The Official Vrabel vs Ben Johnson Discussion Thread

[Love The Drake]

I am a jokester
Yes no disrespect to people’s choices
Sorry to hear about your marital problems
You seem like a good guy
I guess at this point it’s all about the kids
Good Luck my friend

I hope we don’t make a mistake overlooking Johnson.

Why would he feel that if that Pats already met the requirements of the Rooney Rule? That makes no sense. The Pat's request isn't related to the rule. More likely, he was not one of the first candidates to be considered or its not a great fit for him so he does not want to waste his time.

If each meeting is 3 hrs, he has 15 hours of zoom meetings over the next couple of days. I would say no also if I didn't think I had a real shot.

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.

I think this is the biggest reason I lean Vrabel. We don’t need someone to go along with the chain of command, we desperately need someone to be the chain of command. Vrabel has that and I’m not sure that Johnson will develop it as fast as we would need him to.

Of course. It does not make much sense why the Pats contacted him other than looking good because Breer whined to the world about how he doesn't like their Vrabel preference.

It’s not that it’s the media saying Pats made a mockery of the Rooney rule.

Meh. Did the make a mockery of the Rooney rule when they just gave the job to a black coach with zero interviews?

This isn't a Patriot problem. It's a NFL problem.

Patriots saying that Vrabel interview took place in Boston
Mike Reiss saying it was probably Chestnut Hill
Krafts home to add the personal touch to the interview

On another note
Vrabel still does not have a interview scheduled with LV yet

This is looking more and more like it’s not “If” but “When they sign Vrabel

After reading Raiders have decided not to interview Vrabel.
Everyone thinks it’s a done deal he goes to Pats.
Ben Johnson would need to knock the Pats socks off in 3 hours.
A tall tall task.

If he comes with McDaniels I will be thrilled.

Somehow Pete Carroll already has his interview scheduled with LV but Vrabel doesn’t

Yeah I think Ben Johnson is fighting a losing battle.
But hey he can interview and crazier things have happened like hiring Mayo without him earning it.

There has to be a reason for it
My only thought is TB reached out to Vrabel and Vrabel said he wanted NE and NE wants him
What else could it be if Pete gets a interview but not Vrabel

Guessing Ben Johnson takes the Chicago job.
Glenn the Jets job.
Jags I could see going to Pete Carrol.
And the Raiders go Pete Carrol or Kliff Kingsbury.

I noticed also that Vrabel was supposedly going to interview with the Jaguars as well but I can’t find anything on a scheduled interview with them either.

Feeling bad for my man Ben but elated we are getting a true leader and if we get Josh McDaniels he’s essentially a Ben Johnson himself.

 

[Sect140]

Doesn’t Johnson have an interview with the Jaguars also.

Johnson has us, Jags, Raiders, Bears.

we are the first one.
