luke Richesson is the new strength coach and Johnny Cox is the new quality control coach.</p> <p>Gene Frenette says the Jaguars should take the <a href="http://www.jacksonville.com/2009-01-24/story/no_title_from_dti" target="_blank">best available player</a> with the eighth pick in the draft and expects Jack Del Rio will be running the defense no matter who's the coordinator.</p> <p><strong><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=ten">Tennessee Titans</a></strong></p> <p><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10463">Michael Griffin</a> has big plans for <a href="http://www.tennessean.com/article/20090124/SPORTS01/901240311/1027" target="_blank">big improvement</a> in the offseason, writes Jim Wyatt.</p> <p>Wyatt thinks Jeff Fisher <a href="http://data.tennessean.com/v2/bin/pluckTools/display/groupblog.php?blog=96f9f738-ab2a-406c-bf09-a7c50ccfaaed&plckController=PersonaBlog&plckScript=personaScript&plckElementId=personaDest&plckPersonaPage=BlogViewPost&plckPostId=Blog%3a96f9f738-ab2a-406c-bf09-a7c50ccfaaedPost%3a89894d8c-8a50-47ab-b1b3-c733c1b4ed26&sid=sitelife.tennessean.com" target="_blank">is leaning to</a> <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=7144">Chuck Cecil</a> over Dave McGinnis for defensive coordinator. I agree and think the announcement hasn't come because Fisher wants to get his other ducks in a row first.</p> <p>A look at <a href="http://www.tennessean.com/article/20090125/SPORTS01/901250356/1027" target="_blank">the free agents</a> in the Titans defensive backfield from Gary Estwick.</p>
