His OL coach needs to be fired His OC was a bad choice. Everyone tries to find the next McVay but right now the Titans need someone that knows how run an offense Vrabel needs to think about a QB change too it’s getting really annoying to see Mariota only see 10 yards infront on him and is scared to take shots down field when you have guys like Davis and Brown We just need an experienced guy. Someone that knows how to run the basic fundamentals. I don't even need creativity now. Just understand down distance, personnel etc. Give me some old guy for all I care.

Can't fault him for looking for the playmakers when he holds the ball trying to wait for them to get somewhat open. He has shown he will throw it before they break. He tried again yesterday. But they weren't ready against better corners or the $100 million line couldn't stop a guy with 3 career sacks from getting that in one game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerenityNow Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 All day I've just felt so defeated thinking about where our team is at right now. I watched some of what Vrabel said and feel even more defeated. Sometimes being a Titans fan is like a bad dream that you can't get out of. It sucks starting to lose faith in your head coach in his second year, because I know unless we completely flame out he'll be here next year and we'll have to endure the same thing all over again. I'm all for continuity, but the thing about continuity is that it has to be with the right guy. If we continue to put out a product like this for the rest of the season that continuity with Vrabel will only be to our detriment as a Franchise just like it was with Fisher for all those years. Vrabel was hired under different circumstances than most head coaches, so in a way I feel like it's justified for him to have a shorter leash. He didn't take over a bad team that was rebuilding. He took over a team that won a playoff game, and thought a new coach would take us to the next level and make us contenders. We've digressed so far in his tenure, and will more than likely be missing the playoffs for the second year in a row. I'm trying to be patient, but it's hard to not feel like we would've been in this exact situation or possibly better with Mularkey still running the show. So what does that say about the job Vrabel has done here so far? The one positive so far in his tenure has been that the defense has been unbelievable. God Bless Dean Pees. I love that man, and I would walk to the ends of the Earth for him. It's just a shame that the rest of the team has made our great defense virtually meaningless, because we can't score any points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSS Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I would just like to stop the knee-jerk reactions and actually give people several years to establish something. Saying a coach is on the hot seat after 4 games is just hilarious to me. Everyone loved him in August after going 9-7 in a season where Blaine Gabbert started 3 games and played significant snaps in 2 others, but now he should be on the hot seat and we should be looking elsewhere? Get the hell outta here with that. I'm done with firing someone 20 games into their job. We've tried that already. A new coach every 2 years just for the sake of giving fans "hope" because it's the unknown isn't solving anything.

That's a media concept. An identity is a media term that describes one thing a team does well and means you have a serious deficiency somewhere else.

We're all frustrated with this team, but a catch phrase to describe the way a team plays doesn't make a coach any better or worse. At the end of the day the players gotta go out and execute. The game plan was a winning game plan. Four missed FGs and three first down conversions dropped. 2 TDs brought back for penalties.

deeluxx3 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Go look at the job Theo Epstein and Joe Maddon did with the Chicago Cubs and tell me that a winning mentality is media talk. Hell, I work in advertising and I notice it at the different agencies I’ve worked at. Different standards and different cultures at different places. Exactly what Bernard Pollard has alluded to multiple times for this team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
