Former Titans Coach Named Top Candidate for Jets
Former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel remains a hot name, and he may have another head-coaching job as soon as next season.
Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated recently named a bunch of potential candidates for the New York Jets job in 2025, and Vrabel was at the top of his list.
“Mike Vrabel makes the most sense to me, mostly because he won’t stand down to an owner, and that’s exactly what the New York Jets need,” Breer wrote.
The problem with that is Jets owner Woody Johnson is known to be a meddler, so he a Vrabel-Johnson partnership may never actually come to fruition.
Still, Vrabel could end up being a perfect fit for the Jets from a stylistic perspective given that New York is built upon a strong defense.
It’s not the first time that Vrabel has been linked to Gang Green, either.
Vrabel actually did a very solid job during his time with the Titans, going 54-45 while making three playoff appearances—including a pair of AFC South titles—across five seasons.
Things went south over Vrabel’s final two years in Tennessee, with the Titans going just 13-21 during that span. However, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the problem was not with Vrabel.
Vrabel is currently serving as an assistant for the Cleveland Browns, but it seems like only a matter of time before he lands a better job elsewhere.
The 49-year-old also had a 14-year NFL playing career from 1997 through 2010, spending time with the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs. He won three Super Bowls with the Patriots and also made a Pro Bowl with the squad in 2007.
The Jets have been one of the league’s most disappointing teams this season, as they are just 3-8 in spite of having one of the most star-studded rosters in the sport.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WZTV) — IKEA has announced that it will close its Memphis store on May 3, 2026, as part of a broader effort to optimize its U.S. operations and support future growth.
The Memphis location is currently the only full IKEA store in Tennessee.
The state will still have two IKEA pick-up locations, in Nashville and Knoxville, but these are not traditional storefronts and only serve designated, often third-party, sites where customers can pick-up online orders.
The company said the decision followed a comprehensive review of market share, business performance, cost structure, and other factors.
Customers in the Memphis area will continue to shop IKEA products online at IKEA.com/us, with delivery options and FedEx pick-up points available in the Cordova area.
IKEA said it aims to retain as many employees as possible by offering transfers to other locations. Those who do not transition to a new role will receive severance.
The company is investing $2.2 billion in the U.S. to expand its presence, including opening 14 new-format stores in 2025 and planning additional locations in 2026.
IKEA said future efforts will focus on home delivery, pickup services, digital capabilities, and modernizing physical stores.
Tennessee (16-7, 6-4 SEC) will play at Mississippi State (11-12, 3-7 SEC) on Wednesday in Southeastern Conference basketball play.
Tipoff between the Vols and Bulldogs is slated for 9 p.m. EST at Humphrey Coliseum in Starkville, Mississippi. ESPN2 will televise the matchup with Roy Philpott (play-by-play) and Richard Hendrix (analyst) on the call.
Tennessee leads the all-time basketball series, 91-46, against the Bulldogs. Rick Barnes is 12-4 versus Mississippi State as the Vols’ head coach.
Beginning with the 2024-25 athletics calendar, the SEC made it mandatory for schools to provide public reports on availability of student-athletes to participate in each conference game in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball and baseball.
A Tennessee-Mississippi State initial availability report is listed below for Wednesday’s basketball game in SEC play.
Tennessee-Mississippi State basketball game injury report
Tennessee junior forward Cade Phillips is out. He will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 basketball season due to a recurring shoulder injury.
“We will sincerely miss having Cade on the court and he is certainly disappointed that he won’t be able to play the rest of the regular season, but it’s essential he gets healthy,” Barnes said on Dec. 8, 2025. “Cade did all he could to play through this injury as long as possible.”
Freshman guard Clarence Massamba is also listed as out for the Vols against Mississippi State.
All Mississippi State players are listed as available.
