Players make a head coach more than a head coach makes a player.
How well has Belicheck done since Brady left?
Billicheck, the GOAT coach has a record of 81-94 with 2 playoff appearances in his career without Tom Brady as his QB.
We know what his teams did WITH Tom Brady.
Point is, no coach consistently impacts the football game enough to make up for lack of talent. A coach can "coach" his heart out...but on Sundays, the players on the field decide the final outcome to a large degree. There are MANY variables during a football game that can decide the final score... The head coach's main role during a game is making good decisions on clock management, when to go for it, when to kick FGs etc. (Which Vrabel has been back and forth from ballsy to a puss when it comes to those things)
In conclusion, the Titans will suck until there's more talent on the roster. They can change coaches 20 times but as long as they're trotting out bums like the OLinemen they have now, not much will change.
Having QB figured out goes a long way. But Billy B is the GM though, so he is literally in charge of all personnel decisions. Obviously Brady was the reason for much of their success, but all those weapons he brought in for Brady over the years and those elite defenses that supported Brady were all built by Billy B.
You are right that we need more talent. But a HC that refuses to make changes when necessary has got to take the blame as well.
I wonder if he wrote that on the board in front of his players and they all looked to each other and started nodding.preparation

"Coach done figured it out!"
I tend to agree but highly respected HC Vrabel won CotY why?Point is, no coach consistently impacts the football game enough to make up for lack of talent.
The funny part is some on here say we got the number 1 seed while setting records for injuries etc, to justify Vrabel being a good HC. Well ok then, that's means you have 3rd stringers guys off the streets playing correct? That's lack of talent no? What has changed? Vrabel did it before, won with lack of talent, why can't he now?I tend to agree but highly respected HC Vrabel won CotY why?

Who in this roster has changed driving a #1 seed/ 7-3 team to 3-13?
a couple names I know changed but none are dramatic team performance guys. AJ Brown is the only name that has that type of impact but how he was used in TN has been almost stat for stat replaced with Hopkins.
and also B11 was not a Titan last season on games 1-10 getting to 7-3... nor has he been a part of 3-13 since 7-3
point is B11 not being around clearly not 'the' reason

View attachment 21275How about if Vrabel isn't gone he is at least forced by Ran to cleanse the coaching staff of the toothpaste college guy so there will be someone capable of developing the cornerstone left tackle the Titans will inevitably select in the Top 10. There will be a lot of elite tackles available this year. Kingsley Suamataia, Joe Alt or Fashanu should be there for the taking.

Ben Jones was around getting us to 6-3 last yr and then got concussed and missed 2 games and then got concussed and sent to IR.... 1-4 without Ben Jones last yr and 3-7 without him this yr.
I knew Jones was actually a big loss, did not look at what games he had missed.Ben Jones was around getting us to 6-3 last yr and then got concussed and missed 2 games and then got concussed and sent to IR.... 1-4 without Ben Jones last yr and 3-7 without him this yr.
Correlation for the current losers streak is not just a loss of Jones but pretending Brewer is an acceptable replacement.
Also- each game exposed how to dismantle our offense. Blitz, delay blitz, run blitz, disguised blitz. Once the secret was out- every team doing the same.I knew Jones was actually a big loss, did not look at what games he had missed.

No coach wins with this OL.
To a certain extent, insanity is in play.Also- each game exposed how to dismantle our offense. Blitz, delay blitz, run blitz, disguised blitz. Once the secret was out- every team doing the same.

Vrabel keeps trying the same thing over and over expecting different results.
it’s fine, take a page out of biscuit’s book, put a 6th lineman or TE to help keep Levis alive and even slightly slow down the pass rush that has zero issue blitzing every play.
This is a HC issue not JUST the OL.
We can blame JRob for it all, he definitely deserves blame, but we've won 3 games since he was fired...Ran made OL changes and it's still an issue. Vrabel with his merry band of yes men doesn't help.
We need real coordinators not Vrabel's buddies

I can sum up the article for any who didn't read it.... Loss of Jim Schwartz. He was the DC Its blatantly obvious now.
Schwartz was too smart for Vrabel...I said a few seasons ago that Vrabel's arrogance will be his downfallI can sum up the article for any who didn't read it.... Loss of Jim Schwartz. He was the DC Its blatantly obvious now.
You are right it's playing out right before our eyes.Schwartz was too smart for Vrabel...I said a few seasons ago that Vrabel's arrogance will be his downfall
Yep, seems to me Schwartz was going to run his defense the way he thought it needed to be ran and Vrabel couldnt deal with him not kissing his ass.I can sum up the article for any who didn't read it.... Loss of Jim Schwartz. He was the DC Its blatantly obvious now.
I disagree. What are you going to counter? We can’t effectively control the blitz. You’ll get your QB killed.To a certain extent, insanity is in play.
