    Yeah it’s great having young coordinators that nobody wants. If nobody wants to interview your coordinators, you want it to be because they already failed as a head coach, not because they suck.

    Do we know what level of involvement Schwartz had and where?

    Whatever the level, the Titans D was the strength of the team this year. Whether Bowen got better, Schwartz addressed a need, the talent improved or all the above, everyone here who called for Bowen to be fired was wrong.

    You obviously feel Downing is incompetent and I too question some of the things he does as I have every OC the Titans has ever had. But I think he catches a lot of blame for player mistakes and had his hands tied behind his back most of the season due to injuries.

    Because of this, I don’t think Vrabel will fire Downing and, if Vrabel decides to take the same approach he did with Bowen, I welcome it if it gets the offense back to were it was last season.

    I believe that Schwartz played a big role in helping our defense improve….his defenses have always been solid against the run, have good sack numbers and good 3rd down stop %…..we greatly improved in all those areas….no doubt the addition of players help as well, but I just don’t think it was a coincidence that we improved in all of those key areas that have been staples of Schwartz defense

    It's from PK, but it is interesting:

    "The fourth-down stop by the Bengals on Henry was tipped off when Firkser readjusted his positioning from the slot to two steps closer to the line of scrimmage to block the outside linebacker. This told inside linebacker Marcus Baily it was a run play to Henry and Bailey made the easy tackle for a loss and turnover on downs."


    "The third-and-1 stop just before that was a simple option read by Tannehill. He reads the DE on the offensive right side. The right tackle is blocking the inside linebacker, if the end crashes down on Henry the QB keeps it if he stays, it’s a hand it off. The DE stayed but Tannehill kept the ball. David Quessenberry also missed his block on the inside linebacker, so both reads were taken away."

    If Bowen had to have another man tell him how to do his job, how was everyone who called for him to be fired, wrong? The point of having a coordinator is they know how to do their job and run the offense/defense. If you’re coordinators need to be told what to do, they shouldn’t be coordinators to begin with.
