Mike Vrabel offered 49ers DC job [update: declines offer]

[meatface]

Vrabel's got it made in the shade if he gets the DC job after Romeo and Clowney can actually stay on the field.

Rc has done a great job so idk why they would replace him and clowney is never going to be healthy

Vrabel is smart, pick through your opportunities carefully. Kelly's offense is going to leave defense's on the field to long and given the state of SF they will playing from behind a great deal. You don't do yourself any favor by having the worst defense in your division, and with Seattle, Arizona, and St. Louis to compete with that is where he would find himself. Like others here I see Cranwell stepping down after next season and Vrabel inheriting a strong defense in a weak division, that's more likely to open doors for him down the road but he's a good five years from HC consideration in the pros.

Crennel turns 69 in June, and he may not wish to continue, regardless of whether he's wanted back.

As for Clowney, only time will tell.

Eric should just go back to BSPN and call it a life.

Mangini swore it was all tannenbaum and not him that blew the whistle on deflategate.
Had very kind words for BB and even named his son after Bill.
I honestly beleive it wasnt his doing and would like to see him back on the team in some defensive coaching position at some point and have them bury the hatchet.

That'll happen right around the time Roger Goodell is named Team President.

I'll go even further. Judas was initially thought of as the front runner to keep his job. I bet Belichick placed a call to the SF area code and had a chat with his buddy Chip.

Jed York is universally hated here in San Francisco, where I live. Great opportunity for Vrabes, but if he accepts the job, he'll be dealing incompetent and dysfunctional ownership.

Texans' Vrabel rejects 49ers' DC job, reports say

Loyal to his NFL mentor, Bill O'Brien. Same cannot be said of the most recent DC of the SF 49ers.

One 49er beat writer does not think much of Vrabel or the Niners from the top on down - and thinks even less of Chip Kelly. From his tone he may be coming to a Boston-area radio station any day now.

Grant Cohn: Why Mike Vrabel said no to 49ers’ D-coordinator job

What a slap in the face.

Mike Vrabel, linebackers coach for the Houston Texans, turned down an offer to become the defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday. This job would have been a promotion for Vrabel, and he was the Niners’ first choice. He still didn’t want to work for them.

What a knock on the franchise, the roster, the front office and the head coach, Chip Kelly.

Who knows why Kelly even wanted Vrabel in the first place? Making Vrabel the top choice was Kelly’s first mistake.

. . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . .

My guess: Belichick advised Vrabel to say in Houston. Crennel has only one year left on his deal, so Vrabel can replace him as defensive coordinator in 2017.

Logical reason No. 4. Houston probably has more money to pay coaches. I have no idea how much money the Niners offered Vrabel, but I doubt they offered him much.

The Niners probably don’t want expensive assistant coaches. Think of all the money San Francisco owes former coaches who still are on the street without jobs. Guys like Geep Chryst and Eric Mangini.

And think of the $10.5 million the 49ers still owe Jim Tomsula. They’re not in position to pay a coordinator top dollar. Vrabel probably realized that.

My guess: Vrabel never had any interest in the Niners. He used them to pump up his leverage with the Texans and get a raise.

What a slap in the face.​
