The chance to get a top tier HC has come and gone

I’d say Vrabel was the other top tier.

Look, the job is one of only thirty two in the world, for that reason it’s still a good one imo. Now, having said that it is at the bottom of those thirty two, and folks denying that just can’t take those black and gold glasses off. Nothing wrong with that imo. Fan how ya want.

Vrabel is another guy that simply cut everyone off once he got an offer from the team he primarily played for. That is virtually always going to happen.

That is fate, destiny, all lining up and the culmination of a player turned coach’s dream scenario. Not you necessarily, but not too many people are fully grasping that. You are essentially angering the football gods by turning down an offer in that scenario.

Let me ask you - is Vrabel top tier over McCarthy? If so, why?
