Mike Vrabel and the Tennessee Titans, it's over! The coach has just been fired. But rumors are rife about his next destination… Patriots in sight?
Rumors have been rife in recent hours. It's now official: Mike Vrabel is no longer the head coach of the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL Network's Adam Schefter. Some expected a conventional break between the franchise and the coach, this will not be the case. Because the Titans made the right choice to fire him.
A surprise therefore, which could fuel other rumors. It is already rumored that Vrabel is eyeing Bill Belichick's place. In difficulty this season, the iconic Patriots coach seems to be in the hot seat, even if nothing is changing at this stage.
The Titans (and Vrabel) in search of new perspectives
The decision to fire Vrabel, however, raises questions. After six seasons in Tennessee, the coach's record is honorable. He compiles 52 victories for 41 defeats, in addition to notable appearances in the playoffs. Without forgetting his award for coach of the year at the end of the 2021-2022 season.
According to Schefter, the answer to this firing is actually very simple: Amy Adams Strunk, majority shareholder of the Titans, wants new perspectives. She would blame, among other things, the poor results of the last two seasons on her coach. And a timid record of one victory for 9 defeats in divisional matches recently.
But that won't stop us from saying that this former linebacker who played for the Patriots wants to return to the promised land. And mark the history of the New England franchise even further.
