New Titans coach Mike Munchak making changes, lots of them....

Enough that there will probably be an entirely new coaching staff come next season (or whatever season they next play--strike).

Included in those being told their services are no longer needed, offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger. You'll recall Heimerdinger was diagnosed with cancer this past November, he kept coaching through chemotherapy treatments.

One coach who may be heading to Nashville, Texans offensive line coach Bruce Matthews, a former teammate of Munchak's. By coincidence, the Titans just happen to be in the market for an offensive line coach.

Enjoy your NFL tidbits here as we go, because as the clock ticks closer to March 4th, the likelihood of an NFL strike is sitting there like the elephant in the room.

We think Munchak is a good hire for the Titans and the house-cleaning, though painful, is necessary. They have a major rebuilding job ahead of them and you gotta start somewhere.

Because we couldn't find any embeddable video of Munchak or Heimerdinger, take a look back at one of the greatest plays in Titans history:

Heimerdinger to coach Sunday, even after Cancer diagnosis....

Believe it or not. If you are looking for a way to get a football team inspired. This probably would be a good way to do it.

Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger was diagnosed with cancer earlier this week. He and the Titans declined to be more specific than that. Heimerdinger will begin chemotherapy treatment on Monday. But not before he travels to Houston and coaches his offense against the Texans.

Heimerdinger didn't want to talk about his decision, but here is the follow up story from today RIGHT HERE

Thankfully, he consulted with his doctors before making this decision. Heimerdinger, who is in his second stint with the Titans is widely respected by his players and in coaching circles. In fact, he is very close with Texans coach Gary Kubiak, who he'll be going up against on Sunday.

Hopefully, the chemo won't keep him down long. The Titans are still in the playoff hunt and need him to be there and coaching. But the most important thing is his health. He knows that and the team knows that. We wish him well.
