Mike Vrabel Patriots new head coach

[dtgold88]

Seems to make sense.....but with options would think he can find a better opportunity. Unless he loves Drake Maye?

Mike Vrabel or Ben Johnson my guess. No way Ben Johnson doesn't go for a HC job this year.

Any rumblings about who is all getting pink slips in Vegas?

Pretty sure AP is gone. Maybe the DC Patrick Graham as well.....

The new HC coming in is probably going to want to clean house.....not sure if he will keep Norv and Scott Turner.

I've heard rumors that some teams are thinking about hiring Jon Gruden again lol

I heard something interesting on the NFL Network this morning.

It was in Mayo's contract that he replaced BB when he left.
Apparently they thought BB was gonna be around an extra year to give Mayo more time to learn the HC gig.

Also didnt know that the Titans would be stupid & fire Vrabel.
So this makes sense why they didnt hire Vrabel last year & did go with Mayo.

However this year when Vrabel started taking calls for HC gigs, the Pats promptly made their HC position available.
I completely think that Vrabel will become the Pats next HC if any of this is true. Hell maybe they told Vrabel last year. Just chill for a year & we will bring you in next year, if Mayo doesnt go all lights out.

Irony to me is I dont think Mayo gets fired this year if Vrabel wasnt available.

Some interesting thoughts though after watching GMFB this morning.

Still have to go through all the interview processes, minority candidates, etc.

can you imagine if NFL went full DEI? female coaches, trans, and gays. might have to bring them up from Pop Warner.

full DEI = full retard.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Female officials and the odd gay player already. No big deal to me.

Not too long ago. It would’ve been black officials that would get under your skin.

FOX’s Jordan Schultz reports former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel will interview for the Patriots’ head coaching vacancy on Thursday.
The cynical way to look at this is that the Patriots have fulfilled their obligation to the Rooney Rule by interviewing Byron Leftwich and Pep Hamilton today and are now moving on to their main target. Guess we’ll see just how cynical things are. Vrabel has been rumored to be the main target of the Patriots for weeks ahead of Jerod Mayo’s firing and has already been linked to interviews for the Jets, Bears, Raiders, and Saints jobs. This is, of course, an obvious fit of former team and a highly-respected head coach who seems to be the top choice for many teams this hiring cycle.

still no clue as to why Vrabel didn't get the NE job last year.

Maybe he's playing Kraft this time.

It was in mayo's contract that he was to succeed BB when he left.

then Mike should look for a team Kraft doesn't own.

Thread title. Vrabel was not yet named HC

So are you going to take the facepalm emoji away when it becomes official?

absolutely not. The point stands. You started a stupid thread stating he was the new head coach Not that you predict he will be. He wasn’t yet named. everyone expected it to be a strong possibility, but That’s not the point. It’s like the morons here that post things like “Lamar tears ACL” and then it’s Lamar Smith or something. It’s just dumb

Patriots hired Mike Vrabel as head coach.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero was first to report the hiring, although it’s worth noting FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz reported on Saturday night that “barring something unforeseen,” the Patriots were expected to hire Vrabel. It’s now nearly official, as the former Titans head coach will soon put pen to paper to become the second head coach of the Patriots in the post Bill Belichick era. The Patriots blew through their interview process, and wasted little time to reach the decision to hire the coach who spent eight years as a player with the team from 2001-2008. Vrabel boasts a 54-45 record as a head coach during his six years with the Titans, and is now set to takeover for a team that appears to already have its franchise quarterback intact with Drake Maye. Couple this with nearly $130 million in cap space to play with, and there’s a suddenly a strong case to be made for the Patriots as a bounce back team next season.
