It represents Vrabel’s second Coach of the Year honor for 2021, after the Pro Football Writers of America awarded Vrabel with the same honor. It’s well-deserved after Vrabel guided the Titans to a 12-5 record and the No. 1 seed in the AFC despite being forced to use an NFL-record 91 players due to various injuries.
Vrabel claimed the honor after capturing 36 first-place votes. Truthfully, it was a landslide.
