NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The last time we saw Marcus Mariota on a national stage -- on a cold January night in Foxborough, Mass. -- he was admittedly frustrated and embarrassed. Mariota was terse and on the field he looked uncomfortable.
The Tennessee Titans have taken major steps over the past two and a half weeks to ensure that Mariota doesn't feel like that to end a season ever again. Hiring Matt LaFleur as offensive coordinator might be the biggest move in the right direction and one that should bring excitement to the Titans and its fanbase.
