NASHVILLE — What a pathetic week it was for the people who run the Tennessee Titans (1-6). A gutless display by owner Amy Adams Strunk, followed up by a blowout loss at the hands of former coach Mike Vrabel’s New England Patriots (5-2), is the cherry on top of the shit sundae that this organization has become.

It was not unexpected, of course, just more of the “Titans Way.”

The Titans let Mike Vrabel win twice this week

Strunk fired her coach, Brian Callahan, the Monday before Vrabel even came to face his replacement.

The Titans’ controlling owner, seemingly more concerned with optics and a new stadium than she is with getting things right, let Vrabel win the week. Firing Callahan was the right decision. Doing so the week before your ex came to town looks like you’re still letting him impact your decisions.

Cowardice, at best.

Make no mistake, the end of Vrabel’s tenure in Tennessee was marred by plenty of bad football. After the dust has settled and the Titans have won fewer games in 24 games than Vrabel has this season alone, however, it is fair to wonder if the rot of the organization put a good coach in a horrendous position. Vrabel was the one thing holding this mess together.

Now, he’s on the opposing sideline, throttling them 31-13.

“Yeah, we moved on,” Vrabel said on Sunday. “Again, there were a lot of guys over there and a lot of people on the support staff that helped us do some decent things. But you kind of move on, and this is a whole different challenge, and I’m excited of where I’m at. I appreciate the support of our fans to come down here, and be excited, and be into the football game. We got to continue to give them things to cheer about, and to travel and come back and play really well at home. So that’s what I’m proud of. I’m happy for the players to have a little bit of momentum and to continue to build it throughout the week.”

Leaving the field at Nissan Stadium to chants of his name from both home and away fans, Vrabel has moved on from the Titans. Like so many others, he’s clearly better for it.
