Mike Vrabel will take his new club in its old stamp areas where New England Patriots visited Tennessee on Sunday.
Vrabel spent six seasons in Nashville and went 54-45 as a head coach, with three games in the playoff games, and won the coach of the year in 2021. Titans have just arrived of launching Vrabel, Brian Callahan, after 23 games.
Earlier this week, Vrabbel said, for Callahan’s shooting, he is approaching the race that each other plays.
“There will probably be a lot to say about this,” Vrabel said on Monday through Boston.com. “I think it would be presented under the category, is it interesting or important? I would probably say that this was very interesting, but in the end it is not very important for our preparation or what we need to continue to try to improve as a team.”
“… but after spending six years there or seven years there, I think it will be fun to see some that I have not seen for a few years who helped us work, players and staff. We have got a lot of work that we have to do here when we try to prepare for them.”
The head coaches who faced the former team they previously won the AP coach are 9-5 against their old club team in the last 10 seasons, including playoff games, on NFL research. These coaches are 5-1 when they are on their way to their previous team.
The last repetition of Vrabel’s experience was that Sean Payton will return to New Orleans, where his Broncos said the Saints 33-10. Others: Lovie Smith (Houston) lost to Bears 23-20; Bruce Arians (Tampa Bay) struck Colts (38-31); Ron Rivera (Washington) beat Panthers 27-21; Andy Reid (Kansas City) beat Eagles 42-30; Arians (Arizona) beat Colts 16-13.
If we go back to 1970, head coaches are 219-185-1 (.542) in games against teams they used to train, on NFL research.
Titans ran Vrabbel in January 2024 after losing periods. He was 2024 as a consultant at Browns before agreeing to lead Patriots in January 2025.
4-2 Pats, who took the leadership of the league, have started their best since 2019-start 8-0, ending 12-4, lost to Titans Vrabbel in the Wild Card round in the end of Tom Brady in New England.
The three-game victory strip of Patriots is the furthest since week 8-11, 2022.
Vrabel will look to extend it in four games streak by Shelacking his former club, which continues to live in a chaos that started even before he shot from Tennessee.
