Interesting. Very inexperienced. Maybe it will work. He's got the benefit of taking over a playoff team

Good for Mike, but if they don't bring in a capable OC they're finishing last in the South next season. I wonder if the Rams would let LaFleur go somewhere he can call plays.

Vrabel told Wyatt the following about the opportunity:
"This is an incredible opportunity and one I have been preparing for my entire football life. I want to thank [owner] Amy [Adams Strunk], [general manager] Jon [Robinson] and the entire Titans organization for putting their faith in me. I am excited to get to work and that work starts now. We want to build a culture around winning, competitiveness and toughness. Everything we do is going to be geared towards winning and being physical. We want to prepare our players so they know what to do, which will allow them to play fast and aggressive."

For the Browns, disappointing to say the least. Why not take a shot on Vrabel instead of sticking with Hue. I didn’t believe that they would really keep him but it actually looks like it’s true. Fuck fuck fuck the Browns suck.

MIKE VRABEL BOMBED HIS OHIO STATE INTERVIEW SO BAD URBAN MEYER MADE HIM DO IT AGAIN

Mike Vrabel returned to Ohio State in 2011 to begin his new coaching career under Luke Fickell as a linebacker coach.
Despite the accolades Vrabel earned as a player and his one-year stint as a position coach, he still had to interview for his job when Urban Meyer arrived in 2012.
Up until that time, the only interview experience Vrabel had was with his old teammate and friend Fickell, which probably wasn't much of an interview at all. Meyer, however, held Vrabel to a different standard—one he didn't meet right out of the gate.
According to Vrabel, he bombed his first interview so bad Meyer made him do it again.
From Doug Samuels of footballscoop.com:
“I bombed my first interview. Urban Meyer interviewed me and I bombed it. It’s an amazing and humbling story that I shared with [owner] Amy [Adams Strunk] and [GM] Jon [Robinson].”
“But Urban had faith in me, and he called me that night and said, ‘That’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I want you to come back tomorrow at 6 in the morning, and I want you to do it again.’ So I left the house, and went down and stayed in the office, stayed up all night, cleaned my thoughts up, got things in order, did the interview, and he hired me at Ohio State.”
The move shows why Meyer has been so successful in hiring assistants. Vrabel served as his defensive line coach for two years before departing for the Houston Texans.
Six seasons after Vrabel almost washed out of Columbus, he's now an NFL head coach.

MIKE VRABEL CREDITS HARD WORK, URBAN MEYER FOR QUICK RISE TO NFL HEAD COACH
Becoming an NFL head coach is typically a job that requires many years of experience coaching at lower levels or as an NFL assistant coach.
Former Ohio State defensive lineman and assistant coach Mike Vrabel, however, is the head coach of the Tennessee Titans just seven years after his career as an NFL player came to an end.
"He has elevated faster than any coach I can ever remember in this profession," said longtime Ohio State assistant coach and current director of football relations Tim Hinton while introducing Vrabel at the Ohio State Coaches Clinic on Friday.
Vrabel, who played 14 seasons in the NFL, won three Super Bowls in the process and is now an NFL head coach at just 42 years old, said many people have told him that he is lucky to have had all of those opportunities. But while Vrabel doesn’t dispute that fact, he also believes he has done his part to create his luck – and that others who want to have similar success as a player, coach or in anything they do can the same – by working hard every day along the way.
"The harder you work, the luckier you get," Vrabel said. "I’m trying to do the best job in the job I have."
In his presentation to the coaches in attendance on Friday, Vrabel said he rarely talks to his players about what he did in his own playing career. Despite all the success he has already had in his career as a player and a coach both at Ohio State and in the NFL, Vrabel says he focuses on what he can do going forward rather than what he has already done.
"I just don’t take things for granted," Vrabel said after his presentation. "Every day you got to prove your value to the team, make sure that you’re prepared and just don’t take things for granted."

INTENSITY IN TENNESSEE. Mike Vrabel has made one thing crystal clear during his first offseason as a head coach – he and his staff are going to be fiery as hell.
From The Tennesseean:
Wide receiver Devin Ross was the fourth player out of the locker room Sunday. He walked onto the practice field as Vrabel ran past him. Vrabel turned to Ross as he passed by.
"Jog, don’t walk!” he said.
In his first training camp as an NFL was coach, Vrabel's intensity has yet to dip while on the practice field. Players are responding well to his hands-on approach.
I'm always skeptical when an NFL coach – especially a new one – tries to bring intensity and get in the faces of professionals making millions, who've been in the league longer than said coach has been coaching.
