The Tennessee Titans shocked the NFL world Tuesday when they announced the firing of coach Mike Vrabel and, in an instant, made him the hottest commodity on the coaching market. It didn’t take long for fans across the country to call for Vrabel to save their franchises—even in the college football world.
Former Ohio State great Maurice Clarett took to X, formerly Twitter, and hinted that his alma mater should fire Ryan Day next year and hire Vrabel to take his place.

Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant took a moment to clear up his previous comments about Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green after the team’s 138–111 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.
A day after the NBA issued Green an indefinite suspension for striking Suns center Jusuf Nurkic in the face on Dec. 12, Durant said Green’s behavior was “insane to see” and that he hoped the Warriors’ star received the “help he needs” to “get back on the court.
The maize and blue confetti fell at NRG Stadium on Monday night in celebration of the Michigan Wolverines’ 34–13 victory over the Washington Huskies to secure the program’s first national championship since 1997.
And now, you can own a piece of history.

The Buffalo Bills edged out a 21–14 win over the Miami Dolphins to secure the AFC East title and No. 2 playoff seed on Sunday night thanks to quarterback Josh Allen’s ferocious drive in the fourth quarter.
In a nearly five-minute drive, Allen pushed the Bills down the field resulting in a Dawson Knox touchdown to eventually give them the win.
So what sparked this drive? A video by NFL Films caught wide receiver Stefon Diggs giving Allen a quick, but impactful, pep talk before the Bills took the field.
If Denver Broncos fans would’ve been shown quarterback Russell Wilson’s 2023 statistical line before this season—26 touchdowns against eight interceptions—they probably would’ve been elated to see the team’s 2022 gamble finally pay off.
Things, however, did not unfold quite so smoothly. Wilson improved, yes, but not enough to steer the Broncos to their first winning season since 2016. Coach Sean Payton benched the quarterback for the last two games of the season over concerns with his contract, and a bitter divorce seemed imminent.
With the college football season now in the books, one of the premier programs in the country announced on Tuesday that it will be holding tryouts for walk-on considerations.
Less than 24 hours after arch-rival Michigan won the 2023 national championship, the Ohio State Buckeyes posted on X that the team would be hosting a meeting for those interested in joining the team for the 2024 season on Feb. 1 at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

The Tennessee Titans shocked the NFL world by firing head coach Mike Vrabel on Tuesday after six seasons. Vrabel is regarded as a good coach in the NFL, having taken the Titans to an AFC championship game during the 2019 season, and insiders don’t believe he will be unemployed for long.
The Titans could’ve potentially traded Vrabel to another team, since Vrabel’s contract did not expire after the season, but the team decided against it.
The 2023 college football title has been decided, but Mark Schlabach already has a top 25 for next season.
The Detroit Lions will host a playoff game for the first time since 1994 when they face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, and there’s one throwback jersey that some fans are hoping not to see in the stands.
One Detroit fan social media account, @TheDetroitLine, urged fans in a pair of posts on Monday not to wear Matthew Stafford jerseys to Sunday’s game. The Instagram post has more than 4,000 likes as of this writing, while the same post on X has a mere 12 likes, so this is hardly a widespread effort.
There are two in a pack.
On Monday night, the college football world witnessed a major event that promises to have implications for the 2024 season.
No, we’re not talking about the College Football Playoff national championship game, which saw Michigan defeat Washington 34—13.
The Pop-Tarts Bowl, which went viral this year for its edible live mascot who stole the show, announced its intention to return next season.
