Former Titans OL Taylor Lewan was stunned to learn of Mike Vrabel's firing during a live call
What a time to find out.
The Tennessee Titans made a surprising move on Tuesday, opting to fire head coach Mike Vrabel after six seasons and two straight without playoff appearances. But for former Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan, the firing was a complete shock.
In fact, we saw Lewan learn the news just as it happened.
Lewan — a former star at Michigan — was supposed to join the Rich Eisen Show on Tuesday to discuss the Wolverines’ win in Monday’s CFP national title game. Instead, the breaking news shifted the conversation to Vrabel. It was safe to say that Lewan did not agree with the decision.

Lewan said:
“That is nuts. I knew there was clamoring going on in the inside … You could point a lot of fingers, but I didn’t think the finger you could truly point at was Vrabel. He’s a guy that — damn, Rich. I can’t believe this is happening right now while we’re talking. Oh my God.”
What a time to find out.
