The Titans have fired Offensive Coordinator Chris Palmer. Head Coach Mike Munchak said the team needed a change in direction. Some Titans fans have been asking for change and now they've got it. With the Titans at 4-7 and their playoff hopes slim, they're hoping that a change off the field will give them an offensive spark. The Titans have the 24th ranked offense in the NFL and that's led to the coaching switch. Palmer was replaced by Dowell Loggains, who has served as the Titans Quarterbacks Coach in recent years. The switch comes with 5 games left in the regular season. Head Coach Mike Munchak issued a statement:
"I have a great deal of respect for Chris Palmer as a coach and that was the reason I brought him here. I appreciate the time and effort he put in here and I want to wish him and his family the best moving forward. As an offense, I didn't feel like we were progressing the way that I had hoped. I believe we needed a change in direction and I hope to see that progress in our remaining games. Dowell has worked here for a number of years under some very successful coordinators and he is ready for this challenge."
So who is Dowell Loggains? He was the Titans Quarterback Coach for the last 3 years, getting some of the best seasons out of Kerry Collins and Vince Young. He was also the Offensive Quality Control Coach for 2 seasons. Before that, he was the University of Arkansas Quarterback. The Titans have their work cut out for them. They host the 10-1 Houston Texans this weekend at LP Field. We want to hear from you. Now that Chris Palmer is out, do you think the Titans offense will get better? Let us know on our Facebook page.

Storms from Okla. weakening as they move to Tenn.
May 21, 2013 17:23 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The storm system that brought devastation to central Oklahoma is expected to weaken before moving into Tennessee.
The National Weather Service updated its guidance to include all but the mountains of East Tennessee in an area that has a slight risk of severe thunderstorms through Wednesday morning.
Meteorologist Brittney Coleman with the NWS office in Nashville said high wind and hail are the major threats with the storm system. The slight probability of severe storms was extended Tuesday through the Tennessee River Valley.
NWS forecaster John Sirmon in the Memphis office said rain falling Tuesday morning in West Tennessee would help ensure the approaching heavier line of thunderstorms doesn't run into unstable air. The line is expected to move across the Mississippi River between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Tuesday.
