Titans head coach Mike Vrabel was at Ohio State this Wednesday for the school’s pro day.
Vrabel played college football for the Buckeyes from 1993-1996. He was named the Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year twice during that span.
During this Wednesday’s pro day, Vrabel was spotted having a conversation with Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith. A photo of them talking quickly surfaced on Twitter.
Some fans believe Ohio State is another Michigan loss away from offering Vrabel the job.

Even though Ryan Day has led Ohio State to countless wins over the past few years, the fan base in Columbus is starting to grow impatient. If he can’t defeat Michigan and get back to the national title game, the outside noise surrounding his future with the program may only get louder.
As for Vrabel, he was Ohio State’s linebackers coach in 2011 before shifting over to defensive line coach in 2012.
In 2018, Vrabel became the head coach of the Titans. They’ve made the playoffs three times with him at the helm.
