The Case to Keep Munchak

After browsing twitter for the past month or so, it's obvious where the fans stand on their opinion of Mike Munchak and his return for the 2014 NFL season.  It's hard to find many supporters for him and that's understandable considering the record his teams have held over the past two seasons.  You are only as good as your record says, yes, but the way this team plays and leaves their hearts on the field should be a factor in his job future as well.  He's made mistakes, yes, but he deserves just one more year, and here is why.

Team Chemistry

Coach Munchak's team have had problems closing games this season, but I have yet to see a game where they quite on each other or the coach.  This group really seems to love each other.  While the wins haven't come, I have a hard time believing they won't in the near future.  hypothetically, if we gave this team five or six mulligan plays this season, they could very well be 9-5 or better.  They love each other and they love their coach.  The wins will follow.  They just haven't gotten over that hump yet.

Improvement From 2012

Sure, the record may not indicate any improvement from last year to this year, but the play on the field has definitely said otherwise.  Other than two games, the Titans have been in every game this season going into the fourth quarter.  I know fans want wins, and rightfully so.  Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades, but the improvement does need to be acknowledged.  Accept it people.  I know you love the mob mentallity, but it's not as bad as you make it out to be.

One More Offseason of Improvements

Justin Hunter, Delanie Walker, and Bernard Pollard are three names on the 2013 roster that we didn't hear last year.  They were off season pick ups that have really helped this team improve and move forward.  If Munch can have the courage to fire Bruce Matthews and have one more successful draft and free agent class, this team should get over the hump in 2014.  The quarterback position is still a big question mark, but next season could be a perfect storm for this team.  The division is anyone's to win in the next few seasons.
