I don't know if it's a sham interview process or not but i'd be shocked if it wasn't Vrabel.

All the journos pretty much know it and according to Giardi so do many league execs.

vrabel is the obvious hire for many reasons.
But watch it be Johnson.
I’d just happy that Jerod is gone, just because he was in over his head it wasn’t his fault though. I’m sure he thought he could excell at the job.
The way the defense regressed, and how bad Mayo was with the media and just seemed really unorganized.
He could be the nicest guy in the world and based on players words he was.
But that doesnt win football games.

I get the feeling that Jonathan wants Ben Johnson and is going to bang the table for him

This decision might indicate how much pull Jonathon has now.

Although I did notice that Robert did use the term I instead of we several times today but i'm probably reading too much into that.

But IMO it will still be Vrabel because having an experienced HC is much safer. Plus RK is still calling the shots.

I don’t think you’re reading too much into it. IMO they probably had recent arguments about this subject. RK will make the decision himself but he probably won’t have too many more of them.

How can any fan not want Ben Johnson here?

Vrabel's nice, but what fun it will be with Ben Johnson. At least for 15 minutes.

We will be the talk of football. I'd definitely take the gamble. It's worth the risk. Like drafting Gronk.

Ben Johnson is someone I would have patience with.

I think Kraft is happy being mostly a figurehead.

I use "I" too. It's habit.

This one might surprise you.
 
I don't really care.

I will have more fun with Ben Johnson.

That should be enough for Patriot's Nation.

How can Kraft triple down on defensive first coaches given how badly the last 6 years have gone?

Bill didn't forget his to do his job. The league changed. It doesn't work that way anymore.

You need to be able to consistently put up 25 plus points.

I don't think Vrabel philosophy can do it.

I just feel like you can’t lose. Both are really excellent options for different reasons. One is super high ceiling but the floor is probably fairly low, the other has a fairly high floor and a decently high ceiling. When you are coming from Jerod Mayo it’s hard not to gush over both
 
Milton being here might allow Johnson to devise some crazy tandem plays involving both maye and Milton .

We are top 3 in terms of desirability and number 1 for Vrabel.

So my guess is it's Johnson as choice 1 and Vrabel as choice 2.
Both are good options that promise to be better than Mayo. My hang up is that I have no idea what criteria the Kraft's are using to make this choice. Last time it was based on how he chose his wives. Funny that RKK chose the crazy hot one for last, LOL. The reality is that they don't have the ability to choose based on football knowledge. So how are they going to make the choice?

Bill is a mastermind at knowing how to prevent teams from scoring more than 25.

What gives you this feeling? Because he’s younger?
 
And Vrabel averages less than that too while at Tenn

Great. You'll have every opportunity to brag about how awesome he is come this upcoming season.

In the meantime you can focus on why he couldn't develop a QB to save his life.

He'll already have Drake so we'll be good
