Just one day after San Diego was eliminated from the playoffs, Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt has decided to move on. Whisenhunt has accepted an offer to become the Tennessee Titans next coach, the team announced on Monday.Whisenhunt was the top choice in Detroit. I'm thinking they should go back to their storied past and find Tommy Hudspeth, still apparently available after all these years.
"This is a big day for this franchise,” Titans President and CEO Tommy Smith said in a statement. "Ken is a well-respected coach in this league and I am looking forward to seeing his vision become reality for this team. He has a history of building successful offenses and took Arizona to a Super Bowl as a head coach. We all share a common goal for this team and that is to build a consistent winner."
Whisenhunt interviewed with the team on Friday and was believed to be a favorite for both the Titans job and the vacant Detroit Lions job. Whisenhunt replaces Mike Munchak, who was fired by the Titans on Jan. 4.

Wondering Where the Lions Are
It's probably not nice to mock the Lions, but after Jim Schwartz, screw 'em. And so they deserve to be mocked for this:

detroit has good talent on both sides of the ball. there must be a reason with the people upstairs that they cant get the coach they want...
Wouldn't Hudspeth's 11-13 record while with the Lions put him at or near the top for all Lion's Coaches, at least for all Lions Coaches since the 1970's.
Gino, the fact that Detroit is a bankrupt god-forsaken hole might also have something to do with their not being able to land a top choice for a coach.

Hard to argue with that.

It would. Don't it always seem to go/that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
i'll volunteer to coach the Lions for 1 million/yr... but i want a three yr contract.
cant do any worse than Rod Marinelli did, and i might have better results.
I think the Kitties ended up with a solid coach. Jim Caldwell could be the sort of calming influence and leadership this club needs. And in all fairness to Jim Schwartz - his aggressive, in-your-face style was what the Lions' needed back in 2009, following the first 0-16 in NFL history. The Lions grew. Schwartz couldn't.

Hard to argue with that. It's also a long-standing trend for NFL teams to hire head coaches who are very different than their predecessors, which is why the Vikes might take a flyer on a butt-kicker like Zimmer after having the gentle Mr. Frazier at the helm.
