Might not be a popular opinion, but I think they'd be having a similar season had Saban stayed. They had been falling off from their peak under Saban each of the last few years and went from a very disciplined team to one that shot themselves in the foot often. Maybe they get more favorable officiating if Saban was still coach, but I doubt they'd be much better had he stayed. All the legendary coaches that keep coaching into their 70s see their team's on-field performance fall off and I think Saban even saw it coming. It's too hard to micro-manage on the level Saban used to when he's in his 70s.

I personally think that Saban simply lacked the energy to do it anymore. It is normal for any human, I questioned that about Nick a few times, to want to rest from their labor and enjoy the fruits of it. The most remarkable thing about Nick Saban to me is his ability to not become complacent and not allow his players to become complacent. As coach it is very difficult to have team retain its edge after they have won a championship and heard how great they are for awhile. It is amazes me that Nick was able to do it for 15 years.
Nick simply saw that he couldn't go as hard as was necessary and didn't want to just fade out.

Mike Mularkey gets Titans good. Fired. Mike Vrabel gets Titans good again. Fired.

Had opportunities to sign Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers. Passed bc Titans liked the young, unproven QBs and Ryan Tannehill better. Manning and Brady go on to win Super Bowls at their next stops.

Just embarassing franchise.

Those two guys signed where they wanted at the time in regard to the players in place and likelihood of winning a championship, if either player would have indicated they were coming, the Titans wouldn't have turned them away.

“I didn’t think about it when I said it. And somebody with nothing to do decided to go back and find a clip from a four-hour broadcast.”

“It had zero to do with Alabama losing the football game. I never once said that it did. That was something that fans choose to do. And they’ve won now twice in the last 18 years. And rather than celebrate, they opted to pick that. It really wasn’t anything meant derogatory towards Tennessee. It was not an excuse. It was a comment about the noise in that moment.”

I love every bit of this.

I agree with Rodgers and Manning. The Titans were poised to make a SB run when Brady was available. They just thought Tannehill could also take them and getting rid of him/his co tract was an issue.

That’s exactly how it was for me LOL

I was like, “I did this like 4/5 months ago” and didn’t think it was legit.


There’s a website where you can go sign up for a ton of settlements and get payment. Haven’t done it in a while, but a good majority of them don’t even require proof hahaha
