    I agree, and lets be honest; it's hard for Hortons style to work when 95% of his defensive roster is a bunch of scrubs that should be mopping floors over at Saint Thomas Sports Park instead of playing football.

    So apparently Dick LeBeau will decides who calls the plays according to Whiz.

    Dick will be incharge of the D and Horton will implement.

    How many other teams out there have similar set ups? Is this a common thing or just some bs the Titans have been doing recently?

    Most teams have assistant head coaches, but not 2.

    LeBeau's style is Horton's style. That's just it. It's a perfectly smart move

    I think everyone knew the personnel was lacking going into last season. They clearly needed more than one offseason to get the right type of player in there to run this hybrid defenses.

    Having said that, that's the ONLY thing which saved Horton's job, IMO. No matter who you have on defense, there should be improvement during the season. Yes, there were injuries, but I think it's fair to say Horton didn't overachieve last season.

    I know it's not fair to put too much emphasis on this but Horton is 20-44 as a DC. I think Horton is not as good as advertised and Whiz sees an opportunity to get a better mind on that side of the ball so he can focus more on fixing a pathetic offense.

    Horton wasn't whiz first choice. If you remember he wanted Keith butler but was rejected.

    I disagree. I don't think Horton overachieved, but I think they were probably mediocre considering the offense only kept the ball 17mins a game, we had no pass rush combined with a lot of injuries in the secondary and at OLB...which should be one of the strength's of the 3-4 but was one of our biggest weaknesses.

    I think they brought LeBeau in for a few reasons. They know him, he's a big name and hopefully can IMPROVE the D, but also to show management and ownership they are trying to improve.

    Funny thing is, our offense was an even bigger problem but the HC is essentially our OC. Our WR's went backwards and our OL was bad and Hunter took a few steps backwards. And yet, no offensive changes to the staff?

    Our special teams were also atrocious and again...no changes.

    I'm glad we got LeBeau but if there isn't drastic improvement in OL, WR play on offense, pass rush and tackling on defense, and BLOCKING and coverage teams on special teams...Whis is not long for this job!
