I'm going to tell you why you shouldn't panic that the Tennessee Titans missed out on John Harbaugh. There are a lot of good options, and there are reasons for concern with John Harbaugh that are playing out over the last 12 to 24 hours as well.

Also, I'm going to tell you who my best remaining candidates are and who I think will be the finalist

for the Tennessee Titans head coaching job next week.

Finally, I'll tell you why you can be mad that John Harbaal didn't sign with the Titans,

but you cannot blame Amy Adams Strunk for that. Now, before we get into all of it, do want to thank you for making a locked on Titans, your first listen each and every day.

But with that being said, again, whether you want to call it cope, whether you want to call it hope, whether you want to call it dope, I don't think that the Tennessee Titans should panic that they lost out on John Harbaugh. Now, number one, I've been telling you guys all week. I don't think that the Tennessee Titans should panic that they lost out on John

Harbaal. Now number one, I've been telling you guys all week, I didn't think John Harbaugh was

going to sign with the Tennessee Titans. I thought he was going to go to the New York

Giant so I'm not going to panic about something that played out exactly like I expected. And not

only that, but as I have also said throughout the process, John Harbaugh is not the only good coach that was available.

It's not like it's Harbaugh or bust for the Tennessee Titans. That's just not how I view this head coaching cycle.

Like that's not what I feel about the candidate list that is out there. I think there are a lot of good candidates who could end up being great head coaches to get the Tennessee Titans back to winning football. And quite frankly, that's how I feel about a lot of stuff this offseason. Look at the NFL draft. I'm not going to be gung-ho. It's got to be this guy. And if they don't take this guy, I'm going to be angry. And that's exactly how I feel about this. I thought John Harbaugh was the best candidate available. But he's far from a perfect candidate. It's not like if the Titans hired John Harbaugh that it was an automatic guarantee that they would turn into a winning program once again. I think there are a lot of reasons for concern with John Harbaugh again you call it cope hope dope whatever you

want I think that if you're not being honest about the downsides of John Harbaugh

then you weren't at like fairly evaluating these head coaching candidates think about

the realities here he's 63 years old a lot of you guys told me you didn't want

Mike McCarthy because he's too old well John Harbaugh is a year older than Mike McCarthy. Not only that, but he's not a coordinator. He was a special teams guy who came up under Andy Reid. He doesn't do offense. He doesn't do defense. Now look, John Harbaugh knows football. As I say all the time, Harbaugh has probably forgot more about football than I will ever know

I'm not gonna get up here and tell you I know more about offense or defense than John freaking hardball is Super Bowl winning coach

But at the same time amongst his peers in the NFL
