If they get a verbal agreement they could hire most of his staff and get them on board while they wait for him.
The fear would be Patriots get McDanieled.

But it's unlikely either side agrees after only a 3 hour zoom meeting.
 
I would take either of the Rams tackles, Jackson or Noteboom over Robinson, who I really don’t want. And I’ll definitely get worked up if they overpay him. That’s how you build a ****ty team, overpay mediocre players out of desperation. I want them to build a great team, and that means making smart decisions, overpaying jags is the opposite of that.

Bad teams have to frequently overpay in order to plug important holes in the short term. The question about the Rams guys is of course will they be available, and if so why?
 
If we schedule a second interview with BJ
Then they are totally in on him because that interview probably won’t be till February
Vrabel probably will not wait that long because he could get squeezed out waiting
Good idea. More times you get BJ in your office, the better.

(For comedic purposes, I hope he gets the gig.)
 
But it's unlikely either side agrees after only a 3 hour zoom meeting.
Unless they’ve been doing homework on each other prior to.
Which is very possible, reports were Patriots started the search after the Arizona game and Johnson and Vrabel are the only 2 serious candidates they seem to be targeting,
 
However I’m expecting after the interview with Johnson tomorrow they announce the Vrabel hiring on Monday morning.

Didn’t you just say since he left without a deal he’s going to Vegas?

I’m sure he would want to see the offices, practice fields, weight rooms and meeting rooms.

Johnson
Vrabel

You don’t have to overpay because there is no urgency. This isn’t a one year rebuild, they simply need to get the best players they can to fill out their roster.

Noteboom was injured and finishing his deal, Jackson is 26 and played very well replacing Noteboom. If either are available they should go after them. If not then look elsewhere the draft.

There is no reason to act out of desperation, they need to be smart,

Many of us want Ben Johnson here. It's exciting to think about.

But the reality of having Vrabel available now, and realizing what would take to actually work this out with Ben Johnson, makes the chances of this happening pretty slim.

Add on the familiarity the Krafts have with Vrabel and the way Vrabel very much fits what has been successful here. I think it’s such an uphill climb for Johnson.

lol nah no disrespect to who is but that’s never been my cup of tea.
I like women too much, problem is my wife isn’t the biggest fan of me.
Matter of fact we signed separation papers day after Christmas and it’s hanging on by a thread. At the moment we are together for the kids.
She says she doesn’t trust me .0001 at all at the moment.

Well it depends if Johnson seems more like he will go along with the chain of command and he can develop Maye and has a plan that knocks Wolfs and Krafts socks off.
Or Vrabel goes Vegas then we hire the next man up.

Good Luck my friend

Thanks much appreciated.
I can be selfish I guess I’ve always been a bit selfish.
But it’s like I could put something away in the wrong place and it’s like she’s keeping track. Then brings up it’s been like that for 15 years I’m like damn.
