After a pair of sub-.500 seasons, the Tennessee Titans parted ways with head coach Mike Vrabel. Recent success didn’t come as plentiful, but many were surprised the Titans would move on from one of the more respected coaches in the NFL. 

Vrabel has since interviewed for several NFL head coaching vacancies and even more for defensive coordinator. 

Bookies.com veteran oddsmaker Adam Thompson has nfl odds as to where Vrabel will coach for 2024. 

Vrabel, 48, led the Titans to a 54-45 record in six seasons. That included three playoff berths, with the team advancing to the AFC Championship in 2020, and a 12-5 record in 2021. But Tennessee went 7-10 in 2022 and was 6-11 in 2023, taking dead last in a mediocre AFC South. 

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that if Jim Harbaugh didn’t take the head job with the Chargers, the team had Vrabel as its backup choice. 

Despite that endorsement, Vrabel hasn’t landed a head gig yet. Now, the Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders remain the only vacant HC spots. Both teams likely would have hired Vrabel by now if they were planning on it. But Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has announced he’s remaining in Detroit, and Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald – a favorite to land a head job after a successful to the AFC Championship Game – can’t come to terms with a team, Vrabel is still a strong candidate. 

The Seahawks and Commanders could need new DCs once a head coach is selected if it’s not Vrabel. 

The Baltimore Ravens might be a new DC if Macdonald leaves for one of the head coaching spots. Vrabel and Baltimore coach John Harbaugh have had heated moments in the past, which could hurt Vrabel’s chances.

There are several DC vacancies at the moment, including spots at established, successful teams. The Los Angeles Rams and Miami Dolphins are each looking for new DCs after advancing to the playoffs this season. 

The same goes for the Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Buffalo Bills, and Las Vegas Raiders, though the scuttlebutt seems to indicate another direction for those teams. 

The Atlanta Falcons just hired defense-minded Raheem Morris as their head coach, so his focus is likely more on the offensive side to add a veteran play-caller. 

The Dallas Cowboys (Dan Quinn), Carolina Panthers (Ejiro Evero), and Detroit Lions (Aaron Glenn) could have an open DC spot if their current coordinator moves on. 

The Cowboys and Lions lead The Field, though there is the real chance Vrabel takes a break from the sidelines for a year and recharges. After all, he’s owed $36 million from the Titans, so there is nearly zero financial incentive to jump back in. A one-year hiatus is in the cards.
