Today's decision leads me to believe that the Titans organization doesn't know how to identify root causes of failures within their organization.

Vrabel's going to have so many options, but I'm guessing the top candidates are Patriots followed by the Raiders (IMO they should stick with their interim, but not what Raider's ownership typically does). As a Detroit fan, I'm very much hoping he doesn't land in Chicago.

I just don't get why Vrabel is being released when he has done as much as possible to elevate a team which has had very few superstars (Henry and now Hopkins is all that I can really think of) at his disposal and one of the most mediocre quarterbacks in football. Honestly, though, this is probably great for the guy. He leaves a martyr and will almost certainly increase his salary and have numerous suitors for his services. He could go to Atlanta and work magic with Robinson, Pitts and London. He could head off to LA and link with one of the most talented QB's on Earth. What a fascinating off season ahead

Why not rejoin him with Vrabel in Tennessee again when we had an incredible offense! We had weapons then too that are now missing, but Arthur Smith himself is a weapon at OC. I'll miss Mike Vrabel, but it might be cool to bring in a staff who will let Levis run wild. Nobody knows the future, but I don't know who the next Andy Reid is we're looking to hire. I don't see anyone I know would be better. The team is basically all-new again next year. It's a rebuild and maybe with Ran's leadership, we can build it up to be respectable and fun to watch again.

Shocked. I know some players of the Titans were injured, but Vrabel was trying his best with the players he had that were healthy. He will be a good TV Analyst, screw coaching.

Washington and ATL need to call him ASAP.

Everyone who is a titans fan and understands and sees what was happening. I think Vrabel is a good coach matter my favorite titans coach but he was pulling a bunch bs trying to get power he didn't deserve. He has shown loyalty to the wrong players and coaches over and over. I wish him the best. Our defensive front is set so we need to focus on the offense and Vrabel was actively trying to prevent it. Anyone question why they kept putting willis in over levis? When willis showed he couldn't do the job. Vrabel didn't like levis cuz the new gm picked him and it seems like the right pick.
