After the Tennessee Titans got embarrassed on national television in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills, there was a thought that perhaps the team would make some changes, particularly to the coaching staff.
During his day-after presser on Tuesday, head coach Mike Vrabel laid blame at the feet of the entire coaching staff for the team’s early woes, himself included, but he plans on staying the course.
“If I felt like there was anybody that wasn’t doing their job… we’re just not going to [fire coaches], that’s not something that’s going to happen right now,” Vrabel said, per ESPN’s Turron Davenport.
“I have confidence in our staff, I have confidence in the guys that we put out there. We have to continue to coach and execute better,” Vrabel added. “I appreciate everybody’s opinion. I have to make sure that everybody here, the players, the coaches, are all aligned and I know that they are and that’s how you get things fixed and win a game.”
Of course, offensive coordinator Todd Downing is public enemy No. 1 right now in the minds of Titans fans and media — and rightly so after how bad this offense has looked and the poor decisions Downing has made over the first two games.
But as of right now, the Titans won’t make the switch to passing-game coordinator Tim Kelly like we all want, which means we’re stuck with Downing.
That doesn’t give us much confidence that things will get better.
