Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel is receiving his first bit of recognition for the phenomenal job he did during the regular season. - The 101 Awards, which are voted on by 101 members of the national media, released its annual list of players and coaches to win honors, and Vrabel was named the AFC Coach of the Year. - Here’s what they had to say about the Titans head coach: - Earning AFC Coach of the Year for the first time, Tennessee’s Mike Vrabel led the Titans to a 12–5 record, tied for the AFC’s best regular season won–loss mark of 2021. When star running back Derrick Henry, arguably the Titans’ best player, was lost for the regular season in Week 8 due to injury, Vrabel was adamant that the team would not make any excuses. His team responded, posting a 6–3 record the rest of the way en route to locking up the AFC’s first overall seed. Henry was one of many injuries the team experienced throughout the season and the Titans utilized more players with game action than any team in NFL history. Vrabel handled adversity with prowess and class, leading the Titans to their second consecutive AFC South title. - Vrabel is also expected to win the official Coach of the Year award, which is voted on by the Associated Press and will be handed out at the NFL Honors show on Feb. 10, the Thursday before Super Bowl LVI. - Others players and coaches receiving recognition from the 101 Awards are as follows: - AFC Offensive Player of the Year: RB Jonathan Taylor - NFC Offensive Player of the Year: WR Cooper Kupp - AFC Defensive Player of the Year: OLB T.J.
