Mike Vrabel: Titans’ Anthony Midget is ‘different’ from Kerry Coombs

Midget already has a connection to Vrabel, having spent four seasons with him on the Houston Texans coaching staff.

The Tennessee Titans will have undergone several significant changes by the start of the 2020 NFL season.

One of those includes a new secondary coach in Anthony Midget, who filled the void left by Kerry Coombs.

Coombs, who was especially known for his high energy level, left for Ohio State shortly after the end of the Titans’ run to the AFC Championship.

And it’s because of that time sharing a sideline that Vrabel knows just how much of a stark contrast there is between Midget and Coombs.

“Midge is composed. He is different than Kerry,” Vrabel told reporters at the NFL Combine, per David Boclair of Sports Illustrated. “And I think that will be really good. He’s got a lot of knowledge, a lot of range in our defense having coached with Anthony in Houston. I’m excited that he’s going to be able to bring a lot of knowledge to the secondary.”

It will certainly be interesting to see what the Titans’ defense looks like this season, with Midget new on staff and the team’s decision to not name a defensive coordinator after the retirement of Dean Pees.
