Titans fire HC Mike Vrabel

[joseephuss]

Vrabel was the linebacker coach for the Texans for 3 seasons before being elevated to their DC in 2017. That year, Houston was dead last in points allowed, which was somehow good enough to get him the head coaching job with the Titans.

and MM has said he likes bringing in former head coaches as coordinators. I think Vrabel is young enough and had enough success though that someone would hire him as HC.

Yeah, probably NE if Bill leaves.

 

[visionary]

They fired the GM responsible for that last December.

The reality is that Vrabel plays a brand of football that does not win in the modern NFL. Run the ball, play defense is suicide.

Yeah, those niners and Ravens are committing suicide LOL

 

[Jayinem]

Either

Mike's weaknesses are probably his strengths, like motivating a team. The problem is Dak would then need yet another OC to call plays for him when it's working pretty well with Mike.

 

[Gonzomandela01]

I was thinking the same. Although, Al Harris might be the guy

Al might follow Q to be his DC though

 

[Jayinem]

Yeah, probably NE if Bill leaves.

Looks like Belichick is staying, he just won't be the GM anymore most likely.

Who would of thought trading away your #1 receiver and replacing him with a bust would impact your W/L record?

I mean, I can't see how they pin this solely on the coach but not the GM

That was a stupid move trading away Brown when they have an average QB. They didn’t want to pay him and ended up paying a bigger price by losing games.

If Q leaves, I wouldn't mind having him as DC. He can coach and is a good motivator.

LOL........not happening. He's now a top candidate behind Harbaugh

I hope he doesn't go to Washington

 

[loublue22]

He's a top 10 coach for sure, that's wild.

 

[Verdict]

Yes. That’s probably what we would do. But would Vrabel make a better DC? IDK.

 

[Verdict]

DQ has really pulled some fine levers in terms of turnovers in bunches. But the Patriots have had some legit snuffing defenses and Vrabel was a part of that and carried that on to the Titans.

Something tells me that if DQ left and you brought Vrabel on board and kept Harris coaching DBs you might really build a version of that historic Ravens defense that win a SB with Dilfer at QB.

 

[CowboyChris]

when you start playing musical chairs with QB's....your fate will be doomed

[Verdict]

For all the success that DQ has had in Dallas building a defense to stop the run hasn’t really been a part of that.

I like him. perhaps we can bring him in as DC....his teams always competitive with not a lot of talent on the team.

He's a head coach prospect not a DC, too well regarded in league

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Too many QBs.......

With all these head coach openings, you think he'd downgrade to DC?
