Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Titans finished 7-9, putting Munchak on the hot seat with one year remaining on his contract. He met with Smith on Friday in Houston and convinced him that the team is close to a breakthrough. The Titans haven’t been to the playoffs since 2008 and haven’t won a playoff game in a decade. Munchak, who replaced Jeff Fisher in 2011, has a record of 22-26. According to Tennessean staffer Jim Wyatt, the Titans still have plenty of issues to sort through, including some on Munchak’s staff. Defensive coordinator Jerry Gray and senior assistant Gregg Williams both have expiring contracts. Running back Chris Johnson is scheduled to make $8 million in 2014, and quarterback Jake Locker is heading into the final year of his contract. We'll be watching for more.
