NFL Week 7, 2019: 5 Coaches on the hot seat

1. Mike Vrabel

Time will tell when it comes to seeing whether Ryan Tannehill has what it takes to spark the offense of the Tennessee Titans to help take some of the pressure off Mike Vrabel, but if the last few weeks are any indication, it’s not looking good.

First off, it’s unfair for the Titans to put most of the blame on Marcus Mariota when it’s clear the offensive line along with new offensive coordinators each year has made things difficult for the former first-round pick in 2019.

Even if the argument can be made that Tannehill’s time with the Miami Dolphins makes him seem like the better option at the moment in Tennessee, last weekend was the perfect example of how much the offensive line is an issue.

While Mariota was sacked three times against the Denver Broncos before he was benched, it should also be noted that Tannehill found himself sacked four times as well to show how poor the protection has been.

In other words, it seems unlikely that a quarterback change is going to solve some of the issues Tennessee has been dealing with on offense, and assuming the struggles continue against the Los Angeles Chargers, Vrabel will continue to be under the microscope.
