List of Tennessee Titans head coaches
This is my third list for the FLC Contest. Gary King ( talk ) 18:12, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Support - My review was addressed to satisfy WP:WIAFL.-- S R X   23:30, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Support: Everything looks good to me. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 16:52, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:55, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:44, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Comment - Is there any chance you could change one of the colours (background or text) for the "Houston Oilers" row in the table. For me, in both IE and Firefox the red on blue is very difficult to read. Rambo's Revenge (talk)  22:37, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Good job. I would still like to see a note in the "Notes" section referring to the fact that no coach is counted more than once, as was formerly in the key. I was going to insert it myself but I don't understand the syntax you are using for the Notes section. Otherwise, I support. KV5 •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  15:03, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Comment refs 4 and 20 must have an author name or publishing location in it. Since those publications are really unknown, please add a bit more info to them. Nergaal (talk) 06:33, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * They're both based in Hartford, per the name. Both publications didn't come with an author. I've linked the publishers for those interested in knowing more about them. Gary King  ( talk ) 14:17, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Oppose
 * "Fisher served as the Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator for one season and the defensive backs coach for the San Francisco 49ers before he joined the Titans in 1994, when the team was called the Houston Oilers." - needs reference.
 * "Fisher has the longest tenure as head coach with one team among active head coaches in the NFL." - I reference does not reference to this sentence.
 * "Sid Gillman, who coached the Oilers from 1973 to 1974, was the team's only Hall of Fame football coach." - the reference for this sentence does not exactly say that he was the team's only Hall of Fame inductee. Also, I would suggest you write it like this (don't copy exactly until you see that it does not need copy-editing):"Sid Gillman, who coach the Oilers from 1973 to 1974, was the team's only coach to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame."
 * "...win percentage..." - I'm for sure it's winning percentage.
 * "Rymkus and Lemm have both..." --> "Rymkus and Lemm, with Gillman, have all"
 * align center the #s.
 * I suggest you change "Awards" to "Achievements", and put the championships with it. An example would be like in this article: List of Denver Broncos head coaches.
 * Can you reference the Awards section, since the references for the players do not include the awards.


 * All done Gary King  ( talk ) 03:14, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * If you read my talk page templates, I told you that letting me know that my comments are done are unnesscessary. I Support this nomination. --  SRE.K.A nnoyomous .L. 24 [c] 03:48, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

 * More comments
 * "The Oilers won two AFL championships before joining the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL merger." - The table only has one.
 * Just a suggestion, but could you link all the year to the NFL season by using Template:NFL Year. That'll be great.
 * Done. I don't want to link lone years. Gary King  ( talk ) 04:02, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't get what you mean, and why not. You linked the years on the table, so you could maybe link the years in the prose. --  SRE.K.A nnoyomous .L. 24 [c] 06:09, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Because they don't make it clear what they link to. It's the visual message that it sends, in that the reader won't know where it leads to. If, say, the text I linked was "the 2000 NFL season", however, then that would make sense, but not "And then he coached the team in 2000". Gary King  ( talk ) 15:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Most of the List of (team) head coaches do link their years, but it was just a suggestion, as it is not nesscessary. I Support this nomination. --  SRE.K.A nnoyomous .L. 24 [c] 21:51, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
