Mike Munchak Performance As Head Coach

You probably picked a bad week to start this thread...

 

^ that plus there is at least one other thread concerning Munchak

 

I've already said how I feel in another thread. Basically, yeah I'm disappointed. But at the same time I understand he's only been at this for a couple months and most new head coaches need an adjustment period. I wasn't crazy about the hire but what's done is done and I feel like he deserves at least two seasons to show us what he can do.

I just hope to god he's his own man instead of the Fisher clone he's looking like right now.

 

Exactly. For example, I have no doubt in my mind we would not have won that game against the Ravens so convincingly if Fisher were still the HC (if we even won it at all). But at the same time, as you say he's seemingly turning a blind eye to major problems with personnel and game-planning/preparation a la Fishface. Very concerning.

 

The blind eye to major personnel issues is killing me right now.

To be fair though, 3-3 at this point is what I expected at the start of the season. The only reason I'm really disappointed is due to the fact we played a few solid games to prime expectations.

 

Not really sure at this point. I think he had his ups and downs so far.

 

I personally think he's doing well. We're 3-3. On pace for 8-8. I'd considr that a success considering we were 6-10 last year, and lost major pieces on defense.

I think the problem with Titans fans...

Actually F that I think the problem with all fans of an NFL team is they like to think their team has the talent to go to the superbowl every year. And then when they don't, it's either the coaches fault, the QB's fault, a player's fault, an owner's fault.

It's nobody's fault, it's just that there are a handful of teams that are contenders. We aren't one of them.

We have NO stars on defense. ZERO. It's not one of those defenses where there are a lot of holes, nobody's particularly bad... but nobody's particularly good either.

Our stars on offense are either hurt or didn't show up this year. Kenny's out. CJ's hurt. I have high hopes for Williams, Avery, Locker, Cook, and Harper... But they're all young. Can't expect too much from them now right now. Locker and Harper aren't even playing.

And the O-line leaves a lot to be desired.

On top of that people here like to think Hasselbeck is Jesus Christ. I think it's because it's been so long since we've seen a legit QB. Really since McNair. And Hasselbeck is just that, a legit QB. But he's not Tom Brady/Peyton Manning/Aaron Rodgers..... He's the kind of QB that needs the right pieces around him, and we don't have them.





If we're still a .500 team after two more drafts and our young guys have a few more years under their belt, then yeah I'm concerned. But to go .500 in your first year as head coach with a new QB your two best players out (CJ's basically out, he's not the same dude he was) and a bad defense.... That's fine. No worries Munch.

 

That still does not excuse a performance like the one against the Texans. I don't expect the Titans to go to the SB this year. I don't even expect them to go to the playoffs. But that loss to Houston was flat out embarrassing. There is no sugarcoating it. As a team the Titans should be embarrassed. If they would have gone down fighting this would not be so bad. But they did not show up for this game period. And the least thing they own the fans is to show up and fight.
