That had been done, hope they have another 4-13 seasons though

 

[Roid Jones]

Obvious hire is obvious

 

[David_TheMan]

They just didn't want vrabel to be the first coach after belli.

 

[Big Boss]

Wow

They just didn't want vrabel to be the first coach after belli.

I think it was a contractual thing that Mayo was coach in waiting after Beli.

 

[JLova]

Mayo was a placeholder. He was never going to get a real shot. The black experience

 

[Street Knowledge]

Let’s see if he can pick good OC’s

I doubt it. They could easily buy out that contract. Kraft just likes the idea of saying he got a black man to replace bill. That's it.

Bill went 5-11 his first season. I expect them to make every excuse in the book for vrabel should he match the record of mayo

 

[King Poetic]

Hope Buffalo smashed them twice a year and they fail in the draft and free agency with that bullshyt they pulled on their hiring process

Derrick Henry is not walking through that door

It seems like Kraft is just east coast Jerry Jones who won the coach lottery once with Beli, like Jerry did with Jimmy, and now we're seeing his actual ability to lead without that coach in the building. Vrabel ain't so good of a coach for Kraft to move like the goof he's been moving like.

Derrick Henry is not walking through that door

Exactly. Vrabel and Arthur Smith should be paying Henry like he got them in a music industry 360.

You are right and as usual that goofy David doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

 

[Controversy]

Kraft wanted Vrabel all along...Vrabel got a sabbatical, he's now rejuvenated; all the while, Mayo served as a placeholder.

I actually think NE has a chance to be decent in 2 yrs, but blk coaches get a raw deal 99% of the time when they're head coaches (Tomlin the only current exception) & it's messed up Mayo couldn't get a 3 yr leash with a talent deficient roster.

I hope Mayo finds work as a LB coach again, works his way back up to DC and gets another HC opportunity.

NE was a competitive bad team so they can prob win 6-7 games next season.

 

[Black Lightning]

I feel sorry for Drake Maye. Vrabel does not know how to develop young qbs.​

​

Malik Willis developed more in 2 months in Green Bay under Matt LaFleur then he did in 2 years under Vrabel.​
