The most shocking NFL news didn’t even come on Black Monday.
On Tuesday, the Tennessee Titans announced they had fired Mike Vrabel as head coach. That news obviously created a ton of buzz for New England Patriots fans with the possibility of Bill Belichick being the next coach to lose his job.
Belichick and owner Robert Kraft are still in discussions on how to move forward after the team finished with a 4-13 record and missed the playoffs for a second consecutive season.
Vrabel, who was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame back in October, makes sense as a succession plan for Belichick. He has the experience and familiarity with the Patriots’ organization to fit like a glove.
However, some are skeptical of the change he could realistically implement considering he’s also a defensive-minded coach, like Belichick. Here’s what fans were saying on Twitter in response to the Vrabel firing:
Mike Vrabel is a good coach but not what Patriots need. We need a GM & a quarterback.

Mike Vrabel’s philosophical view of modern football is too similar to what failed Bill Belichick in foxborough. Patriots need a complete overhaul with a focus on cutting-edge offensive innovation, something Vrabel won’t bring. Spinning your wheels by trying to keep dynasty ties.

I think it would be a huge mistake for the Patriots to hire Mike Vrabel. Belichick 2.0. Need an offensive minded HC

I wouldn’t be surprised if Mike Vrabel ends up in NE if the Patriots decide to part ways with Bill Bellichick.
