Mike Vrabel fired Ranking the top five candidates for Titans head coach vacancy including Eric Bieniemy
Blog Article
The surprisingly made the decision Tuesday to five Mike Vrabel as head coach, after going 54-45 in six seasons with two AFC South titles and three playoff appearances. Going 6-18 in his final 24 games, including finishing 7-10 after a 7- J. T. Realmuto Jersey 3 start in 2022, helped determine Vrabel's fate in Tenne see -- no matter the earlier succe s he had with the franchise.Since the Titans made the controversial decision to fire Vrabel, the franchise is fully going through with their rebuild without the head coach who kept the organization stable. Tenne see is likely looking for an offensive head coach, one who'll pick his own quarterback and shape the roster in his image.The Titans didn't take the last-place finish in the AFC South lightly, so they blew it up. Who are the best coach candidates available for Tenne see, given the direction the franchise is heading?This list doesn't include Bill Belichick or Jim Harbaugh, since the Titans appear to be going for a rebuild, a different direction that what those two are likely seeking for their next head coaching opportunity (should they want one). All these candidates would be first-time head coaches. Age:36Current role:defensive coordinatorPerhaps Vrabel having a defensive background forces the Titans to go in the opposite direction, but Macdonald is the top defensive coordinator available this hiring cycle. Macdonald was with the under Wink Martindale from 2014 through 2020 before serving as Michigan's defensive coordinator in 2021.Since Macdonald returned to Baltimore in 2022, the Ravens led the league in points allowed per game (16.5) and finished sixth in yards allowed per game (301.4). Baltimore led the NFL in points per po se sion allowed (1.35).The Ravens have an elite defense under Macdonald, one of the bright defensive minds in the league. Age:40Current role:USC head coachIf the Titans go for an innovative offensive mind, would they take a chance on Riley? The USC head coach has developed plenty of quarterbacks at Oklahoma and USC, including,,and Caleb Williams. The i sue with the Titans is simple -- do they have a franchise quarterback that's enticing Tim McCarver Jersey enough for Riley to leave the college ranks?The "Air Raid" offense would be intriguing for any franchise, and it fits with how the NFL has developed into a pa sing league. Riley would be an "outside-the-box" hire, but the Titans already had an "outside-the-box" firing.Age:36Current role:offensive coordinatorSlowik has only been an offensive coordinator for a year, but the play-caller has done wonders withthis season. Stroud was just the fifth rookie quarterback to throw for 4,000 yards in a season and became the first rookie since at least 1950 to lead the NFL in pa s yards at end of any week following Week 13 and has the second-most 25-yard completions (38) by any quarterback through 13 career games in the past 30 seasons (has the most with 44). The Texans offense elevated from 31st and 32nd in points (1.43) and yards per po se sion (24.3) to 13th in both categories (1.89, 30.4). Slowik is already a play-caller, so settling into a head coach role would be a smoother transition. It also helps he spent all of his head coaching career with Kyle Shanahan before joining the Texans.Perhaps Slowik isn't ready to become a head coach yet (like offensive coordinator in 2022), but it would be wise for the Titans to call.Age:37Current role:offensive coordinatorThe top offensive name being floated out there amongst the head coach candidates in the NFL, Johnson has a background as the wide receivers coach with the, and he elevated his stock as the offensive coordinator in Detroit. The Lions are fourth in points per po se sion (2.44) and fourth in yards per po se sion (35.8) under Johnson and have a top-five rushing offense in rushing yards per game (135.9) and yards per carry (4.6). The Lions were fourth in points per po se sion (2.48) and third in yards per po se sion (36.6) last season -- Johnson's first year as offensive coordinator. Johnson could revitalize the Titans franchise with fresh ideas, and he'd be given time to fix the roster in his image. Tenne see seems to be going with an offensive identity with its next head coach and the franchise tends to hire young head coaches (based on the past 30 years). Perhaps Johnson is the direction they ran towards.Age:54Current role:offensive coordinatorBieniemy still has not gotten a head coaching job despite many excellent years as theoffensive coordinator. He called plays with the this season, but Ron Rivera was fired just this week.The scored the most points per game in the NFL (30.1) when Bieniemy was the offensive coordinator from 2018-2022, along with the most yards per game (406.2). Kansas City also had the best record in the NFL during Bieniemy's run, going 64-18 with five conference championship game appearances and twotitles in the five years he was the offensive coordinator. Chiefs quarterbackalso had the most pa sing yards, pa sing touchdowns, and the highest pa ser rating in that span -- all with Bieniemy as the offensive coordinator. The development of Mahomes -- andfor Drew Hutchison Jersey at least the first half of the season -- could be enough to give Bieniemy a shot with a rebuilding roster. Coming from the Andy Reid coaching tree doesn't hurt either, which could be the direction the Titans seek this upcoming cycle.
