Mike Vrabel has been honored as the NFL's Coach of the Year for the 2021 season.
The 46-year-old is the first person in Tennessee Titans history to receive the award. This comes after they finished 12-5 and earned the top seed in the AFC playoff field.
Entering the year, a 12-win season and an AFC South title wouldn't have felt like monumental achievements for the franchise. The Titans went 11-5 and clinched a division title in 2020 and reached the AFC Championship Game in 2019.
But Tennessee's outlook wasn't looking good after Derrick Henry suffered a foot injury in a Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
