    Titans express interest in Mike Tice

    Minnesota Vikings v San Francisco 49ers

    An impressive season as Bears offensive line coach by Mike Tice could lead to his first coordinator gig.

    Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that the Titans have expressed interest in Tice as a potential offensive coordinator candidate. It’s unclear how serious that interest is, and whether the Bears would allow Tice to interview for the job.

    The Jets, for instance, prevented their offensive line coach Bill Callahan from interviewing in Tennessee.

    It’s hard to know how Tice would do as a coordinator, but the Titans are building an impressive roster if their coaching staff ever has to suit up instead of the players in 2011. Head coach Mike Munchak and line coach Bruce Matthews are Hall of Famers, while recently added defensive coordinator Jerry Gray made four Pro Bowls.

    Tice would be a nice addition as a run-blocking tight end.

    I'm really unsure about this one. I liked Tice as a HC. He seems to have done wonders in Chicago, I'm just not sure if he's ready to tackle the OC position. There is no question that he has the work ethic and the drive but does he have what it takes mentally? Who knows. I would have liked Callahan.

    There is a really good chance that Chicago declines because, lets face it, their offensive line has had some, ehh, problems in the past.

    Also, what sets Tice apart from Dinger?

    An impressive year coaching the Bears' o-line? Jay Cutler got murdered all year.

    I would have no problem with Tice as OC. He had some pretty good offenses as a HC.

    Remember the Culpepper to Moss days......That was under Tice's watch.

    Really? Well this is the first decision of Munch's that I completely disagree with. Tice is a pile, pure and simple.

    QFT do not want Tice. Clements or a young up and coming offensive mind would be nice.
