There were times it seemed like CAA had a lot of sway with Robinson and the Titans. In addition to Tannehill, they represent Derrick Henry, Harold Landry, Taylor Lewan, Bud Dupree, Ben Jones, Morgan Cox, A.J. Moore and Nicholas Petit-Frere. That's a pretty good list of Titans. Did Robinson sharing an agency with them help or hurt in negotiations?

Damn that is some interesting stuff about CAA and the deals that a lot of those players have since gotten from this organization.

It’s fine if Vrabel has total control. He is on the hook for whatever happens now.

I wonder what type of QB the now more Vrabel led franchise would prefer. Which QBs generally give us the most fits? That's usually the type of QB coaches like Vrabel prefers

Some interesting tidbits from PK's new article today:

 

- Robinson hired Vrabel and Vrabel will now surely have a hand in hiring the next GM. He should. He will certainly be of more influence. But as good as Vrabel is, I’ve talked to people around the league who believe it’s a danger to give a strong-willed coach something like complete control.

 

- His (Robinson's) outward-facing personality and the way he interacted with players were healthy for the franchise. I can't imagine, however, that it didn't drive Vrabel crazy that his GM frequently wore a whistle and found ways, even if they seemed minor, of getting himself involved in practices. Most people in his position watch practices with a keen eye, they don't get involved in them.

 

-  Vrabel didn’t thank Robinson in his coach of the year speech at NFL Honors the night before the Super Bowl in February. In July, he said, “I don’t want to be a coach who relies on talent.”

 

- But it’s a good time for fresh blood and I hope Vrabel, who’s got a wide network from coaching at Ohio State and with the Texans and from playing in Pittsburgh, New England and Kansas City, will point Strunk to some candidates who would come in with a different view and perhaps a better scouting resume at some positions – offensive line, wide receiver – where the Titans are struggling.

 

- Creative Artist agency is one of the biggest and most important agencies in the game, and Brian Ayrault of CAA counts Robinson as a client. He also counts Ryan Tannehill as a client.

CAA is a massive agency, there are crossovers like this in every NFL organization. It's possible that it created some bias but very unlikely, in my opinion.

winning playoff games matters... they haven't been doing that. 

Ok. So you see what happens these playoffs. The whole thing is odd to do at this time.

Vrabel not thanking Robinson at his COY speech is mega petty

No doubt someone exactly like what they saw on Sunday.  A Jalen Hurts clone.

I hope this newfound power goes to Jen Vrabel’s head and she reopens her Twitter account

I think Robinson was on a downwards trend for some time, but I'm still really uneasy about Vrabel picking the players if that's how it goes

 

One thing we will see: A lot less medically questionable players

[StephenIsLegend]

Our first round pick next season is probably going to be ready to play immediately!

Yup. Vrabel hates these injury prone fucks.

I agree the timing is off but its clear AAS lost confidence in Jrob's ability to run the team. There appears to be quite a bit coming out about Jrob and Vrabel disagreeing on big moves. I just find it odd all this came to a head in 9 months after both guys got extensions.

As it should be.  Vrabel's earned that right IMO.  The top coaches generally have more say in personnel.  Vrabel's right there.

I think you guys are fooling yourselves if you thought this season was a real contender season after going all-in last season. Once Landry went down, this year was done. Once Lewan went down, the ceiling was winning the division. 

 

But this current team is structured to retool and make another run with key talent while shedding obvious contracts and getting through the Tanny contract. Simmons is/was the last piece.
