PATRIOTS NEWS Patriots hire Mike Vrabel to be HC

[ViperGTS]

Nah, we need to win football games so we pick players based on if they can help us win games, not if the fans like what they say. Tavai should be on the roster, play a lot on special teams and be a backup LB unless we don’t upgrade the position because we ran out of resources

I get that, but he is wholly replaceable and that sends a message. The fans, well they pay for the salaries of the players in large part right? So you insult the fans as he did, you get sent packing. Anyone else want to try it?

 

[Big Bucks]

Yeah it’s definitely the NFLs fault we drafted Mac Jones and hired Mayo.

I put owners in with the NFL banner. Apologies I didn't make that clear

I disagree. If you can play that is what matters. Fans feelings aren’t a reason to diminish the team. Shouldn’t be considered at all in personnel decisions.

The messages should be about your ability as a player and your actions as a teammate, not publicity.

 

[Big Bucks]

What does this even mean. They had a winning season and a playoff berth 3 years ago

sshh lets keep that between you and me yeah.

Are you the Ross that played in the additional yahoos league

 

[Grogan14]

Ain't buying it. Vrabel's 1st choice by far was the Pats. He would've waited.
Vrabel is a better poker player than Kraft.
So am I. He panicked. There was no need.

We just don’t know. I think Kraft needed Vrabel more than the other way around. The jets and bears wanted Vrabel also

 

[reflexblue]

I'm still not a fan of Wolf staying on. It already undermines Vrabel's influence. He got screwed by his GM in Tennessee.

If Wolf is the guy responsible for pushing us to draft Gonzo, Keion, and Barmoure in the previous drafts then yeah keep him. But if his draft record is solely from last year's class, then get someone Vrabel wants to work with.

I think we'll see big changes in keon and barmores play for the better.

Why would Vrabel wait and get shut out if all the other jobs whule we decide if we want to offer him the job?

I think I’d like to play poker against you.

I don't know if this is the game i'm thinking of but i have been thinking of bradys last game, it was against tenness., vrable out coached bb... He went to some obscure rule that allowed tenn to run almost two minutes off the clock without using a time out. That was the moment i wanted vrable to take over after bb retired.

 

[ALP]

we now have a coach who has, on a football field, outmaneuvered BB in the recent past

vs a coach we just let go that seemed to always make the wrong decision just related to game clock etc

so Vrabel is a definite upgrade, which makes sense cuz he has more experience

but we once again did a search that took not even a week? cmon

 

[TheRainMaker]

Checked out Taylor Lewan’s claim that Vrabel will help Pats win one score games.

I counted Vrabel was 28-23.

[Huckleberry1]

Huh? We're saying the same thing.

My apology.

 

[Big Bucks]

We just don’t know. I think Kraft needed Vrabel more than the other way around. The jets and bears wanted Vrabel also

What a threesome hey on making good decisions of late.

 

[Zuma]

 

[Huckleberry1]

Nice

I think it says something more about what kind of impact injuries and poor drafts (especially at QB) can do to a team. In the same way that it’s fair to say that the success had a lot to do with a historically good running back and capable OCs. Vrabel should get plenty of credit and plenty of blame. But, he’s well regarded, has had success, and seems to have an understanding of how to get all parts of an organization on the same page. So, seems like a good fit to me.

I love the fact that he spent the last season in player development.

It was the playoff game.

Bama fans HATED him

Bama fans hated Bill O’Brien too.

I guarantee you they would have killed to have him back after this past season. They hate Seth Lattrell far more. The Tides’ offense was far worse this year than the year before with Rees.

 

[farn]

Of course, but he would never say it. Then again I bet he has every game of every season circled. I wonder if he has spoken to Drake yet.

I hope Vrabel is able to convince / show Maye that things will be different next Fall.

 

[KCSVEN]

Ton of weak teams on our schedule in 2025, Pats and Vrabel have a chance to turn it around record wise pretty quickly if they can get the right players in FA and draft.
Bucs, Bills twice, Bengals, Ravens are only games against good QB’s. 12 other games we will likely have the better QB.
