Tennessee Titans owner, Amy Adams Strunk, released a statement that Mike Vrabel will not be returning as the Head Coach for the Titans in 2024.
Mike Vrabel has earned the respect of players and fans during his 6 year stint as Head Coach for the Titans, highlighted by a coach of the year award in 2021. After back-to-back disappointing seasons, the Titans brass is looking to go a different direction with their Head Coaching position.
Vrabel will be one of the top coaching candidates available this offseason. Wherever he ends up, expect a smash-mouth style of football centered around physicality and the run game. The New England Patriots jump out as a good fit for Vrabel’s next gig, as there are rumors swirling that Belichick could be out as Head Coach, and the Patriots have made it clear they have an affinity for Vrabel, naming him to their Hall of Fame in October 2023.
For the Titans, expect this offense to look different next year. Derrick Henry’s farewell speech at Nissan stadium following the conclusion of the Titans’ week 18 win against the Jaguars gives off a strong indication that he’ll be moving on from Tennessee and will no longer be a focal point of their offense. Keep an eye on who they bring in as a coach and some of their offseason personnel moves to get a better feel for what their new offensive identity will be.

Second year Running Back Hassan Haskins was placed on IR ahead of NFL cut day, likely ending his 2023 season.
Haskins was drafted in the 4th round in 2022 by the Tennessee Titans and played sparingly as a rookie, carrying the ball 25 times for 93 yards (3.72 YPC) without scoring a Touchdown. While there was some hope he could be a valuable handcuff or potential replacement to Derrick Henry, it seems those days are fading fast.
On Wednesday, August 30th, Haskins is scheduled to appear in court for an aggravated assault by strangulation charge he is facing following a domestic dispute with his then-girlfriend back on June 30th. It’s truly unclear whether this IR placement is the result of an undisclosed injury he’s been dealing with, or if it’s related to his offseason issues in any way.
The Titans are set to roll with Henry as their early down back, and Tyjae Spears as the likely favorite to be on the field for passing down work. Haskins has now additionally been placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt list and is no longer able to be at the Titans’ facilities. Haskins has bigger issues to worry about than Football right now and can be safely dropped in all formats.
