4merper4mer Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 4 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: who's trading for a coach on the hot seat? Well the “hot seat” is defined by one person…..the team owner…..so if said team owner can convince other owners that either: 1. He is willing to keep Vrabel or 2. More than one team is interested…..creating a supply/demand issue then they might be able to get a little something. I’d imagine your reply to the above might be some sort of caustic dressing down/implication I just don’t understand. Spare me with that if you would and explain what it costs Tennessee do give it a try. All I can see as a possible cost would be a slight delay to their own search for a coach.

HappyDays Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 14 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: ""I love A.J. personally, but I am very comfortable with how this went down and how Jon and I were able to navigate," Titans coach Mike Vrabel said. "I try to support him and make decisions. Unfortunately, we understand if we are going to be here a while, we are not going to be able to keep every single player that we draft and develop." Yeah he toed the company line. But they showed him in the draft room when the trade went down and he clearly was not happy. You know better than this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The Meathead, Vrabel, is a good head coach. I know it's not fashionable nowadays to hire a new coach with a defensive background, but he's solid. I hope New England hires someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilthyBeast Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 25 minutes ago, Beast said: WTF is so interesting about that? Vrabel has two losing seasons in a row under his belt. Are you going to make a similar dense post when Belichick gets canned or they part “mutually”? The point was at least he had similar 'accomplishments' to mcD, but like I said...I get it, sometimes change just makes sense and Titans have been bad the last 2 years where the Bills have not obviously. Also regarding Hoodie.....I'm already of the believe that it's time for both sides to move on. Because unless the Pats make a trade or sign a proven veteran QB I don't see them being able to improve much next year. And at least for Belichik, time is of the essence given his age so if he's going to continue coaching it makes sense that it's somewhere else with a roster that's more ready to compete for a championship out of the gate (i.e. Chargers). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back2Buff Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Man, a Vrabel/Arthur Smith duo is a dangerous one that I hope does not end up in NE. Vrabel is a really good coach. He dealt with a lot of BS in Tenn within the front office and has done wonders with pretty much not having a GM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeskillitMoorman Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 You just have to swing at and invest in a top talent at QB.

It was hardly shocking. equally obvious other owners understood this was likely so none made a trade inquiry or obviously the Titans owner would have taken something over nothing. no need to dress down--just pointing out the obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 1 hour ago, Patrick Duffy said: Not that you guys are wrong regarding your post to this subject, however, I'd point out that A.Pierce made a fairly strong case for himself and I could easily see him getting the chance with full offseason etc to get the job with the quick turn around that team did from a messy situation. Harbaugh has the better resume. McDaniels never proved himself as a head coach at any level for those that are comparing the same situation to him and Biscotti. Pierce could very well be their last resort if they can't catch the big fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRH Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Serious question: is Brian Daboll the only member of the Belichick coaching tree still running an NFL team? Absolutely putrid legacy if true.
