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

What's happening also indicates that MV has juice around the league, that he's a leader who can persuade people to come here. That bodes well for free agent acquisitions.

He feels not just like the best hire but one of the top 10 coaches in the NFL

Vrabes has def street cred around the league. Hes won plus people that have worked for/with him and know him by association want to work for him.

180 degrees from where they were just a short while ago, eh?

So strange how good coaches actually WANT to come here.

Again, what are you basing that on? What have you seen that the rest of us haven't?

His last 2 OL coach jobs, the results were less than appealing. A buddy is a Saints fan and did not have anything good to say about the guy. My buddy knows football ball really well so I am taking his opinion with no grains of salt.

Even under Bill... Bill's circle of trust contracted so much after Mangini.

I guess the hand wringing that this is a jete-level organization is probably not accurate. Some posters will have to change their tune. Maybe.

That would be awesome.

On the coaching aspect..imagine just how much better this is for polk and baker.. guys that have talent and will stand to have top notch coaching. I say they will be contributing players this season.

I think he's the best coach in the AFCE..

Not holding my breath would like it to happen... but still wouldn't pass on Matthew Golden or Tre Harris.

One thing I can feel certain about Vrabel won't be getting "out-coached " the guy knows every advantage and trick of the trade.. Vrabel only stands to become even better as a HC..

I'm with you PF2.. but I took a hard look at things.. and the development is where Mayo failed miserably.. Polk and baker under Josh stand to be at minimum contributing players.. they have talent and can add value to the offense.. they are young undeveloped players with raw talent.

They better put work in this Offseason and flash in TC.

I thought they would ball last season they both had excellent camps.. I hope they have excellent offseason and baker keeps his mouth shut and put his head into being the best player he can be..

We'll see. Still waiting for the WR coach announcement.

I think Thomas brown who's the passing game Coordinator may be just that... just my guess...

Agreed, but they can get start fresh and put last season down the memory hole.

Remember that in training camp, Polk was looking good.

Baker early on too, then the wheels fell off.

Absolutely he was.. he was with the first team offense for majority of camp.. the combination of Mayo-Brissett hampered his development earlier in the season.. then He got hurt for a bit.

Yep. He'll get out-schemed every now and then but that happens to all coaches. What we do know is it won't be because they aren't prepared. They'll make adjustments and those will be based on data, what has transpired, and logic.

Reported baker was having issues with the play book.. so wasn't AVP
