PATRIOTS NEWS Patriots hire Mike Vrabel to be HC

The media are going to hate asking Vrabel questions. But he won’t be walking back his answers later.

Vrabel is going to be the best coach in the NFL in short order. Andy Reid is right now, and I don't know how long Reid will stick around, but as soon as he's gone, we'll look back on Vrabel-Maye the way we looked at Belichick-Brady. It's going to happen again.

And, also, we'll be celebrating Matt Patricia and Jerod Mayo for bringing us Maye and Vrabel respectively.

 

[ViperGTS]

Any offensive guys near the top, need a minimum of a 5 year contract. You can't cycle OCs etc in every 2 years if Maye shines.

Thats how critical this hire was. We shall see, I am still concerned.

There were reports that he took the interview with the JEST as a "tick-tock" reminder to Kraft. . . .

Hopefully he took some napkins with him on the way out.

Reid is the offensive mind for his team. Thats what the Pats lack and I fear it WILL bite them. Vrabel I have no doubt will hire a top notch OC and offensive staff. Who are their replacements?

I took it to mean that mcdaniels wouldn't take the job because the krafts fired BB

Wonder if this means they go defense with the first pick

Take non QB bpa

The young position coaches he’s going to bring on, too. It only works if you’re constantly bringing in young, talented guys.

And stole all the silverware on his way out each time.

Good way to put it

Thats ridiculously hard to do and it bit him in the ass in Tennessee, right?

Take bpa

After free agency will get a better idea. While i would prefer a LT or WR, a case could be made for defensive front

Here would be the irony if Vrabel hires Tommy Rees as his OC. Rees was the runner up to Belichick for the UNC head coaching job.

Bill, too. But he made it work for 17 years or so first.

I wouldn’t mind Tommy Rees but I’m not opposed to Josh because it would be a long term commitment as long it worked. I know the Josh detractors have said it’s an outdated offense. To me I think Josh has spent the last couple years watching games and thinking about how he could update his playbook and play calling, I would think that’s what any out of work coordinator would be doing.

If most of the league was running a certain type of offense would it be better to be a team that ran a different offense? I remember Bill saying at one point the Pats, Steelers and a couple other teams were running a 3-4 defense while all the others ran a 4-3, he thought it gave then an advantage because offenses had to spend some more time planning for something they didn’t see too often.

If it’s McDaniel he won’t need to be replaced.
If it’s someone who gets a HC job, he will have been grooming a replacement.
And hiring an OC who makes our pathetic offense so good that he gets hired as a HC is a problem I am happy to accept

Yeah I agree. Was it luck? Is just luck..I just don't know. But Brady only had 3 OCs really. Weiss, McD, Billy O, McD.

Thats come high end offensive coaching and that was all he really had.
