Filed under: Titans

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Titans coach Mike Munchak has fired offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger as he starts to remake his coaching staff a day after taking over the top job.

Heimerdinger, who is continuing cancer treatment after diagnosed in November, confirmed to The Associated Press on Tuesday that he had been fired.

"It's never easy to be fired," Heimerdinger said. "He has to do what's good for the Titans, and Munch will do what's best for the Titans. I appreciate my time here, but it's never easy to be fired."

The Titans had no immediate comment.

Munchak was introduced Monday and promised that changes were coming. Heimerdinger, under contract for 2011, was the second coach the Titans interviewed to replace Jeff Fisher. After Munchak was hired, Heimerdinger said he was happy that Munchak got the job.
