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.

More from Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean RIGHT HERE

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:

BREAKING NEWS: Mike Munchak your new Titans Head Coach

No, it really wasn't much of a surprise, he's been the frontrunner all along. The Tennessee Titans, according to published reports are hiring Mike Munchak, the now former offensive line coach, to be the teams next head coach, replacing Jeff Fisher.

The story from WKRN-TV RIGHT HERE

Like we said, this wasn't a surprise. Munchak, who has been either a player or coach for the Franchise since back when they were in Houston as the Oilers, has been with owner Bud Adams since 1982. He's a very smart guy who is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

We didn't expect the Titans to bring someone else in unless Munchak completely tanked his interview. Adams is known for sticking with people familiar to him, heck Fisher was the coac for 16-years.

We'll update this story as a Press Conference is more than likely going to happen later on Monday.

In the meantime, enjoy this oldie but goodie...
