TitanInsider Board

Good stuff, Darren. Is there a leader in the clubhouse for the DC position?

Look for something on that soon, owenstg.

Thank you. I'm not sure if there is a true leader in the clubhouse but it seems evident that it may come from the college ranks, and my guess that announcement won't come till after signing day. Which is exactly what Norm Chow did at USC before taking the OC with the Titans.

Yeah, well Fisher won't be changing to a 3-4 regardless. Mangini has some experience as an assistant in a 4-3. But anyway, I agree that it's looking more likely that Fish will go to the college ranks to fill the position. I think he basically wants someone to plug in there to run his system (GW, Schwartz, Cecil, while all put their touch on the defense and had somewhat differing philosophies, all basically ran Fisher's system). I'll support and root for whoever they choose, I just hope that it gets resolved sooner rather than later. Btw, when is "signing day"?

It's Wednesday, and you can bet if the hire comes from the college ranks, it won't come until after the recruiting hay is in the barn. Anyone remember all the denials that came from Norm Chow and the Titans regarding his hire, because they were trying to protect the USC recruiting class that year. Once signing day passed, Chow jumped to the Titans.

What is the appeal of getting someone from college?

Tick tock tick tock.......time has already worked against Fisher on hiring someone from the NFL. A lot of good coaches have been hired around the league in the last couple of weeks. I think the pool is pretty thin, so the college ranks may be more suitable.
