I cant help but remember a clip about Vrabel, where they asked Bill Bellichek about him becoming a coach, and ill paraphrase, but he more or less said he knew Vrabel would get into coaching, and Vrabel would often come to him with ideas about how to handle certain situations, and Bill B would tell him, "One day when you are a coach, absolutely try it out, but now we are going to do it this way..."
And I cant help but feel like Vrabel has some ego issues, and doesnt understand the concept of being a coach as opposed to being a player.
Does he have a press conference, honestly, where he doesnt mention in some form "Back when I was a player", or "I was undrafted, and was a free agent" or "I played in this league a long time"
This guy was a coordinator for 1 season, was fast tracked to a HC. In my opinion, this requires almost a prodigy level of expertise at something. Like for someone to just be given the HC job after minimal coaching experience, regardless of their playing experience, they should be on the forefront of some new idea. Look at McVey, he was fast tracked, and hes shown to be on a special level offensively, he can like remember every play from every game he coached, like you hear him talk and the guy is on a different level than the average NFL coordinator.
Now theres Vrabel who doesnt seem to understand basic concepts of when to go for it, when to kick a FG, when not to kick a field goal, and I cant help but wonder what did we hire this guy for? Why did JRob need Vrabel, what exactly does Vrabel bring to the table that it was a no brainer to hire him.
The team seems more undisciplined than under previous coaches, there seems to be alot more finger pointing both on the team and in the fan base than under other coaches. Most of us just feel like something is "off" with the team week to week, and if we are being honest most of the time that indicates leadership issues.
Couldn’t have said it better. And it’s troubling. JR is trying to be the Patriots of the South and it’s a dumpster fire. Just cause you were at one time associated with the Pats is irrelevant. The fact that Vrabel got the job after one season as a coordinator is a joke. If he wasn’t associated with the Pats, no way he gets the job. Maybe I’m off base on that, but it seems that way.
