I would be afraid if he ever heard us call a naked bootleg he’d jump on the field.When he was with the Lions

No kidding!I would be afraid if he ever heard us call a naked bootleg he’d jump on the field.
Called it. Disappointed Vrabel didn't bring him back mid season last year. I wonder if Pees' "retirement" wasn't more of a "mutual" decision more so on Vrabel's part.
Nothing to prove that either way. I think folks read way too much into things. Because he already retired once when not working for Vrabel, it’s clearly something on his mind. We also do not know what role he may be interested in at Atlanta. Perhaps a consulting or advising role which is not what we need. We need a bad dude play caller. Pees is the only coordinator who left us who wasn’t promoted to head coach, so there is no evidence coaches can’t get along with him.Called it.

Hubris is his biggest weakness.

I think it is highly likely COVID played a role. Especially given Pees’s age. I think people are jumping to conclusions speculating issues between Vrabel and Pees as there is no evidence of that. Blaming Vrabel for Pees taking a different job is silly unless some new evidence comes to light - which I doubt.I think it's more likely that Pees' retirement plans went up in smoke thanks to COVID and his desire to return to coaching in some capacity is fueled because of that. Vrabel did coax Pees out of retirement to come to the Titans, so I do not believe that there would be friction. Bowen and Vrabel were still running a modified version of Pees scheme.
Yea, we'll never know, but given his track record and based on some of the things he says during interviews, it's not that farfetched to think Vrabel wanted a shot to call his own number. Clearly it didn't work out. I wrote at one point last year that given our 5-0 start, Vrabel should be able to convince Pees to unretire even as a "consultant" to give him another shot at a Super Bowl. Shorty after that, news came out that Pees in fact said he wanted to coach again. Again, we won't know, but the fact that we didn't bring him back right then and there, it probably speaks more to Vrabel than to Pees. Now if he goes to Atlanta, again, another missed opportunity and it would seem it is because of Vrabel. It's not necessarily a crazy conspiracy.Nothing to prove that either way.

I don't like how quiet it's been for the Titans.Another DC candidate potentially off the market
Report: Rams focused on Raheem Morris as next defensive coordinator - ProFootballTalk
I don't think our offense needs to be reinvented, just evolve. A guy like Downing could do that.There’s consistency and then there’s failure to innovate. I fear if we elevate one of our internal candidates we will just retread what we’ve done and that doesn’t work in the NFL. Smith was a good hire though few of us thought so at the time. But one tremendous reason he was hired was because Mariotta had a different OC every year and they were trying to stabilize things. I have much more confidence that Tannehill can handle a new coach. Keep the basics, but we need innovation and creativity against the better defenses - as we saw in the play offs.
I feel the same, seems we have the same openings to fill but everyone else is addressing them quickerI don't like how quiet it's been for the Titans.
Why do you think Downing could improve our offense? His track record isn’t terribly strong. I also don’t think our offense needs a total overhaul, but it does need more inventiveness for late season success.I don't think our offense needs to be reinvented, just evolve.

I'd like to see us add WR screens on 2nd and long instead of run plays, more inventive use of motion, and finding ways to get Henry in space (run out of the spread gun, pistol, etc).
The offense as a whole isn't broken, but there's always room for improvement. I'd be afraid that bringing in an outside OC could set Tannehill up for failure if they swing the pendulum too far the other way.
His track record isn't bad actually. It's probably on par with some of the other experienced names floating around. That said, we don't know what he's learned in the last couple years and how involved he was in schemes and game plan. I'm open to brining in an outsider, but my point was, if it's going to be in-house I think he's the better choice over Pat O'hara or the other position guys.Why do you think Downing could improve our offense?

Tells me its either an in-house hire or someone from the college ranks? Maybe a lesser known positional coach elsewhere?
A playoff team coach? Wouldn't that be nice...Could be a coach from a team still playing.
