Best Coach

The so-called players’ coach is a favorite among NFL locker rooms, and in two seasons, the Titans’ Mike Vrabel has embodied that coaching style to a T. Vrabel has been Tennessee’s best head coach since the heyday of Jeff Fisher, and the camaraderie he’s built among the players since taking the main job has helped cement a healthy culture that could be built on for years to come. Last season’s playoff run was special for the city, and taking down giants New England and longtime rivals Baltimore on the road was no small feat. Landing a free agent like defensive end Jadeveon Clowney wasn’t either. Vrabel deserves the lion’s share of the credit. CORY WOODROOF
