The Tennessee Titans might still be missing Mike Vrabel.
He's going to the Super Bowl as the head coach of the New England Patriots only two years after the Titans fired him.
He was dismissed on Jan. 9, 2024. On Jan. 25, 2026, he and the Pats won the AFC Championship Game.
And this stat will make Titans' fans sick:
The Patriots have won as many games since December 21st as the Titans have won since firing Mike Vrabel.

The Patriots went 4-13 a season ago under Jerod Mayo.
But Vrabel has changed the entire culture. He got rid of players that didn't fit his direction.
He's also paired well with Drake Maye, now as his second year in the NFL at quarterback.
All told, it's been a perfect fit for the Patriots.

Meanwhile, the Titans were the worst record in the NFL a year ago, getting Cam Ward to be their new quarterback at the top pick.
This year, they weren't much better, although Ward showed promise late in the year.
Vrabel is surely having the most fun he could be having right now.
