Well, he's only had two, and he made changes both times - in fact, Kubiak was fired when the team was technically 2-11 - and that was in the same season he nearly literally died on the sidelines and the team was less than a year removed from their second consecutive playoff appearance. As Cannonball has pointed out repeatedly, there's been one legitimate season in which McNair would have been justified in firing his coach but didn't: 2010. But he did (correctly) diagnose the problem and forced the head coach's hand, which led to them finally hiring an experienced defensive coordinator who helped usher in the two most successful seasons in team history. Here are Capers' win totals: 4 5 9 2 - and he was fired. Here are Kubiak's: 6 8 8 9 6 10 12 2 - and he was fired. McNair has been patient - but not to a fault, IMO. When the train has gone off the rails, he has acted.

Mariota practiced today http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/10/28/tennessee-titans-marcus-mariota-injury-update
They don't really need quick hit players, average hit players will leave Cushing in his tracks and Joseph diving at dirt.
They are horrible but the tail end of the most recent 2-14 season was without a doubt the most boring.
I remember the Titans fans all clamoring about how great things were after their win in the first game of the season (1st place! lol...)......now they are back down to earth.....in the pits with the Texans fans.
