Look at the tenacity of Pees’ spike!
It’s small things like the players celebrating around their defensive coordinator and having fun that can build chemistry for a team. Every bit helps.
After announcing his retirement following six years with the Baltimore Ravens (two as linebacker’s coach, four as defensive coordinator), Pees returned to the NFL rather quickly to work with head coach Mike Vrabel, who was hired by the Titans in 2018.
Pees’ NFL experience is well-known. He has spent over 45 years as a coach in both college and the NFL and has two Super Bowl rings to his credit, one with the New England Patriots and the other with the aforementioned Ravens.
And clearly he could teach some of these NFL returners a thing or two about hauling in punts.
Pees was a linebacker’s coach with the Pats from 2004-05 and the defensive coordinator from 2006-09. Vrabel was one of Pees’ players during his tenure in New England.
The Titans’ defense saw some success under Pees in his debut season with the team. Tennessee’s offense ranked No. 6 against the pass, No. 8 in total yards allowed per game and No. 3 in points allowed per contest.
