Titans hire Mike Vrabel as HC

[oaken1]

Why

Why take credit for that? That’s like me taking credit for thinking Joe Germaine would make a good QB for some NFL team.

I actually think Vrabel is going to be a decent HC...call it a hunch...a gut feeling. It may be a bit early for him... but I think he has something.

 

[Buckybird]

Vrabel has no business being a HC in the NFL.

I think he’s going to make a better HC than some of the cats were interviewing, we shall see.

Not just you. Mitch was also talking about this guy.

Vrabel has the "it" factor. Excellent pedigree. Gravitas, charisma, knowledge, football IQ...he has it all. Will be interested to see what his staff looks like, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

Well, Mitch might still be crazy, but he knows football.

Based on what? Is it that he coached the defense that allowed the most points in the NFL even though that defense is littered with high draft choices?

I actually know Vrabel, golfed with him and played basketball against him, years ago. He's a good guy but nothing screams head coach about him. He's kind of a loose cannon and immature. He's not detail oriented and doesn't have a "presence" about him. He is competitive though. I'll give him that.

I think he'd make a better college coach than in the NFL. Maybe he'll prove me wrong but I just don't see it. I don't even see how he was a candidate, much less given a job.

He will flame out quickly...just a feelin'.

They gave him a 5 year deal, which is quite a vote of confidence for a first time HC,

You are right, Vrable struggled in his first year as DC. Losing CB A.J. Bouye to FA and DE J.J. Watt didn't help...plus the Texans made no FA additions in the off-season while losing S Quintin Demps, NT Vince Wolfork, LB John Simon and LB Akeem Dent.

I am surprised by your other assessments of him. Here in NE he always has had a presence and a distinct charisma about him and was always a team first player---not a loose cannon or immature---yes boisterous at times, but always in a highly competitive way.

I think it is time to step outside the box - and interview some college coaches, including Jim Harbaugh - I am not excited by current candidates - what ever happene$ to Goodwin, he was a hot canidat3 last year?

 

[Southpaw]

I hope they dont poach him for OC before we can.

Matt La Fleur is rumored for that job. OC/Rams

The same thing can be said about Flores. The arguments for and against Vrabel are similar to those for and against Flores.

People need to want the job to interview for it. Shaw, Harbaugh, Saban, and Meyer aren't interested in the Cardinals job.

True. I haven't touted Flores either. He'd be way down on my list.
