Mike Steps Into the Fire

The only guarantee for coaches in the NFL is that they will be fired at some point. After every season, there is a shuffling with some stepping into the head coaching ranks and others getting coordinator or other coaching positions.

Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher enjoyed a 16 year run, but it came to an end on "mutually agreeable terms". I guess that means there is no trash-talking or inappropriate comments on the way out the door.

His replacement will be offensive line coach Mike Munchak. He has been with the Titans for 29 years since they made him the 8th selection of the 1982 draft. He played left guard in the run and shoot offense lead by QB Warren Moon and RB Earl Campbell. All three players are members of the NFL Hall of Fame.

Munchak is a favorite of owner Bud Grant. I hope he has a long career like Fisher did and that it ends on his own terms when that day comes.
