Ken Whisenhunt was introduced to the Tennessee Titans media today and he announced that he would be calling the plays “unless someone tells him he can’t.” Whisenhunt was the play caller for the San Diego Chargers this season and he helped bring the Chargers offense to life. He was applauded for turning around Philip Rivers and the rest of the offense.
Whisenhunt also was able to change the reputation of Ryan Mathews. Mathews was known as a fumbling, injury prone running back, but Mathews finished the season as an asset to the Chargers offense. Mathews finished the season with over 1200 yards rushing and only fumbled twice.
What will Whisenhunt want to do with RB Chris Johnson? If the Titans decide to keep Johnson on the football team, would he be able to bring him back to form?
As the Chargers offensive coordinator, Whisenhunt implemented a quick, short passing game that allowed Rivers to increase his completion percentage and cut down on interception. He will likely try to do the same with Jake Locker and the rest of the offense.
