Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel was never short of confidence as a player. However, coaching has become a different challenge altogether for him.

Vrabel has been praised for his charismatic approach to his first stint as a head coach. According to Paul Kuharsky of paulkuharsky.com, he is still unsure if he will ever feel confident as a coach:

“I don’t know as a coach if I’ll ever be truly confident,” Vrabel said. “I have confidence in all our players on our roster right now, but I don’t know if that’s something you would always say as a head coach, that you’re just going to be confident that we’re going to roll out and win a game.”

Vrabel's comments may come as a bit of a concern to some. However, it is likely indicative of how he learned to do things with the New England Patriots.

Head coach Bill Belichick is widely considered the greatest coach in NFL history. Yet, confidence is hardly ever the first adjective that is used to describe him. As talented as his roster have been over the years, it appears even Belichick is well-aware that there are no guarantees in football. It seems Vrabel may be taking a similar approach in his next phase as a head coach.

There are countless scenarios that a coach must consider on a weekly basis. To say that they have a fool-proof plan for every one of them would be a bit of a stretch. That said, Vrabel will need to do what he can to ensure the Titans have the best chance of taking that next step in the playoffs.
