ESPN is reporting Mike Vrabel has been fired by the Titans. If this is true, what a massive mistake. Best coach the Titans have ever had.
Vrabel fired?

What a terrible decision

Agreed. He has done more with less talent than any coach in the NFL.
The Titan franchise is mediocre at best. They take advantage of a loyal and hopeful fan base. Sellouts = a profitable franchise. The money is all that matters to them.

With Bud in charge, I agree. But things really seemed to change once Amy took over. They made a lot of moves towards being a winning program. But this move, and hiring the GM they hired last year, are indications they are going to blow up the team and start over.
I think the titans could use a fresh start....like in St Louis or somewhere like that.

I enjoy having the Titans in Nashville. Was a season ticket holder for 15 years.
Don't feel bad, I had no clue this dude was the head coach of the TitansI seriously thought you were being sarcastic.

Steer clear, it's a trap!I seriously thought you were being sarcastic.

I no longer follow NFL, but when I did, the Titans were often making stupid decisions, nothing new.

The only sport I used to keep up with was boxing and that was several years ago.
Julio Cesar Chavez was my hero.
I believe my last heavyweight fights were the three matches between Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe (I used to have all three recorded on VHS tapes)
I may have watched a few pay per views after that but the rumor was that Don King was further corrupting an already somewhat corrupt sport to begin with idk. Sorry to rant and derail this thread, I was having flashbacks

I'm not a Titans fan but I thought Vrabel did a great job. Can't imagine he has any trouble getting another head coaching job.
Chavez was a blast to watch!The only sport I used to keep up with was boxing and that was several years ago.

He had a great KO score but anyone that was a decent challenge, it was like a small hand axe chopping down a big tree.
I've always considered the announcement that the oilers were moving here to be the beginning of the end for middle Tennessee, the people started coming shortly thereafter and it's only gotten worse as the years have gone on. My quality of life has been going down ever since they got here.
Is Jeff Fisher available? I always liked him! I quit watching the NFL when the whole kneeling thing started. The only time I've watched it since was if it was on at a restaurant or a friend's house.

I will always have a soft spot for Jeff Fisher. He was our coach during our best years. But he was also our coach during our worst years, and he ended up with a .500 record as a coach. Vrabel has the best winning percentage of any of the Titans' coaches, and he has done that with FAR less talent than Fisher had available.
I firmly believe Vrabel will be the next coach of the Patriots. Belichick is on his way out at New England. Turns out, he wasn't a very good coach without Brady.

Who was it used to have Friday night fights every week? Saw some absolutely great fights, a couple which one Fight of the Year honors.
I like to watch the lower weight classes, as they are going at it full-speed; the higher the weight, the less action.

Not to get too far off topic, but I'll never understand the sport of boxing. In almost every other sport, everything is about try to reduce concussions and head injuries. And then you have boxing - the point of which is to give your opponent a concussion. Odd...

I dont remember who used to have the Friday night bouts but I want to say that one network used to have something on Tuesday nights as well.
I can appreciate the lightweights but the Bowe Holyfield fights were so awesome. There was practically no hanging on each other time compared to most heavyweights imo. Toe to toe action. My brother was more like you in that he liked the speed with good thumpers every once in a while for the ko.

And the property taxes and everything else just sky rocketed. Terrible move for Nashville. And now they are going to build a new stadium and suck the city dry some more.
I defer to your expertise on all things whitetail deer, but I must disagree here. Perhaps he was the best coach, but the last 2 years were horrible. He was ultra-conservative on both sides of the ball. The play calling, especially on offense was....offensive! They completely wasted Derrick Henry. If Vrabel's coordinators were at fault he should've fired them.
The GMs, past and present, have been pathetic at bringing in NFL caliber talent. The current GM will not be blamed as it is not PC to do so.
