PATRIOTS NEWS Patriots hire Mike Vrabel to be HC

[Real fan 02]

Agreed. And McDaniels will never be a HC again so he will be in place to build an offense around Maye and be here his whole career

Your correct!! Those in opposition have to understand this! Josh is content where he would be as OC/QB coach. I want this to happen. Once the staff is set then focus needs to be on FA.

 

[Triumph]

I always believed that QB held Vrabel back at Tennessee.

 

[obgod3]

I think this is a great hire, I’ve hired a lot of folks myself. Sometimes the new shiny penny isn’t all that, while I think Ben Johnson will be a good HC he is the wrong person for this particular job. There is now an adult in the room and I like others think Bruschi has inside info on how this goes down. However I don’t understand the hate with BB guys as an OC, or even the hate with Josh, we had dam great offenses for many years with BB, Charlie, Josh, Bill all did a really good job. Granted they all had Brady and we had some dam solid receivers throughout that time. Maybe Drake is the next star, maybe not, he kinda looks like he could be.

 

[Ring 6]

So did Mayo.

That’s why Mayo was on the list

 

[FCB02062]

Wonder if this means they go defense with the first pick

 

[Keyser Söze]

Should we see if Patricia is available for Maye’s second season?

Getting the OC hire right is going to make or break this franchise.

 

[PaulThePat]

Three things to watch for me:

1. Vrabel's staff hires
2. Free agency
3. The draft

Need to nail all three.

 

[Lagaffe_07]

I'm fine with McDaniels, though the whining if he is chosen will be annoying for week or so

The whining will stop on opening day when we’ll score 30 for the 1st time in 4 years

Agreed there. For those opposing McDaniels I'd say he would take Drake to the next level.

Only thing taking Drake to the next level will be a supporting cast of quality players. Especially a LT for the next 10 years.

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

I pray for this offense

I don’t understand this mindset. You realize two of Vrabel’s OCs became head coaches, one of whom is regarded as one of the best in the league in Green Bay. If I trust Vrabel to do anything it’s to find a good OC.

 

[Sect140]

He was really animated. I wonder if has some inside info....

He did say him and Vrabel are good friends, yesterday on the show he said he had been texting with him.

 

[reflexblue]

Great news, now how will Wolf figure into all of this??
Gotta give him a couple of years, this is a monumental rebuild..

From what ive read it is going to be a monumental rebuild. For one ive read that the scouting department has been hollowed out. If true the pats have the smallest scouting department in the nfl

BFFs lol..

 

[upstater1]

I think theoretically no one is safe; but if Vrabes fired Springer it would portend for a lot of bad future choices and I would be disappointed.

Springer ran the league's worst special teams before he was hired here so I really don't know what it would portend at all.

 

[Chasing greatness]

Can he draft well at the wide receiver position?

Aj brown says hello

 

[Rob0729]

Agreed there. For those opposing McDaniels I'd say he would take Drake to the next level.

Hire Josh as a consultant. Not the OC. McDaniels’ offense is wrong for Maye.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Hoping McDaniels comes with and yes sounds like Wolf and Co is gone are demoted.

Once again, where did you read that. You keep msking statements like this but refuse to back them up.

I read that Bill Walsh has agreed to become Vrabel’s OC. This is incredible news. One of the greatest offensive minds of all time is coming to Foxboro.

 

[upstater1]

Bowen was Vrabes DC in Tennessee I believe. So he has a relationship obviously. I want an aggressive DC none of this reactionary Defense attack and dictate the LOS.

??

You need to look at Vrabel's highly successful defenses in Tennessee.

Top 5 or top 10 in points allowed, bottom 10 in yards allowed.

Sound familiar?

Get ready for bend-but-don't break.

Personally, I like it when my defenses don't give up many points.
