The Tennessee Titans announced Saturday night that they’ve hired Mike Vrabel, most recently the defensive coordinator for the Houston Texans, as their new head coach.
It seems that there’s been talk of the 42-year old Vrabel becoming a head coach someday, somewhere, since before he even retired from the NFL.
That day has arrived.
Vrabel was one of three men interviewed for the job, and his relationship with Tennessee general manager Jon Robinson – Robinson was in the New England Patriots’ personnel department from 2002-2013, and Vrabel’s career with the team fell into that window – appears to have played a role in the decision to make him head coach.
