There has been no shortage of rumors and speculation all season long about the Tennessee Titans and head coach Mike Vrabel possibly parting ways following the 2023 campaign.
A new report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter echoes that.
Schefter reports that the situation between Vrabel and the Titans “currently is not settled” and there is expected to be organizational meetings to determine whether or not the team will make any major changes this offseason.
The ESPN reporter adds that there are people around the league who believe that both sides could be open to moving on and that Vrabel may not be happy with the organization, although no specific reason was given.
Despite speculation that the Titans are not expected to undergo significant change this offseason, there are expected to be organizational meetings between coach Mike Vrabel and the team’s decision makers to determine whether any notable changes will be made, league sources told ESPN.
There continue to be people around the league who think that either Vrabel would be open to be moved to another team or that the Titans would be open to moving him — maybe both.
Vrabel publicly has said he wants to remain in Tennessee, but others have wondered how content he is.
Until there is further word that there will not be change, it is possible that there may be some with the Titans organization. Meetings that likely will happen this week will help determine the direction that Vrabel and the Titans go, but the situation in Tennessee currently is not settled, according to sources.
The cause of Vrabel’s possible discontent was not revealed in Schefter’s report, but there have been rumors of a rift between Vrabel and general manager Ran Carthon.
In the last 24 hours, four media members (of varying degrees of respectability) bring up #Titans HC Mike Vrabel being traded, wanting out, and/or on unstable ground with Ran Carthon.

Now more than ever, there appears to be a very realistic chance Vrabel is not the head coach of the Titans in 2024. If that’s the direction this goes, I’d expect the Titans to trade him for draft capital.
