That's Jeff Fisher quote

Gotta wonder how that impacts the rest of potential coaching candidates.
For him to love it and want to return and supposedly coaching these minor leagues and staying busy thinking maybe someday... and then that?
 
Mister positive that talked like HR trained him in a meeting room for months at how to only speak positive has changed-

Nick Holz said there's a little of everything to the screen game failing. Sometimes it's a bad matchup and other times the ball probably should have been handed off instead of thrown to the screen.

*****
It's a stupid play call.
Every screen in the history of football is stupid when the defense is expecting it. They're either blown up or an INT.
There's just no sugar coating it or blame to go around anywhere.
Every fan knows it and has been bit by this at some point with their team

#Titans Nick Holz on tempo offense: We'd love to do tempo but you gotta get a first down first. Until we can put together a drive and actually move the ball we can't go tempo. You don't want any 12 second drives. You almost have to rat the right to go tempo.

He's so disagreeable
He must be upset about his buddy being fired.

We'll see but the OC that doesn't design the offense or call plays probably only has a short grace period to cool off or lose his job too

I expect the Titans’ early list of head coaching candidates to include:

- Matt Nagy
- Lou Anarumo
- Anthony Weaver
- Arthur Smith

*****
I haven't been sharing these and probably won't do it much.
Arthur had the #2 offense and a downhill run since. I'll always be intrigued that he could actually buy the team.
Matt Nagy is GM Borgonzi's (common assumption!!!) choice because he was in KC. I don't think he's so similar to Andy Reid or this protege or somesuch to be considered that.

Also Mike McCarthy has been commonly mentioned.

Arthur is "a different animal" because he was in Tennessee. I don't want someone that other fans laugh at the concept of them hiding.

I did not have a problem with the Titans hiring Callahan just that he should have been OC since he never called plays. Good guy, top offense, worked w great QBs.....his resume was almost intriguing.

DC Denard Wilson said this week that he would like to be a head coach. An odd statement but he sort of has to put that out there. I would guess his DC would be Chris Harris. Per usual idk his offensive thoughts of anything but am super strongly on board with he and Harris.

Jim Schwartz is a forever candidate with extremely strong connections to the organization. During his time in Detroit, he did some things the NFL noticed and I've seen mentioned often since like having players make appearances in public to stir up interest. Some hospital has visits every week for a year. One of his players took that to meet with govt officials and ran for office eventually. He also seemed too smart for his own good and made lots of foolish mistakes. This is a very appropriate humble pie give him another chance type thing. It's been a long time since then and his humility makes him unique in the hiring landscape.
There's a good part of a decade that he worked for the Titans not in a well known capacity-
He would work for the NFL out of the Titans offices.
He would get very sick and idk details but the organization was so supportive and it was quietly a big deal.
He famously confronted JRob during bad times. Vrabel grew quite attached to his counsel like a friend always chatting.
He'd leave, be a good DC, and come back.

He was on some competition committee fact finding polling aspect and at some owners meeting he strongly disagreed a Vrabel. They remained good friends and there was something significant and impressive with how he held himself then.

He was called by so many teams so many times that it's widely assumed LaFleur and Arthur were hired with his blessing- among others.

Pats history
Strong record as DC. One of the points radio hosts make is he had been part of turning franchises around and that should be a big point in who they hire.

It's very possible Schwartz is hired and not a commonly discussed candidate. His closeness to people in the organization and how he keeps things close to the best since Detroit...I think while he's discussed already, it's possible we don't have the interview discussions about him in the news and he's just hired. Definitely keep a concept open he's sorta lurking
 
Other teams radio stations have hosts asking why Borgonzi would be safe.
Many wonder if they'll blow up the triumvirate that's 5-6 people.
Titans radio has Borgonzi safe and allowed to build his team and hire his coach.

My opinion- what have you done to make the team better? Ask that and follow that answer at year's end

The Titans are open for business on every player but QB Cam Ward and DT Jeffery Simmons
 
DC Denard Wilson was very upset and seen meeting with ownership, GM, and Pres.

Absolutely no details but maybe we'll hear.
His defense was awful but awful trades and injuries and Callahan's prior involvement for two weeks maybe....idk maybe he blew up? Maybe he begged for better players? Could be anything
 
Problematic presser today.

As I've said many times, the Titans have a wealth of 20+ year reporters that have seen it all.

McCoy was very standoffish and gave so little details on anything.
Last week, he made foolish injury statements which he did not end up doing so it turned out fine.

He will NOT be the next head coach if he continues this.
Turning a team around, bad season ,selling tickets to new stadium...he's gotta meet the coach minimum for sharing details but probably even exceed to keep fan interest.

Maybe this will be like "we won't share injury updates til Sunday" and it's just what an ol ball coach thinks he can incorrectly change and someone will remind him.

We'll see.
Reporters have almost no power- this is the teenie but they have
 
Eddie George wondered if they let Callahan go too soon and said he thinks the recent moves have set the franchise back ten years.

Recent I suppose can be interpreted however. From Ran to Vrabel to Callahan to Borgonzi- everyone cleaned house 60% and it's really not an original pov

I’m told that representatives for Texas coach Steve Sarkisian have let NFL decision makers know that he would be interested in potential head coaching openings, including the Titans’.

there are reports out there that contradict this but unless he were fired he'd be crazy to leave that kind of money and I highly doubt we'd be willing to pay that much.

This was really the only chance we had at winning games this year.
2nd in yards allowed last year.
No one goes five starters deep. They were also relatively cheap.
It's maddening. On a barren roster, to give up something done right, some advantage, is absolutely stupid roster management.

This would be my straw if I was the owner. The six umvirate and GM would all be gone
 
Lots and lots of trade rumors
Zero additions rumored

This could have been done in January or April

Lost time, lost a ton of value with these deadline deals

I obviously don't want the six umvirate to remain and already strongly question the GM but...

If there's some good youth and a decent line with youth, Ward and Big Jeff, plus a ton of cap $ and opening to add your own coach...that seems quite appealing for a new GM

Firing Borgonzi and six-umvirate maybe next year is yet another clean up my mess routine.

I wonder if the plan is to replace both

Mike McCoy said next week will be a big week toward seeing if Kalel Mullings can return after the bye.
 
Forgot to mention Drew Moss. Guard that initially made Broncos 53 and Titans were awarded off waivers.
Blake Hance went to IR
Hance is who I would have guessed replaced Zeitler if he's traded.
 
GM interview yesterday was super predictable.
Didn't get offers that they felt were good enough compensation.
Praised the rookies in a weird way like look at me- why single me out for any other reason- and said how they're all playing.

Threw Brownlee under the bus as not a culture fit as if he's reading from a GM script. Not true and we have a zillion player quotes and coaches quotes that say different. Some coach quotes from just days before.
His agent or representative said he will be in touch on X.
Maybe we need this. Is that libel? It would cost Brownlee $ maybe.
 
Biggest absence of coverage I've ever seen in my life. Titans talk was so minimal during the bye with even Titans show discussing other topics.
With the wins this weekend, the Titans seem well set for the first pick yet again.

The most common predictions are a trade down with the Jets who take a QB and McCarthy as HC.

McCarthy is someone who has discussed "buying the groceries" before. I don't feel any excitement at the suggestion but it's interesting to hear others already not liking Borgonzi.

I'm sticking with other teams fans being more common in the stadium, Nashville businesses thriving with travelers, and ticket prices insanely low with some under $10. A surprise big change is always very possible when the owner's pockets aren't getting lined. Maybe 10% chance Borgonzi is gone now, maybe more with six umvirate? We'll see how bad it gets. $7 tickets seemed rock bottom so what if it isn't?
 

Sneed is accused of having observed the commission of a felony under circumstances in which serious bodily injury or death may have resulted and knowingly failing to immediately report the commission of the offense to a law enforcement officer. The charge is punishable by one year in county jail and/or a fine of up to $4,000.

The incident allegedly occurred on Dec. 6, 2024, when Christian Nshimiyimana, who owns an exotic car rental business and was researching vehicles for his company, was sitting inside the Mercedes G-Wagon at a dealership in Carrollton, Texas. Nshimiyimana alleges Sneed and his personal assistant pulled up to the dealership in a rented Lamborghini Urus and shot at him while he was sitting inside his vehicle.

I'm very confused

Sneed and his accomplice were arrested by the Carrollton Police Department on allegations of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after the shooting.

but he was only indicted on failing to report. So I guess that means the PA is the one that fired shots (unless he's taking the rap)

Either way, if true, these are some bad people.
 
We never did get any info on if when interviewing Borgonzi, they discussed getting robbed in the Snead trade.
It's (possibly) such an interesting element- let's hire one of the guys that took us to the woodshed
 
Doug Peterson is a common suggestion for next HC.
He was interesting on Sirius almost talking to Titans probs and needs in a real simple twist. Importance of OL on young QB, options outside, TE, keeping good CBs and Edges so important to a D
I'm guessing that interview which was just discussing today's NFL and some teams will have some weight and he'll get a bump in fan interest

Latest I find confusing
Lambo's are two seaters right? Two in the car plus Sneed isn't possible right? On X some are calling him the getaway driver of a drive by.

Please read and tell me what's what
 
This seems pretty clear -- 2 people in one car, one in another car.

That's from the ESPN story.
The AP story says Sneed was seen driving the Urus 8 minutes before the shooting.

Doug would be good for a young team but he needs solid coordinators to run the week to week stuff on both sides of the ball. He can manage the team well but without good play callers, he'd get old pretty quick.

I don't know what the charge is. All I've got from TV is accomplice. Failure to report doesn't match "getaway driver" or "driveby driver" in my head.

I know the Titans are quite literally the rule setter trend setter with legal cases as their lawyer is (one of) the league lawyer. Haskins girlfriend had all these marks. On the neck IIRC too. I thought a female owner would be "get off my team" but...nope. He got hurt. Legal process played out. He worked out a deal with the DA or the girl and suddenly it seemed very wise the Titans didn't really respond with a big deal fine or suspension.
For Sneed, I'm sure Bud's son (Kenneth Adams IV) calls former lawyer Roger Goodell and they're probably all smart and careful. As long as Sneed isn't charged with something horrible, they wait the legal process out. He too is injured so he won't be playing which during legal times people call "representing the team."
Clearly I'm not the legal wiz kid and all knowledgeable on this topic.

I'm rooted in TV and I do not understand the charge. "As the getaway driver, we're going to charge you as an accomplice and you face 15 years if you don't tell us who planned it and all the details" that suits my TV brain. Then he's just charged with a lesser failure to report.

I would love to hear from someone far more knowledgeable
