Former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel is interviewing with an AFC club for their head coaching position today.

The Chargers are in need of a new head coach after firing Brandon Staley following a disappointing 5-9 start. The team went 0-3 under interim HC Giff Smith.

In a move that surprised many, Vrabel was fired by the Titans following a 6-11 finish. Many thought that if Tennessee wanted a coaching change, they’d at least “trade” Vrabel and receive valuable compensation in return.

Instead, owner Amy Adams Strunk decided to outright fire Vrabel and have GM Ran Carthon conduct a new coaching search.
