I'm not so sure, Luck's injury might be far worse than what is being reported....The Titans are much further along than the Colts and the Titan defense is better too with Casey up front. It will be interesting to see if Dick Lebeau retires because if I was McDaniels and I take the job, I would try to get John Fox as DC, but we shall see how this plays out.

I didn't know that Mularkey wasn't doing a good job until I saw Titan fans comments after we beat them.

Still, who else lets go of a HC after getting in the playoffs... and even winning one? Can't remember that happening.

Mariota with little hoodie's offense? Good luck learning calculus!

Walt Michaels took the New York Jets to the AFC Championship game in 1982 and was replaced by Offensive Coordinator Joe Walton in 1983....The Los Angeles Rams won the NFL Championship Game in 1951 and replaced Head Coach Joe Stydahar with Hamp Pool in 1952.

As soon as you saw that quote that Mularky was happy with Mariota's progress and he was not changing his staff, you knew he might get axed

Michaels quit though, wasnt fired. He was burnt out

Actually it was a combination, he got drunk on the plane home from Miami and created a scene, so that is the direction the Jets went, but they did not want to lose Joe Walton, who was going to be hired by the Atlanta Falcons back then.

They knew all along that it was McDaniels preferred job. He is close friends with John Robinson.

Well, then I guess Jon Robinson was waiting for Mularkey to lose and at the end the Titans won to get into post season and then beat the hapless Chiefs, thus setting up the opportunity this week. I guess if the Titans had been close in the game, they might of had no alternative, but I understand that Jon Robinson wants to hire his own Head Coach.

AJ Smith fired Marty Schottenheimer after a 14-2 regular season.

He was never gonna get fired though. He was a MESS in the playoffs.
Marty Shottenheimer though, goes 14-2 and gets fired. Wow

I just don't understand why McDaniels would want the Titans over, say the New York Giants! Lots of reason to take the Giants job! JMHO!
 
I agree with this firing. Mularkey isn't head coaching material IMO. He will go enrich a staff somewhere as OC though, where he's best served. This is no different than Whisenhunt being fired so early, and MM just learned that what comes around goes around.

Also in spite of the talent there in Tennessee, it won't be the top coveted job due to questions with the QB as well as the seeming impatience of the front office.

Josh McDaniels covets this job, per Ian Rappaport

I seriously doubt that McDaniels wants to suffer through the minefield brought on by an inaccurate QB whose legs are his best asset. He suffered through that in Denver (when he actually won some games with Tebow).

Best job will either be one that has a QB he can develop in place, OR a very high pick that he can bring around. Also he might strongly consider a team if they convince him they're serious about bringing in a FA QB of sufficient quality, since Brees might hit the market and Cousins certainly will.

This offseason is going to be one of the most tumultuous ever in terms of QB turnover and fortunes of many teams will be affected.

The problem with the Colts is, all they have is Luck. They're not a very good team.
Titans have far more talent overall imo.
 
McDaniels is a horrible fit for the Titans. He will find out his QB doesn't have 4 to 6 seconds back there for the plays to develop.

Re: the Colts the QB options are live. Not only do they have Andrew Luck, but they also pick 3rd overall in the strongest QB draft in many years.

I'm not sure what to think of Mariota.

Sometimes I like him. Sometimes he looks like he's missing something, to me.

I'd probably avoid the risk with him, especially since McDaniels should pretty much have his pick of jobs. Indy feels safer, at least at QB, assuming Luck is okay.

But that's the rub CGI...no one knows at this point if Luck is healthy enough to play next year let alone at the same level he once did. The risk is huge because nothing is known. And, sure, the Colts have the 3rd pick but do they go QB only to have him sit behind a healthy Luck when they have holes all over their lineup or do they try to fill some of the holes ( a trade back would be a no brainer for this team) and then find out that Luck is outta luck and can't play?
Do they really want to go forward with Jacoby Brissett as the face of the franchise?

Factoring all of this in the cake the Titan job starts to look a bit better if for no other reason than the risk is a known and manageable.
