PATRIOTS NEWS Vrabel's Staff Discussion Thread (Discuss related news here)

[Love The Drake]

In Vrabel we are able?
The new in Bill we trust.

Mayo's assessment?? Rothstein lost all credibility with me.

Wonder if he makes in on Vrabs staff.

I have a feeling Vrabel will figure out how to get the best of the coaches that have ability. And if they don't, they won't be here very long.

I don't mind him or AVP if they continue to hone their crafts: But I don't want either at the Top of anything regarding our Passing Game.

Lazar's Top Candidates for the Patriots Next Offensive Coordinator

After introducing Mike Vrabel as head coach, the attention now turns to filling out Vrabel's coaching staff.

I forgot about Josh McCown. History with Maye. Runs the WCO which looks to be Vrabel's preferred offense based on his time in Tennessee. Learned under Kevin O'Connell. His biggest knock is he doesn't have a lot of experience as a coach.

Maye is best pushing the ball down the field from the pocket.

Yeah, I think he could be the real dark horse candidate.

The Lazar write-up is interesting.

So there are three distinct dimensions here:

1. How good a coach is he, and how good a fit for Maye?
2. Will he be here for the next 4-5 years, or just passing through on the way to a HC position?
3. WC or Earhardt-Perkins terminology?

Fortunately Vrabel is in a good position to judge all these issues. He grew up with E-P, and he just came from a WC shop.

OT for this thread, but I didn't realize Vrabel was never a starter for his first contract, and Belichick then signed him to a 4-year minimum contract.

Belichick wanted to draft Vrabel with the Jets, but the Jets didn't need a LB at the time. Supposedly, Belichick told Vrabel when they did a scouting visit that Vrabel would one day play for him even though they wouldn't be drafting him.

 

[Ring 6]

Yes

 

[RobertWeathers]

You wish that's how it is.

The Godfather is not ceding control of the Patriots family business to anyone. Bob is making money. The right time to get rid of Wolf and his soldiers is now to bring in Vrabels people. The Godfather allowed Vrabel confidant Cowden into the family, but that's it.

Wolf is not a Corleone.....

 

[yukon cornelius]

Mccown with a vet passing game type coordinator or some other vet in a position on offense wouldn't be the worst decision

 

[Triumph]

Wolf is not a Corleone.....

No, but he is a Kraft consigliere.

Don Robert trusts him.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Don Robert trusts him.

Thats Robyn Glaser.

 

[Triumph]

Thats Robyn Glaser.

No women can have a high position in the family business.

That's why you never see her.

I would not be surprised to see AVP stay as OC

I would not be surprised to see AVP stay as OC

I would be shocked.

can you stop!!

I would be shocked.

I would..

Pop Douglas would become Elite with Josh McD and Wes Welker on our Staff nostalgia.

I have thought about this also - the biggest beneficiary of Josh McDaniels being hired would be Pop Douglas.
