And yet, he's got them on top of their division at 10-5 and has never had a losing season. Any Steelers fan who's saying that is out of their mind.
My point is that fans need to think beyond "Offensive head coach" and "Defensive head coach." Because most of the young guys getting hired in recent years aren't true head coaches. They're still glorified coordinators who contract out the other side of the ball, and they don't know how to manage a game or how to manage a roster. They just call plays and then stare into oblivion when the possession changes.
The HC's who win consistently may or may not call plays, but first and foremost, they know how to align a roster, lead a team, and manage a game. And they are a dying breed. Vrabel fits the bill. Ask Tennessee fans if they'd like to have him back.
