If Glenn leaves, Campbell should immediately be on the phone with Vrabel about the DC position. Former player, perfect culture fit, and a fantastic coach. Look at those recent Tennessee rosters, what did they expect him to do? He’s a football coach not a magician.

I'd look for New England to hire Vrabel.

I’m kind of surprised the Titans didn’t try to trade him before firing him.

[Motown Bombers]

Ironically I see Glenn as a Vrabel type. Would be wild if the Titans hired him. I'm not sure I would want Vrabel as coordinator. He would likely be one and done and only there to become head coach. I like the idea of the Lions developing coaches. Let Kelvin Shephard take over as defensive coordinator.

“Vrabel led Tennessee to four consecutive winning seasons until his blowhard GM Jon Robinson traded star wide receiver AJ Brown, leaving the offense one dimensional.”

It always amazes me how quickly things can change in the NFL for coaches. Its such a "what have you done for me lately" league. A few years ago Vrabel was basically viewed like Campbell is now, he was the guy that teams were looking or hoping they could find in their next head coach. 

Then he has a couple down years with subpar talent and suddenly he gets fired.  It's like the guy didn't just forget how to coach or lead a team in 2 to 3 years. I just hope if the Lions ever get in a similar situation they don't do the same to Campbell.

I think it shows incompetence at the level of the Titans management. I’m not sure whether I read it here or somewhere else, but someone said “if you fire your coach and everyone immediately wants them to become their coach, you probably shouldn’t have fired your coach.”

I have a hard time seeing whoever the Titans hire accomplishing more than Vrabel did. They’re incredibly devoid of talent.

i agree the titans are devoid of talent.

i also think nfl teams can get talented in a hurry.  ask houston.

tennessee's problem is that they have tied themselves to will levis.

It was like a year ago where the Texans looked like they were Carolina level bad and incompetent. Maybe they knew what they were doing all along.

Bears fired Luke Getsy. 

[RandyMarsh]

You can definitely turn things around fast if you land the right coach and nail a draft or 2. Particularly if one of the players you nail in the draft is a qb like Houston did.

[RandyMarsh]

According to Shefter the Bears are not making a HC change and are sticking with Eberflus.

[Motown Bombers]

I don't know if this means they are keeping Fields or not. They may want a different coordinator for Williams or they may think they saw enough from Fields that they want a better OC.

every now and then i think the bears will do something smart and then they continue to remind me that they are still owned by the mccaskeys.

the bears not getting harbaugh is a wonderful thing.  

[Motown Bombers]

The Bears seem like the perfect fit for Harbaugh, even more so than the Chargers. Harbaugh would have his choice of building around Fields with a lot of great assets, or getting the top QB in the draft without having to give up assets. This seems like a situation with the Chargers where they held on to Staley a year too long.

Good for Mike.  He deserves to see his name up for opportunities.  

Bad for Mike that it’s in Carolina working for a guy that is rocketing himself up the list of worst owners sports.  

[Motown Bombers]

I know you will hear the refrain that there are only 32 jobs available, but if you go to a team with a bad owner with a quick trigger, it could be the last job you get. 

[CMRivdogs]

Multiple reports indicate that Eberfus is staying with the Bears. However he'll be looking for a new OC and DC.

Knees Down Chicago Bears

Didn't see this one coming.

He should say no and tell them to find someone else to meet their Rooney rule requirements.
