Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel spoke to the media at the 2020 NFL Combine on Tuesday and covered multiple hot topics.
One of the biggest question marks is how the Titans are going to run their defense, as the team does not plan on naming a defensive coordinator this season.
Vrabel spoke about that, as well as impending free agent quarterback Ryan Tannehill. And, to no one’s surprise, there was a question about quarterback Tom Brady in there.
Here’s what he had to say on those things and more.
On the defensive play-calling
“Well, right now working through the process of who’s going to be, you know, running the defensive side of us,” Vrabel said, per Terry McCormick of Titan Insider.”Really excited about this staff, but I’m working through that process of doing what’s what’s best for the players and the Titans, but excited about the group of guys we have and how we expect to play defense for the Titans.”
“My job is to always do what’s best for the team. My role as the head coach is to be around and be in meetings,” Vrabel continued. “I think that’s one of my strengths, that I feel like I can go in and be involved in the offense, and the defense, and the special teams. That will continue, whatever path that we go down.”

Vrabel was also asked about the potential of veteran inside linebackers coach Jim Haslett calling plays, to which he responded “we’re still working through that.”
