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

[Huckleberry1]

It’s pretty clear from the Dews hire that Vrabel is making the final decision on coaching hires.

 

[RobertWeathers]

No word on McAdoo or AVP?

I tend to believe they are gone.

 

[PatsFan2]

Any word on who's our pass game Coordinator under Josh??

 

[mike_usagisan]

I tend to believe they are gone.

I do too. Though McAdoo had some nebulous job title anyway, so they may keep him around.

 

[Love The Drake]

I tend to believe they are gone.

Until we hear otherwise hold on to hope for some stability for Maye.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Dews ----> Derrick Henry

I think if the role has anything to do with the QB, Josh will want his own people.

I don't think they've officially "fired" them but we would not necessarily know. Technically the team has never said that AVP or Covington were fired, yet they just hired McDaniels and Williams to do the jobs that those guys held, so they must be fired.

McAdoo had an "advisor" role so he doesn't really need to be backfilled, and they can have more than one person in that type of role too. We probably won't officially know one way or another for a while.

Lmao Rutgers baby.
Let’s see what else we have up our sleeve;

I'd be fine with the New England Buckeyes this year.

Right, but I think there were reports that he was good at evaluating all kinds of offensive player prospects, so he might be kept on in some other role.

Maybe we can do better but I hope Welker is a consideration for WR coach. Maybe he is the best available?

Edit: I haven't heard of him interviewing anywhere.

Maybe Edelman would consider getting into coaching.

Edelman had to work hard to get to what he became ( a HOFer IMO). Some extremely gifted players for who it comes easy, don’t make the best teachers because they don’t understand the struggle.

OLine coach will be telling
My guess is will need Josh’s approval
If that coach is on another team
That is when I think pass or run game coordinator title comes in to make it seem like a promotion of sorts

Yep. That o-line coach is going to need to know the EP offense, calls, protections, etc.

Maybe but Welker has been a coach in the NFL since 2017 and WR coach since 2019. I think there is value with having that experience.

Btw: Welker’s 1st year in coaching was with the Texans when Vrabel was DC.

I agree. JMD must have really made Vrable a believer in what he plans to do with the offense. I don't believe he hired Josh as a favor to Kraft, Josh convinced him during the interview that he was the guy to run the offense.

I agree. Vrabel was holding all the cards, and he was given full control over coaches and personnel.

 

[hornetfb85]

Big Loss might be overstating a bit. But thought he did an ok job with the crap sandwich roster he was handed.

 

[Brewskies]

So far if the Pats hire Josh for OC and Williams for DC plus the former running back coach for Tennessee I say the Vrabel is doing a great job with staff

 

[40yrpatsfan]

Stop trying to re-live the old patriot way. Brady is gone. Become innovative, adapt and move on.

First of all, any new HC brings in assistants he knows. That's what Vrabel's clearly doing. If that happens to intersect with a former OC under Belichick, that's somehow a problem? Let alone that said OC has 3 rings and 6 SB appearances? There's no OC candidate out there with the credentials of McDaniels, a perfect fit who's only 48 and has HC experience as well. This absurd mantra that anyone/anything connected to BB must suck is ********.

It wasn't ALL Brady, either. And Maye has many of the same intangibles, very similar arm talent, and is far more mobile. McDaniels can mold him into a superstar assuming they can find a LT and a WR.
