Whisenhunt spent the past year in San Diego as offensive coordinator with the Chargers gaining the fifth-most yards in the NFL, while Philip Rivers matched his career-high passer rating helping burnish the coach's reputation for his work with quarterbacks.
The new coach has to fill his coaching staff,Scarpe Air Force Just Do It, and he said he has no agreements with any assistants yet. He plans to meet with the remaining Titans' assistants still under contract. John McNulty appears to be a top candidate as his offensive coordinator, though Whisenhunt said he plans to call plays himself unless told he can't.
