Why are you arguing with yourself?
Don't knock it, it's kind of fun
I never lose an argument when I do it
I argue with everyone and never lose. It’s a mindset !
Vince Young says let it live on!!!!!!Time to let this thread die. Vrabel doesn’t work here any more and has no influence.
I was wondering if someone would mention it. I was quoting myself because @Riverman gave a troll rating without actually answering the question.Why are you arguing with yourself?
View attachment 21533One of those people in the background has to be Titanmark.
Is that's someone taking a shit lol.
I think a big difference is, those coaches under Shanahan's tree actually LEARN from Shanahan. Can you honestly say you have confidence in Vrabel teaching and making his coaches better? If so, in what areas is he improving them? It certainly isn't offensive schemes.
Just the way he liked itThere is Evidence that Vrabel didn’t make anyone better
I undid it. Honestly don’t remember doing that- must have been a misfire while scrolling.I was wondering if someone would mention it. I was quoting myself because @Riverman gave a troll rating without actually answering the question.
That's a genuine question. What skillset or attribute do you think other coaches get to lean from Vrabel? Guess it was too tough and offensive for some.
Yes... IF.Point was, HAD IT PANNED OUT - Vrabel would have been one of the Tom Bradys of Coaches, not in the sense of the GOAT - but in the sense of taking UNDRAFTED WR's (mailroom clerk positon coaches) and making them Super Bowl MVPS... (head coach contending coordinators)
But naturally we can all look at that now and scoff -- because downing & kelly were dumpster fires, and shane bowen colored all over the walls once daddy jim schwartz left for work.

Yes... IF.
And if the queen had balls, she'd be king. A good leader is self-aware enough to know his strengths and weaknesses. Confidence is one thing, delusion is another.
Most people on this board were aware enough to know those hires weren't going to work out. Somehow Vrabel, didn't. Did he really think he was an offensive genius that could build up a tree with any coaches? Even when Lafleur and Art were hired, I don't think anyone claimed it was BECAUSE they learned from Vrabel. Lafleur was hired in spite of Vrabel.
Hubris does lead to terrible decisions. He did make some great decisions with Pees and Schwartz, just unfortunate it seems he didn't learn from them. On to the next
I tend to hit bullshit trying to hit cheers all the time.I undid it. Honestly don’t remember doing that- must have been a misfire while scrolling.
Isn't Vrabel's respect due to his "accomplishments"?It's one thing to respect someone's accomplishments, it's something entirely different to respect the person.
Downing was not good, he proved it in Oakland before coming to Ten.The actual truth is, we don’t know. Most people of this board knew nothing and didn’t like the hires because they weren’t sexy. But it wasn’t most. It’s just the 5 or so loudest in here that complain no matter what. The facts are now we don’t know how good any of these guys could have been because it appears Vrabel was micro managing everything. Downing might be good. He had no trouble getting a job. You think Aaron Rodgers would have allowed him to be hired if he didn’t think he knew something? Bowen is in the running to stay with the Titans. Vrabel is sitting at home.
Like I’ve said. It appears this was all Vrabel. Maybe he wasn’t fired for not firing his staff. It was just him and his system.
Not arguing, just my take.
