A step in the right direction


The Titans fired offensive coordinator Norm Chow and replaced him with Mike Heimerdinger. Aside from having a name that sounds like a character in a bad nursery rhyme, Heimerdinger was the Titans' OC in 2003, the year when McNair was absolutely on fire and won the co-MVP award with Manning. Chow was lured away from the OC position at USC two years ago in order to tutor Vince Young (Peace Be With Him). Chow, of course, coached Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart while they played for the red rubbers.

Normally I hate it when people return to their old teams, but getting Chow out of Nashville was the first priority. Yet another in a long line of college coaches who can't hack it in the big time. Heimerdinger should, in theory, be able to recreate the offensive success he found in 2003 since Vince (Peace Be With Him) was only signed to be a younger, faster McNair. If they draft a WR in the first round, I'll feel much better.
