Jim Wyatt's report that the Titans are considering Eric Mangini for their vacant defensive coordinator position naturally made me wonder.  If Mangini is hired, would the Titans change to a 3-4 defense, where Mangini's experience lies?

My first inclination is to believe it won't happen.  Jeff Fisher will be coaching to keep his job this year.  Now is not the time to make changes which usually take several years to implement.

The length of time before a successful transition to the 3-4 is complete depends in large part on the pieces you already have in place.  When the Packers made the switch in 2009, they already had the big bodies up front that a 3-4 requires, in Ryan Pickett, Johnny Jolly and Cullen Jenkins.  They also had Aaron Kampmann, who was able, sort of, to make the change from 4-3 defensive end to 3-4 outside linebacker.  The Pack had the good fortune to draft Clay Matthews as their other OLB, and they suddenly had the makings of a good front seven.

In recent articles, we've focused on options that the Tennessee Titans could have at their disposal as they continue to look for a new starting quarterback. this offseason.

Philadelphia's Kevin Kolb is a young and talented signal-caller who is yearning for an opportunity to start, but the likely price-tag associated with attaining his services isn't going to be cheap. Denver's Kyle Orton, another possibility that we discussed, is certainly an intriguing candidate that won't require the type of compensation that the Eagles desire in exchange for Kolb.

Today, we'll turn our attention to Donovan McNabb; an established veteran QB who could also be available.

As the Tennessee Titans continue the search for their next starting quarterback, we'll continue to examine some of the more intriguing options that may be available.

Recently, the possibility of acquiring young and talented QB Kevin Kolb was discussed. Sure, he'd look great in the Titans' huddle for years to come but as I mentioned in the article, the price to snag him away from Philly is going to be steep to say the least.

Today, we'll take a look at the potential of trading for another signal-caller: Denver's Kyle Orton, a guy the Titans may be able to acquire without relinquishing their highly valuable first-round draft pick.

As we all know, courtesy of the decision to part ways with Vince Young, the Tennessee Titans are in need of a starting quarterback.

One of the more intriguing and most talked about potential starting signal-caller options is Philadelphia's Kevin Kolb. Thanks to the surprising re-emergence of a once-incarcerated and now-rejuvenated Michael Vick, Kolb's days in the city of Brotherly Love are probably numbered.

According to recent media reports, Kolb may be available, in exchange for a first-rounder.

Although a murky labor situation serves as the proverbial 800 lb. elephant in the room that may thwart this possibility from becoming a reality anytime soon, if presented with the opportunity, should the Tennessee Titans pony up the high asking price of a first-rounder to reign in Kevin Kolb as their starting quarterback for next year and beyond?
