He was 7-10 and 6-11 in back to back years.   He lost 7 straight games to end the year in 2022.   He also was part of the brain trust that drafted two busts at QB.   Vrabel is a good coach but stepping into a great situation at QB in New England has started a weird sort of mythology about him. 

His QB's those two years were a end of the line Tannehill, Will Levis, and Dobbs.

 

He's 58-47 with a bunch of 3rd rate QB's. He's never been part of a 1st round pick at QB. I would say he's done a pretty good job.

That doesn't hurt as much as people think. If anything the pain comes from what clappy will do with it more than what is lost. Good system, poor game planning.

This is unusual given you are going with a rookie QB.

"With Brian Callahan's firing, the last four quarterbacks selected No. 1 overall and six of the last eight have had seen their head coaches fired during their rookie seasons."

They drafted Malik Willis while he was there too.    He had plenty of chances to draft and develop a young QB during his time there.   Part of being a head coach is helping to evaluate which QB to draft, and then when given that player to help him develop.   Part of that is on Vrabel.  Had Allen not developed McDermott wouldnt have a job either.

Not a job I would want if I were Brady.

That would make sense in the offseason….not now.

It makes sense if you’ve watched how terrible that offense is.  He’s an offensive HC and they are miserable in that department.  I have no problem with them getting rid of him.  Dude had Burrow, Chase, Higgins and Mixon.  That’s why he got a HC job imo

I see their commitment to losing games will stay intact. 

[CNYfan]

I don't think Cam Ward is that good.

If I squint, I can see a Geno Smith type career.

Just beat the Pats please

He’s an off coach who needs off talent that he does not have.

As of today the top 3 places I have him going to are:

 

Atlanta

Cincy

Arizona

 

Baltimore is my dark horse candidate

Jesus, I watch a lot of NFL games and I don’t remember this guy at all.

He's honestly one of the worst game/clock management coaches I have ever seen. He cost the Chargers a lot of games with his mismanagement. He's also interviewed here IIRC for the OC position in McDermott's early days

Chances of that are close to nil.

It's really not though, Reich was fired during Bryce's rookie year, Eberflus was fired during Caleb's rookie year, Meyer with Lawrence, Fischer with Goff, and Hue with Baker  and now this. 

 

It's becoming more common with expected results out of the gate with high QB picks.

Why in the world did they give him such a big contract in the first place. Guy had Burrow, Higgins and Chase.

On the surface, Brady reunited with Burrow and Chase would be a good combo. Until Brady yells EVERYBODY EATS and Chase and Higgins are rotating and seeing a 40% snap share each lol

His .174 winning percentage wouldn't even get him into Buffalo's Bottom Four, sad to say.

If you don't count Anthony Lynn's 0-1 record he's third from the bottom

[Ethan in Cleveland]

If position coaches could make the HOF, his dad would make it for O-line coach. Other than that he had no business getting a HC job. Still pales in comparison to Nathaniel Hackett getting a HC job.

I agree with them looking Chiefs, but I think they go with the other side of the ball. I'd watch Matt Nagy. He did have issues as a first time HC, but went back and sat under Andy Reid's learning tree some more. And hey, they guy made the playoffs twice with Mitch Trubisky as his QB. Another name I'd keep an eye on...Mike Kafka. OC for the Giants but has the Chiefs roots as well. If Dart keeps showing well, maybe the Titans look to him to work with their young QB too.

I had Daboll as first fired coach during the preseason. Yes, that win may have bought him some more time. I still think he's gone at the end of the year 

It depends on how it goes with Dart. If they finish 7-10 that means they went 7-7 with Dart and were competitive. Just depends.
