For The Record About Vrabel & His Future;

[TrueLuvYaBlue77]

It's a sad state of franchise position in knowing more than likely he'll be retained in 2024; however, the correct move is to fire or "respectfully" move on from him the same way Amy Adams moved on from Mike Mularkey and her father before from Munchak and can see Vrabel going back to his alma mater Ohio State or the collegiate ranks where he truly belongs for his style of coaching and philosophical ways.

 

The million-dollar question of the hour is who is the right coach to take his place barring the total and complete rebuild of this team losing its veteran core of players like Henry, Tannehill, Hopkins, and Autry by not only getting this franchise back to its winning ways but finally compete in a Super Bowl consistently like Kansas City throughout the years moving forward.

Turd Ferguson. He has a large hat.

 

 

 

We have a dozen topics on this already.

Vrabel isn’t going anywhere.

 

The dude led us to an AFC championship three years ago and the best record in the conference two years ago.
 

Vrabel has EARNED another season. There are tons of arguments against him and they aren’t all without merit. But his track record accounts for something. 
 

If we don’t make the playoffs next season after this offseason of spending, then I’ll be the first to say we need to move on. 
 

Until then, let the man work with a competent roster. He has proven he can work with less and he has proven that he can beat elite teams. No denying that.

4 years ago was the AFCCC. 3 years ago was the home loss where we went up 10, like we did against KC, and then shut the offense down. He also punted down 4 from the Ravens territory in the fourth quarter in thst one. 2 seasons ago he had a bad game plan on offense and then ran Henry coming off a broken foot 20 times for less yards than the guy who had 4 carries. 

 

Anyways, yeah he gets next year most likely. Once that doesn't work they need to completely clean house including the GM. No more back and forth about who deserves blame. Start fresh and hire a GM to hire the coach and go from there. The lines have been blurred going all the way back to Mularkey and Robinson.

He also ended the Patriots dynasty.

 

He also gave us the most satisfying playoff win in franchise history by destroying the Ravens at their home in the divisional round. 
 

Some fans have forgotten what Vrabel has done for this franchise.

 

I seriously can’t wait to dunk on you fools when we come back next season. Can’t wait for the “well we just got lucky” explanations for Vrabel winning 

[Somedude]

Too soon to fire Ran. Vrabel. It's overdue.

 

Vrabel though....Homer is the cunt fans still supporting Vrabel...the sandwhich.

Oh good - another woe-is-me, pissing and moaning thread.

That's because of this weak ass kumbaya method of hiring. Amy just wantin' errbody to get along, be on the same page, holding each other's dicks. Shotgun wedding without the shotgun.

 

Fuck that shit. Hiring complicit people to work together under this fake veneer is ridiculous. Hire a GM who has a good scouting background, has a solid vision of what makes teams competitive, who appears to have a good plan, and then gtfo of the way and let him go to work assembling the coaches/personnel.

 

THEN they can implement that kumbaya bullshit in their search for the right players because they really will be on the same page and not just saying they are because they want that fat paycheck. Plus, it let's you properly evaluate whether or not the GM you hired is actually worth a damn because the quality of everything, including the coach, falls squarely at his feet.

The Titans didn't end the Patriot dynasty.  Such a dumb take that I've seen on here pretending that win was some accomplishment of note.  Tom Brady ended their dynasty by walking away and BB the GM had rendered it a dying empire with bad drafting.....

 

Most satisfying win ever?  BS - Jags AFCC win is by far the best win.

 

In all likelihood, Vrabel gets 2024 but unless he does a 180 on the OL choices and offensive philosophy and Levis improves his accuracy, hard to see it dramatically changing in a division where the other teams are on the upswing.

I appreciate what Vrabel did back then, but he hasn’t evolved.

Here's where he lost my support.   This may have been the dumbest coaching move I've ever seen.  Return of the king, my ass.

AFCC was 4 years ago. He's had plenty of time. He's done.

The lines were not blurred when Quiver Chins got promoted to EVP of Football Operations.  He had final say/control.   The problem, of course, is that his flawed philosophy was completely aligned with Vrabel's so removing QC and plugging Carthon really was not a huge difference maker at least for year 1.

 

My hope is that the hires of Brinker and Robinson as well as Sarah Bailey (all done after the Ran hire) implement massive changes and Ran's sub attitude for Vrabel is mitigated.  Or of course Vrabel adapts and embraces a modern offensive philosophy.

[Justafan]

I question the football acumen of anyone who seriously thinks you can consistently win in the modern NFL with the Titans' current philosophy.  You can win without a drop-back passing game, but you better have a scheme that helps you produce in the passing game without it.  You can win with a run-heavy philosophy, but it better be efficient, and you must be able to pass well when necessary. You can win by shortening games and making your opponent consistently execute long drives, but not if you are undisciplined and make mistakes that extend drives, kill offensive drives, and give extra possessions to the other team.

 

You CANNOT win, though, without being aggressive. You will lose games if you take your foot off the pedal every time you get a lead. If you value running over passing, you will lose games. If you don't adapt to what is working, you will lose games. If you fight how the game is being officiated, you will lose games. It will cost you if you play for the FG and don't even try to score points before the half. If you play conservatively against more talented teams, you play right into their hands.  If you run into stacked boxes and can't protect your QB while putting more than 1-2 guys in routes, of course, you're going to lose a lot of games.

 

I'm fine with running to close out games, but to do it with a 3-point lead at half is moronic when teams put up 30+ points every week.

College HC game is all about kissing recruits' and their  parents asses in order to get them to send their kids to your school along with kissing ass of those in the transfer protocol. Much of the on field coaching is left to the assistants. It's literally the anti-thesis of how Vrabel likes to work, which is why he generally laughs when anybody brings up the idea of him going to the college ranks.
