    I don't give much credit to Leinart because he probably feel Whiz didn't give him enough of a shot. But I heard others yesterday say many of the same things.

    It boils down to the fact that a head coach is only as good as his QB. Maybe a HC is lucky enough to have a dominating defense or running game which takes a lot of the pressure off the QB but, even in those cases, the QB has to manage the game well.

    Warner was on the scrap heap when he went to AZ. With two of the best WRs in the game, the tools were there for him to be successful. And I don't blame a coach who is smart enough to listen to a vet QB and do everything in his power to put him in position to be successful. That's his job.

    As for the bad seasons at AZ, it's a concern. He had a lot of injuries at QB but also made some poor choices, IMO, of young QBs.

    Per @mortreport: Browns DC Ray Horton and Chargers TE coach Jason Michael are leading candidates as Whiz coordinators. #Titans

    Heard this morn the #Titans interested on SD tight ends coach Jason Michael as potential OC. He's a former West Ky QB and grad assist at UT

    It really doesn't matter who we hire as OC. Whisenhunt is calling the plays.

    At DC, the two names I've heard are Ray Horton (Browns DC) and Keith Butler (Steelers LBs) #Titans

    It's worth noting I suppose. And he does have a point about how Whisenhunt has had some pretty great QBs to work with over the years. But Matt Leinart most definitely has an ax to grind here. I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time he's badmouthed Whisenhunt. Sour grapes if you ask me. I think Leinart bought into his own hype and was pissed when the new HC didn't kiss his @$$ and automatically hand him the job.

    Like I said earlier in the thread, I don't really care what some "never was" scrub with zero ties to this organization thinks of the hire.

    Just received text that Coach Butler will NOT be Titans DC in 2014....pissed... well it was at least fun following all the Twitter stuff and seeing him be recognized like that...really appreciate all of the positive thoughts you guys had to say about him. He's a really hard worker and deserves all of the success he's had with the Steelers even though I've never been a fan of the team. Guess I'll just keep talking smack to him when we beat him in Nashville again!

    I'm inclined to agree with you.

    Only thing that gives me pause is that you would, on the surface, expect Leinart to hate both Whisenhunt and Warner.

    Whis benched him for Warner. Warner stole his job. However you want to frame it, those two were responsible.

    Yet Leinart has only bad things to say about Whisenhunt and only good things to say about Warner.
