Vrabel is already getting fitted for a Patriots cap. I’m not sure that Loomis will have many options in the weeks to come. Thus I fully expect to see Rizzi back on the job real soon.

There are plenty of options better than Rizzi. We will have a chance to hire a good coach if we want to.

What makes him not qualified to coach? I'm sure he knows more about the game than anyone posting on these fan forums.

He didn't come up through the ranks. He was never a coordinator. He had a few seasons as an inside linebacker coach and then Kraft decided he was the guy.

He was clearly out of his depth even with basic game management stuff. He didn't handle the press well. He threw his own players under the bus.

He was a bad coach. How much he knows about the game is irrelevant. Plenty of former players have busted as coaches.
 
Underhill said earlier that the Saints are gonna move slowly to hire the next coach. He expects at least 12 people including college coaches they wanna talk to. When someone said "College coaches?" He said there was a couple of guys they wanted to talk to. Expects the search to be long and cast a wide net.

I’m guessing that Vrabel wanted a year away from the game. So they did Mayo wrong by using him to keep the seat warm for Vrabel. :hm:

They didn't do Mayo wrong. He was totally unqualified for that gig and Kraft gave it to him because Mayo brown nosed him like crazy on an over seas trip. This is well documented.

Credit to Kraft for pulling the plug on his obvious mistake. But it was a dumb and unnecessary mistake to begin with.

Anyone else that Vrabel interviews with will only be to gain some leverage. He ain’t fooling anybody.

Agreed Bill.

Still bewildered by the Titans letting him go a couple years back. He’s a good coach and was doing well, better than they’d been in quite some time. Was a late pick away from having them in the AFCCG couple years ago. He’s been a good one and I think he will continue to improve into a great one.

And there were plenty of former coordinators that became head coaches that was given more than one year to develop and improve a team. Dennis Allen was a terrible head coach with the Raiders that didn’t stop the Saints from making him the head coach and giving him more than a year to develop the program. This whole “he’s not qualified” is being thrown around and only reserve for certain people because I’m sure that poster wouldn’t call Dennis Allen “unqualified” as a head coach.
