 Titan's head coach Mike Vrable is here at the NFL owners meetings. Coach, not your first rodeo here at the owners meetings. What's different about it now as a veteran coach? Well, being able to add the role of, you know, competition committee has been really exciting. I've really enjoyed, you know, trying to help throughout that process. You know, I think you just understand how the meetings go a little bit and so the experience has been great. You know, it's been great to hear from other organizations and these are important meetings. Now the competition committee is something that has been talked about all offseason mainly because of overtime rules. Something was passed today ensuring that both teams will have the option during the postseason to have a possession of the ball during overtime. What were those conversations like and why was ultimately it decided that that was so important? You know, I think the numbers have just gotten too strong for the the winner of the coin toss or let me just rephrase that who takes possession first. You know, in the postseason, you know, those numbers are pretty glaring. And I think that the commitment that we make to offensive players quarterback specifically, you know, is something that I think that our fans want to see those players help determine the outcome, which most of those times the best quarterbacks are in the playoff. So I think that's something that's important to start with and make sure that we give each quarterback and give each offense an opportunity to possess the football and, you know, we'll go from there. Every system there is going to be, you know, questions with. But I think this is a good start. Having an offseason under your belt now of being on the competition committee. Has that experience for you changed the way that you perceive either the way that the rules are established or the way that you maybe teach the game to your team now? Well, I think it helps to understand the clarifications and officiating, you know, and try to help with that process. Very intrigued by the player safety and welfare. You know, you've heard us talk numerous times about it's nothing more important than the health of our team and, you know, using the data, you know, to try to help the way that we schedule practice or ramp up and what we may do with our headgear and the data with the guardian cap and how that could help, you know, reduce helmet contacts amongst offensive and defensive linemen at the line of scrimmage. So, you know, there are some things that we've focused on and talked about hopefully I can use to help our team. As we've been going through free agency, whether it's guys who have been affiliated with this team for a while like a Ben Jones, Harold Landry, or some of the new guys like Austin Hooper, Robert Woods, all have talked about how they're excited to play for you and there is such a strong reputation of this team throughout the National Football League. And a lot of that comes back to the style of coaching and the way that you interact with men. Has that been what you've been trying to establish all along? Is that credibility within not only the Tennessee Titans locker room, but within the National Football League? Well, you know, it's nice to be respected throughout the League as an organization, which I think we are. Obviously that starts with Amy, John, his staff, our coaching staff. I think that in order to do this job, you have to make a connection. You have to be able to lead. You have to be able to make tough decisions. You have to be able to hold people accountable. But if you do it and you're honest and you're direct with them, I think that they respect that. But making a connection is critical. And that will allow you to do all those things that sometimes aren't always easy. We've made it through the first wave of free agency, we'll say. How pleased are you with what the Titans have been able to accomplish and then what are you looking forward to as we continue through the offseason? Yeah, we feel like we've added pieces that will allow us to go into this draft and evaluate the best player. I think we've added different spots along the offensive line. Obviously tight end, wide receiver, some running backs backwards, some guys back on defense and special teams, added some new faces on special teams. So excited where we are, excited what those guys can bring to our football team and try to acclimate themselves to our culture and continue to strengthen it. You mentioned that the culture is not just the coaching staff. It's everybody who's associated with putting this team together. How much of that though is a reflection of Amy Adams-Strunk and her vision for this organization as a whole? It's perfect alignment. You know, she grew up in this game and it was family. It's family owned with her and her family. And so that's what we want to recreate. We want to recreate that sense with our coaches and our players. And again, that's not always perfect. And then there's disagreements and there's arguments. We know that amongst players and coaches and coaches and coaches. But there is a sense of family that we really value here. And not only is that within the coaches, but also within the players in the locker room. And we see trying to keep those players together throughout free agency and then adding to players who really fit that locker room kind of chemistry. Yeah, they're going to have disagreements in there. You hear the argument and you've heard those guys argue on sidelines like brothers. And that's really that what we want to try to create is just an atmosphere that no job is too small and everybody's willing to do whatever it takes for the team. Mike Vrabel, the offseason program starts in a couple weeks. How excited are you to be able to start working with this team again, really getting your hands on these players and start forming the 2022 Tennessee title? Coaching is no fun without players. And it was fun to be at pro days. It was fun to watch some some practice and some colleges practice prior to those pro days and hopeful that we'll have those that choose to show up voluntarily. And April 18th, we'll coach whoever comes and start that process and improving it. Coaching is a lot better when players are around. Mike Vrabel, thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us. Appreciate it.
