All four NFCS coaches are total morons so I think any of the bucs falcons or saints COULD win the division. Would not be at all surprised if all but Reich end up getting fired this year though barring a playoff win for one of them

A lot of titans fans were really concerned vrabel was going to go back to tannehill and drive everybody completely insane, myself included. But I don’t think there’s any chance of him getting fired now that they’re committed to starting Billy Jeans

Vrabel isn’t getting fired. Maybe if things get really bad next season? Carthon was clearly brought in to work with what vrabel wants, I don’t think he necessarily outranks him to the point of firing him to get “his guy” in there. If things take a bad turn next season, sure, I could see it

I still think vrabel is safe because they should squeak out one or two more wins but Shane Bowen has to be gone IMO, this defense is pathetic. I would be fine with both coordinators gone tbh, Tim Kelly has not adapted to his rosters weaknesses whatsoever

The titans strengths are supposed to be run blocking, rushing, and play action on offense, and run defense/pass rush on defense. All five of these have been huge weaknesses this season. The result is a team that isn’t good at anything and is actively bad at everything basically. I honestly can’t judge to what degree coaching is responsible for the backslide because the roster is cheeks. But when you look at the titans you have a few good pieces, a few guys who are competent but surrounded by bums, and a defense that is bereft of talent. Like, levis has shown flashes, tyjae spears looks promising, Hopkins and the bottom of the wr rotation are ok but the oline has two pieces that are good to serviceable and three spots that need to be filled. Good thing they are laden down with all this free agency money

Yeah get Bowen the gently caress up out of here. I knew it was bad but didn’t realize it was this bad. The roster is not good but dude has had two good years, all of which he had jim Schwartz on his staff as his “defensive quality control” weed carrier

The Steelers' biggest problem is they didn't invest in a QB for years when Ben was in obvious decline, then when their hand was forced, drafted Kenny Pickett.

Ben was only at the point of being detrimental to the teams ability to run an offense in his last season and he was such a loving weepy diva that if the team had tried to add somebody worth a poo poo to develop behind him, his fat rear end would have been sprinting to the headphones to bitch about it on his Rape Power Hour radio show. Mike tomlin deserves a medal for managing his ego as long as he did

Saleh is absolutely getting fired. Anybody leaking to the media about how it’s not their fault is dead already. Rodgers never said poo poo about wanting to play for him.

I think Tomlin isn’t going anywhere this year but if the Steelers eat poo poo next year maybe. I do give him a ton of respect for wasting that cromagnon dipshit watts career though

The titans switched to zone blocking when vrabel took over and it was very good for our offense while we had peak Henry, elite line play at three of five positions and the tannehill/AJB connection but I’d be thrilled to go back on it, we don’t have the personnel to be effective up front at anything right now

I said this over in the AFCS thread but Russini has been a direct line to vrabel so take what she reports with that particular grain of salt. Not saying it isn’t true but it’s definitely going to be what one specific person wants out there.

Anyway this move is stupid but if it means bringing in an offensive minded coach I’m fine with it. The draft capital and available money for free agency are a big incentive and levis showed enough to be encouraging and to not require a qb move for next season. So I’m not gonna lose any sleep over it

Article lost me hard when it criticized the Robinson firing as nonsensical. Yeah, it's weird how getting dominated by AJ Brown in a game after trading him will make you question a GM's ability! I don't think Adams Strunk has been the most stable owner, but losing confidence in Robinson is not the most absurd choice in the world.

If these leaks are anything to go by, I'm wondering if Bill not being totally ready to "part ways" with New England is just throwing a wrench in everyone's plans, which is what the "doing a trade would take too long" means, because by the time Bill makes a decision one way or another, the coaching roulette is exhausted and you're hosed (and the Titans probably don't get Belichick in the meantime). So better off jumping in, especially if someone has your interest, and whatever goodwill is there isn't because Vrebel clearly wanted to move on, preferably to New England. It's... not aimless, but it is a maelstrom of circumstances that could potentially gently caress the Titans, but I'd like to think if there's this much urgency to get in on the coaching search that there's already a coaching target. I'm going to reserve judgement until I see who the Titans hire. I don't think this is the end of the world, but it could be. Too soon to tell.

Yeah, nothing against rexrode generally but how anybody could defend Jon Robinson after seeing the state of this team last season and this season is beyond me.

Was Strunk the same owner of the Titans that talked with Josh McDaniels, while Mike Murlakey was still under contract and Murlakey had won a playoff game? Then had to fire Murlakey when it leaked she talked to McDaniels? Or am I thinking of someone else?

I don’t recall there being any smoke about them targeting mcdaniels but they did fire mularkey even though he won a playoff game. They got waxed by New England after that win and then he got canned

I’m assuming it meant it would be too complicate to arrange a trade without it taking too long and causing them to miss on other candidates.

Tennessees GM just had press availability where he said that he was in lockstep with Mike vrabel which is pretty funny, he also said that our offensive line would have been fine if they weren’t playing hurt which is comical. I’ll have to watch the clips but I’m not feeling reassured lol

Titans have requests in with a ton of guys I’m not interested in so far. Aaron Glenn, Antonio pierce, mike Kafka, mike Macdonald. Also have requests in with frank smith and Brian Callahan, both cool with me.

Input and control are different things. Vrabel having full roster control would be bad. It’s not like he didn’t have any pull, he was the one who wanted Deandre Hopkins here and got him even though the FO was wanting a bigger tear down.
