The Titans just fired their OC mike heimerdinger today. It could be a good fit.

Dear god no, keep Watson away from my Titans, we have enough problems to worry about, we don't need Watson to destroy an already solid offense set in place!
Which Titans team are you talking about? The one that was 27th in Total Offense, 17th in scoring offense, doesn’t have a starting QB, or a legit #1 or #2 WR? Is that the team that already has its offense in place?
That's the point. They have POTENTIAL. Just like the Husker offense. POTENTIAL. Due to INEPT COACHING, they sputter, seems to be a familiar trend on this message board when the offense doesn't succeed.
To say Kenny Britt isn't a "legit #1 or #2" receiver is simply, laughable. We don't throw the ball as much as we should/as much as some teams do, which would make the STATS look less than they are, but to say he isn't a #1 is dumb. If he and Moss were on the field at the same time, like they should have been, playing to their potential, it would open up a lot more and we would look a lot better.
We got rid of the BIG problem, Jeff Fisher, who was WAY WAY WAY too conservative on offense to make a difference, and for being a "defensive coach" his defenses were below-average to terrible. He tried to turn Chris Johnson into a power back, coming off of a 2,006 yard season, and running backs rarely have an amazing season coming off of a 2,000 yard season.
Our defense, much like the 07 Nebraska defense, couldn't stop a paper sack, and we had potential on offense, and we saw it thrive the next year a little, but the potential was there.
Randy Moss is a Hall of Famer, but our inept COACHING STAFF COULD NOT figure out a way to get them on the field at the same time, to stretch the defense and open up our running game, with the BEST running back in the NFL, and if not the best, definitely #2 in the NFL.
Jared Cook Jr., should have been our starting Tight End/Wide Receiver hybrid, a fast guy for his size and could, again, stretch the defense to open up the running game, but would never see the field because of our INEPT coaching staff, and only saw playing time LATER in the season when the team basically already gave up.
Again, seems like a common trend.
Bo Scaife is not a true NFL tight end and can not block well. Our line should be improved once we get a better Center there, and with Mike Munchak hiring to do things HIS way, the overall offense should be better under a different philosophy, and even stated there would be changes, and this is one of them.
Vince Young was/is/should be our starting quarterback. However, with the new changes, he looks to be on the way out, even though I would keep him for one more year since he only has one year left on his contract and we aren't going to start a rookie.
Our offensive line needs work, I will give you that, but with a change in philosophy, hopefully that shows results as well.
But to say we don't have: WR, RB, TE, QB [Vince Young, but he will probably not be there next year], we need to have a #2 Wide Receiver, as most of our #2's are in reality #3's or 4's.
So I will give you the offensive line and #2 WR we are missing, but if Britt is on the field, it takes more to cover him which can open someone else and the running game.
Stats tell a lot of the story, but they don't tell the whole story when it comes to inept coaching. Just look at our own offense from 2010. Lead the Big XII in rushing but couldn't get it done when it mattered the most, and we all want Watson gone, so that seems to be the trend, it goes back to coaching, because to say we don't have potential on Nebraska's offense is again, laughable. Especially the 2010 offense had a lot of depth.
Back on topic, hopefully the new offensive coordinator installs his philosophy and we see much better and CONSISTENT results in 2011.
