| Heimerdinger with Jeff Fisher |
Former NFL assistant coach Mike Heimerdinger passed away Friday night in Tijuana, Mexico after battling cancer for the past year.
Heimerdinger, 58, had been diagnosed with a "Small-cell, fast moving" cancer in November while serving as the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans. He missed one game and came back to finish the season.
He had been receiving treatments at a couple of hospitals and went as far as Tijuana to get treated for the disease.

Funeral arrangements have not been made for Heimerdinger who spent most of his career with the Titans. He briefly left to coach with the Jets and Broncos before returning to Nashville.
He was very popular with his players and a close friend of former Titans coach Jeff Fisher, who told the Tennessean, "I lost a really, really good, true friend".
