I'm not really impressed by this

 

[Blitzkrug]

Huh.

The funny thing here is everyone is blasting the Titans for refusing to consider anyone without a stint working with Belichick (as a coach) for the gig. Myself, and several others were surprised to learn Vrabel actually never worked for the Pats. Spent a couple years with Ohio State and then the DC job in Houston.

I feel like they would have better off going with a more offensive minded guy, but i suppose this isn't...terrible?

Could be better, could be worse.

I have no idea what type of coach Vrabel will be so who knows how it goes. I was hoping they'd go with an offensive guy because sometimes defensive coaches are too conservative. Hopefully they find the right OC now to get the best out of Mariota.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

It'll all rest on his OC hire. This guy has been fast tracked like crazy. Kind of weird tbh. I wasn't impressed with the Texans defense.

 

[Voight]

He and Jon Robinson spent 6 years together w/ the Pats and obviously he's worked under O'Brien recently. So i can see why Robinson wanted him.

In 7 years he's gone from playing for the Chiefs, to the Buckeyes LB & defensive line coach, to the Texans LB coach, to their DC and now the Titans HC. That's quite the Lane Kiffin jump.

This seems like a dumb hire. Guy coaches for his job. Wins. (KC choked) but still. And they hire a guy that’s questionable and probably worse

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Don't know if he's worse. Its just weird how Vrabel has ascended as quickly as he has with no real track record as a coach.

Knew he was in on the Colts job as well. Will be interesting to see how he does with the Titans job. Congrats to him.

Don't know if he's worse. Its just weird how Vrabel has ascended as quickly as he has with no real track record as a coach.

Patriot Way!

Seriously though a lot of it is simply because he played for BB and is viewed as a "Winner"

If Vrabel spent his entire career with Jacksonville he would still be working his way up ladder

 

[Reality Check]

Yeah...If Vrabel can't improve the offense, this is more of a lateral move than anything.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Don't know if he's worse. Its just weird how Vrabel has ascended as quickly as he has with no real track record as a coach.

It’s hard to be worse when he hasn’t been one yet. But his year as dc is unimpressive. Good thing is though is he hasn’t been one yet. Could be the goat

 

[snowden]

I think this is a big mistake by the Titans

 

[Voight]

Fun fact of the day.

Fun fact of the day.

12 career catches. 12 touchdown catches

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

Bringing in LaFleur as OC was a smart move, in my opinion.

 

[Voight]

Pees retired this year from coaching, guess Vrabel convinced him to come back.

Not surprised LaFleur left LA, not much you can do with a whiz like McVay running the show.
