If Vrabel doesn't get a HC gig, I can see him landing in Vegas or Atlanta with BB, as DC.

If he doesn't get another HC gig this year (I would be shocked)...I would take a year off if I was Vrabel.

You are still getting HC money and why put your name on the line as a first year DC.

He was a DC for 1 year before getting HC gig. He can keep his name out there and relevant for future opportunities. He'll get paid either way.

Why would he do that? He’s better off going on CBS or NFLN where he can be in front of the ownership class every day as they watch TV.
Here's another reason. BB is only going to coach ATL until he breaks Shula's record...2 seasons at most. Vrabel can have the same type of contract that Mayo just had.

Last reason, RE Vrabel...you never know when an owner is going to fall in love and opt for the latest fresh fad....that's how we got Kliff...instead of a tried and true HC.

Why would Vrabel want to work for Belicheck—a guy who notoriously freezes out his coordinators.

The guy who just make sure Mayo got the gig? The guy Vrabel played for, similar to Mayo? Most of his other coordinators and coaches didn't play for him.

Belicheck has been grooming Mayo for years to be the next Patriots coach. That isn't exactly a state secret.
Belicheck or the Patriots more broadly? Belicheck considers himself a coach of coaches, so this isn't really a surprise to me.

But managing the Pats' contractual obligation to have Mayo succeed Belicheck? Citation needed.
