Titans Hire Mike Vrabel as HC

[MakeMyDay]

Tennessee has found its new leader.

The Titans have hired Mike Vrabel as the franchise's new head coach, the team announced on Saturday. Vrabel previously coached with the Houston Texans from 2014-16 as linebackers coach, and spent 2017 as the Texans' defensive coordinator.

He has half as much NFL coaching experience as Nagy...

So much for further developing Mariota.

Anybody’s got to be better than Mike Mularkey.

 

[Monsieur Tirets]

but was he a real estate agent?

Well I got nothing to say

That was quick

feel bad for mariota...maybe vrabel puts a good offensive staff together tho

Horrible hire! Fire a playoff HC for a one year DC who had a bad year?

 

[ijustposthere]

Really? It depends on what staff he puts together, but it looks like the Bears have made the best coaching moves so far. I mean, everywhere else has me completely unimpressed.

Will he also catch touchdowns in goalline plays too?

I don't understand this hire at all. He seems like a solid guy, but Mariotta needs some continuity in their offense if he is going to develop to his potential. Hiring a defensive HC won't get that done. Glad the Bears aren't going to do that with Trubs.

This was probably the worst year to need a new HC in a while.

Vrabel has seen Tom Brady naked

“A playoff HC”?

You’d retain Mularkey because he got to the playoffs?

Am I mixing up people here or wasn't it Mularkey that kicked the Titans to the curb by not wanting to fire his OC?

yep. He was extended but he refused to fire his OC, so he and the Titans parted ways

That's exactly it. Mularkey was the AFC's John Fox anyway. They got lucky to make it in the playoffs with how shitty the AFC was.

Word is he was let go because they wanted MM to change his offense to feature MM as more of a pocket passer and eliminate so much running so as to protect his slight frame.
