Hmm haven't really thought about this angle. He was a shit DC. If he bottoms out next year as a HC that may be all she wrote. If we lose tomorrow that's 5-19. If we lose 6 of 8 to start the year he's in historical categories for losing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our perception of him vs NFL teams is far different. If he actually wants to stay here, he has fire some assistants though. It needs to be hashed out quickly. If they can't trade him then they need to fire him. They fired Mularkey after winning a playoff game lol. We got embarrassed in NE against Brady, but still he got us there with Mariota. Vrabel just got a 30 million dollar QB injured 2 seasons in a row and the team has collapsed. It's a complete double standard and hypocrisy if she keeps him. titanskick8851, rns90, and DCTitan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do a good job at mid level management and you immediately get a better job somewhere else. But sure be mad because he hasn't found a young Monty kiffen with no aspersions of being a head coach to be able to count on for 20 years. Steve Spagnuolo wishes it were so. There's teams with stability but not the Titans. The problem though, isn't that people leave. It's that Vrabel apparently needs veteran coaches and veteran players who already know how to do their jobs before they get to Tennessee. Who has he developed?

I honestly believe IF Vrabel is not the Titans HC in 2024 its because he has looked at the landscape around him and realizes if he doesn't jump this offseason the damage to his reputation of another losing season next year would crater his chances of getting another HC gig next offseason. I have no idea what happens over the next few weeks but now feels like a good time for AAS to reboot this franchise and bring in some new blood to oversee this rebuild.

IsntLifeFunny Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 They were winded in the second half of that game after playing on the road 4 games in a row. They weren't outmatched. It is a fact Vrabel knew the above and decided to go into grind Henry mode. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OILERMAN Posted January 7 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 7 Mike Vrabel's entire reputation is a sham. He was labeled Bill Belichich before he ever coached a single down. I posted at the time of the introductory press conference how cringey it was. It seemed like the Lebron/Dwayne Wade Miami presser saying they'd win 5, 6, 7 championships. Robinson and Vrabel talked like they built the Patriot dynasty when in fact, own their own, they'd never done anything. They openly mocked Mularkey on the way out. We are going to win multiple championships, we'll be in the title game year in and year out. Famously, I won't run into stacked boxes. This is crazy talk in the NFL. In hindsight they lucked into Tannehill, he basically picked them. After sticking with Mariota too long they got on that streak and rode it to the AFC title game. Vrabel got lucky and won a few playoff games in spite of terrible strategies. Vrabel is stubborn and a bully. "Shut the fuck up LaFluer!". He meddles on the offense, which is he is clueless about. He's obsessed with Willis, who is one of the worst QBs to ever start multiple games in the league. He was going to alternate QBs before it imploded early. As he's gained more say in the team he's turned it into a disaster. Yet here he sits with teams possibly willing to trade for him and desiring him. The media still holding him in high regard. He reportedly wants total control of a team(LOL!). If the Titans can get rid of him and get picks it will be one of the luckiest things to ever happen to this franchise.

Whether it's warranted is another argument. I think he's one of the most overrated figures in the league. Aramis 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
