Mike Vrabel’s Career with the Tennessee Titans

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Mike Vrabel and the Tennessee Titans have had an incredible six-year journey.

Vrabel, who was dismissed on Tuesday, has a 54-45 record with the Nashville team since coming in 2018. During his tenure, the Titans made the playoffs three times, going 9-7 in his first two seasons and advancing to the AFC Championship Game in 2019, defeating the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens along the way before falling to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Titans finished 11-5 the next season but were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. The Titans entered the postseason as the AFC’s No. 1 seed in 2021, with a 12-5 record, but lost their home playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

However, the last two seasons have been difficult. They finished 7-10 after losing their final seven games of the 2022 season, missing the playoffs with a final-game loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

This year was much worse, with a 6-11 record. “This year has also been extremely frustrating.” Nobody wants to be where we are right now,” Vrabel said last week. At the very least, he won his farewell game, defeating Jacksonville 28-20 at Nissan Stadium on Sunday. The Titans’ sole win over an AFC South opponent this season, as they were swept by the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts.

But it’s been a wild trip with Vrabel as a player, a former Super Bowl champion. Here’s a gallery of about two dozen photos from his tenure with the Titans. Enjoy!
