titans0021 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 My thoughts about Kelly remain the same. If we thought he was a great offensive coordinator candidate and better than any external candidate we could potentially bring in this offseason, he should have been named OC last offseason. Or in October. If Vrabel wasn’t convinced that he was better than Downing eight months ago, or even four months ago, it does little to build my confidence in the offensive direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hope- Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 this is absolutely bizarre. demoting steckel after chig and hooper both had good years and he got OC interviews? moving dews? hiring a longtime running back and RB coach to be our passing game coordinator? *promoting from within on the OL*???? nothing about this inspires any confidence that we will stop being a completely rudderless ship on offense.

deeluxx3 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Uninspiring hire, but I'll say it again. If Kelly wasn't part of the staff this past year and we hired him from somewhere else, I don't think anyone would feel salty. I think Vrabel firing Downing mid-season was likely never going to happen. Vrabel doesn't seem like a guy to rock the boat mid-year, especially w/ Tanny getting hurt mid-season...Downing was miserable but continuity is key in certain instances. the staff moves are "interesting", but I'm going to hold off judgement right now. It'll all come down to Kelly. Fingers crossed this proves to be a good move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Everything about the offensive coaching staff screams what we’ve all already assumed. This is Vrabel’s offense and it will be run the way he wants it to be run. The play caller is really the only thing that matters since the style of offense will always remain the same.

deeluxx3 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 for the record, I am not happy nor excited about this hire. I was pretty desperate for ANYONE with no ties to the org. but right now on offense we have a talent problem as much as, if not more, than we have an OC problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably the biggest criticism of Ryan Tannehill is that he needs good talent around him to succeed. For a whole coaching philosophy to be based around needing good receivers, a good offensive line, an elite RB and an incredibly efficient QB to succeed seems significantly worse? But yes, it’s shown it can work. If everything is perfect, Vrabel’s ultra conservative offense can function great, especially if he has a good play caller. Until we get to playoffs and slam Derrick up the middle for two yards a pop and force our QB into predictable passing downs with plays designed for Chester Rogers and Nick Westbrook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 The OL coach pisses me off more than anything? Our biggest issue on the team and that’s who we hire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesa_Titan Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I like how people pretend they know how a relatively unknown guy is going to perform as a positional coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
