N/S Patriots Name Mike Vrabel HC (1 Viewer)

[Saint Greg]

One defensive coach down. Now Carroll to the Bears and Glenn to the Jets.

I felt like that was the job Ben Johnson wanted all along. Wonder what he does now, if anything.

I think it has to be. I’m not buying the Bears interest. That’s a tough division.

I know it’s a long shot, but my money is on da Raidahs. Brady seems to be the de facto GM with that team right now and running the show and it appears that he wants Ben for HC.

Maybe but I think the Raiders and Bears are going to be the two most difficult places to win. Those divisions are already very tough and the Raiders have an especially poor organizational track record the last few decades. I get the allure of a young hyped QB (or being in a position to draft one) but that’s still a dice roll with both teams.

If Johnson takes either job, I think there’s a very real possibility he’s back on the market within three years.

Wait, they paid him 17 million a year!!!???

Coaches salaries have exploded in recent years

They just made him the 3rd highest paid coach behind Reid and Sean

I can see why Aaron Glenn turned down the Patriots interview, he knew the job was Vrabel’s.

I wonder if Vrabel has a crap first year will he get fired?

It will be interesting to see if he brings Josh McDaniels back as OC.

I wish they would stop trying to make Josh McDaniels happen; but I guess as long as it's not us, I can't really complain.

 

[Madmarsha]

WHY HAVEN'T THE SAINTS DONE ANYTHING?!?!?!!?!?!!!?!?!?!

Just kidding, we knew this was coming.

There's only one thing right now I want to hear the Saints have done ... and I know it's not happening, so.

I'd send his butt packing, outside of Brady he has been pure suck.

I bet he gets a longer leash with his experience, contract, and the fact that he was their handpicked choice out of everyone.

He didn't want to be a fly-by Rooney Rule interview!

I’d be willing to bet they win 7-8 games minimum next year. Vrabel is a very good coach.

I don't really understand why Brady being there makes that more appealing. But that seems to be the narrative.

I would like to see Drew Brees become #8 someday.
