PATRIOTS NEWS Patriots request to interview Ben Johnson

[Grogan14]

He has been saying this for years. It is time to spend some of his billions and secure a qualified coach. Jim Harbaugh is getting 16 per year so 15 for Vrabel seems fair.

Actions speak louder than words

Lips have been pretty tight all of the sudden.

Its pretty amazing that essentially pats are only interviewing 2 candidates (not counting Rooney coaches).
They better be pretty damn sure they are getting one of them.
Have to believe they had a wink wink understanding with Vrabel for months

but the money difference, and maybe Johnson will accept the 10 mill or less to coach Drake.

I heard he never called Kraft, Thunder.

Because he is trying to get the job based on merit.

It really isn’t fair to the Lions either.

They are trying to win a SB, as is the goal of all teams.

They are on the doorstep while having their OC distracted?

Don’t say it is just the bye week. He will be thinking about this up to the SB.

And their DC as well. Other teams attempting to poach your coaching staff is the ultimate sign of respect in the NFL. If both leave it will be interesting to see if there is any impact to the Lions run.

This happens every year where some coordinator has a wink-wink deal to become some other team's coach while going through the postseason. There's nothing they can do about it.

It hits home for the Pats because we were effected when the Rats were negotiating with Bill Parcells when he should have been concentrating on beating the Packers.

Right, but we win with Weis and Crennel when both were preparing for other jobs.

That is why the rumors of Vrabel wants 15/year and Pats are only offering 10/year sounds suspect to me
Kraft has known to be cheap so this is a obvious rumor
Truthfully my guess is they are working out some finer details and Vrabel will be our HC soon
But I’m not going to lie. I’m usually wrong lol

Im always wrong too. The best answer is usually the easiest one. Regarding contract rumors. If the other rumors are true and we’ve been in contact with him for a while, don't you think contract **** (atleast ball park numbers) would’ve been hashed out by now?

You mean a message board poster talking about another guy that heard from another guy might be unreliable? Whaaattt!!??

they werent hc’s

they werent hc’s

They were preparing to be and were hired before our postseason run was over.

 

[Aussie Patriot]

I don’t think either side would say awful.

I don't think either side would say anything.

 

[Love The Drake]

I don't think either side would say anything.

it benefits leverage with Vrabel and it benefits leverage for Johnson with Bears and Raiders I’ll say Jags but no way he goes there.

If they were not even close with numbers
Vrabel would be whoring himself to any team that would listen to him to drive up the price
He took a Jets interview to get our attention
He took the Bears interview. Zoom interview
He has not gone near LV, Saints and Jags
