Congrats! Feel so proud for him.

UPDATE:

 

[RobertWeathers]

Hmmm. He must have had offers.

RAC turns 70 in June.

The transition seems right.

Vrabel is being very smart with his career.

 

[ALP]

yeah other teams might have been pegging him as DC as well so Houston did the smart thing

wonder how much input Vrabel had in scheme this past week

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

Good for him, he was one of my favs from the dynasty days. Loved that we stole him from the Steelers....

 

[jah]

Damn, had no idea Romeo was so old.

 

[VrabelJr]

yay me

 

[Bill Lee]

Who's Varbel?

 

[oldrover]

OT: Varbel has been promoted to new Def. Coordinator in HOU. Crennel expected to remain on staff

"Sorry... the correct answer is VARBEL... not Vrabel."

Edit: dang that commie Bill Lee... beat me to it! LOL

It seems that at least the Texans believe in what they are doing and have that direction that Mike Lombardi says when he goes on Skip Bayless show. Compared to other situations around the league that's a good thing. I'm not sold on Bill OBrien but you absolutely keep him in charge and let him do his thing for another season, it's hard to have great goals with that QB situation they have but the division seems like is theirs to lose.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Very happy for him. It was the only way you could get Vrabel to stay without losing Crennel. He'll be a HC in no time.

Just a reminder: Vrabel's dream job is currently occupied not by Bill Belichick but by Urban Meyer.

Vrabs is the man, people see him as a journeyman but he was stud in college. He is still is the all time sack leader for Ohio State.

I just hope that when he becomes a head coach, that it's in the NFC........
Over/under is 2.5 years.....

This guy will be a head coach somewhere in a few years. College or pro.

If Paul Brown were smart, he would monitor Vrabel's progress as DC and place him on a short list of those to replace Marv Lewis (who should've been fired the day after the regular season ended, anyway) as his HC.

 

[Dorito Dink]

One of my all-time favorite Pats. He'll be a Head Coach in no time. Congrats, Vrabel!

I hadn't read yesterday's news:

Texans make OC George Godsey scapegoat for Brock Osweiler's struggles

Glad to see them straighten out their defensive side, but their offensive side seems to be a steaming mess.

Report: Bill O'Brien to call Texans' plays, Mike Vrabel to run defense

Seems BOB's future is now even more closely tied to Ostweiler, which can't end well IMHO.

 

[HTownChris]

Congrats on the Texans for making smart decisions on the def side.

Now, if they were really smart, they need to hire Atl QB coach and make him the ass OC and tell him his only job is to fix Brock.
