Titans name Munchak head coach, but is this really change?

Today, the Tennessee Titans officially promoted Mike Munchak from offensive line coach to head coach. His hiring was not a big surprise because his name was one of the first mentioned after the Titans and former head coach Jeff Fisher parted ways.

However, the big question is whether or not he is the right person for the job. When Fisher left, team officials made remarks that sometimes change is needed so everybody involved can have a fresh start. My question is: Is this genuine change?

Munchak had been offensive line coach with the Titans since 1997 and has been with the organization approximately 30 years, going back to his days as a player. Can a person with such deep roots in the organization really be considered an agent of change?

That question will likely be answered by how he handles assembling his staff. If the Titans really want new blood, more changes must take place on the staff. If this does not happen, next season's team will look very similar to what we saw in 2010.

Of course, this will all be answered in the coming weeks.

The Nightly Daily wishes Munchak success and many wins in the future.

Can the Tennessee Titans stand prosperity?

The Tennessee Titans have a bye week this week, and so far, the season couldn't have gone any better. They've posted a 5-0 record while the rest of the teams in the AFC South have struggled. The Indianapolis Colts are in second place, but they have two losses.

Next week, the Titans return to action with a game at Kansas City, which is only 1-4 and has a terrible offense. However, the following week, the Colts come to Nashville for the biggest game of the season so far.

The big question to be answered is: How will the quarterback situation unfold? Vince Young is getting healthier and will likely be ready for the Chiefs game. Coach Jeff Fisher has indicated that he will stick with Kerry Collins as long as he is winning. How will this go over with Young? Will it cause dissension on the team? Will the players take sides?

There are lots of questions to be answered, but I believe I will pause this week and enjoy the fact that the Titans are unbeaten. All those other questions will be answered soon enough.

This week's picks: New Orleans over Oakland, Philadelphia over San Francisco, Dallas over Arizona, New England over San Diego, Washington over St. Louis

Last week: 4-2 (.667), Overall: 18-11 (.621)
