    We really need to keep Dick LeBeau. I think the FO knows that and that is playing a huge roll in the GM and HC interviewing process. "You want the job, you must retain Dick LeBeau." That might be why Murlarkey is the leading candidate right now. What do you think?

    I can't see anyone forcing the current coordinators or position coaches on the new HC.

    Though injuries took their toll, the Titans defense was far from special against any decent offense.

    One does not retain Lebeau. Lebeau Retains you.

    If keeping Lebeau is a significant factor in choosing the HC then that is incredibly short-sighted and frankly stupid. Lebeau will be 79 when the season starts. We need to be thinking longer term here. I like what he's done for the defense as much as anybody. But still we only won 3 games this year.

    Getting the right HC in place is way, way, way more important than retaining the dinosaur.

    Pretty much. At this point I don't care if we clear the entire staff.

    How far has this team fallen that we are so enamored with the 2015 defense?

    Yes. Those injuries were huge though! We had guys like BJ Webb covering legit starting receivers. Coach can't do much with that.

    Coach can tell Webb to not play 12 yards off the receiver in 3rd-and-8.

    True. But if he plays tight on the receiver he probably gives up 200 yards and 3td's. lol
