Thats definitely someone who will come in and create a culture, and hold players accountable. My only concern is the offensive side of the ball. Maybe Arthur Smith comes with him? He probably wont be in line for any HC gigs anytime soon, so maybe he would stay for awhile.

For all I know this is a token Sportsology interview.  Proof is in the pudding and Tepper to date has shown no indication of being a net positive owner.  He is still front and center and it certainly looks like he enjoys stacking all decisions in his favor.  I would glad to be wrong. 

Vrabel IMO is the best hire out there.  

I'm not saying he hasn't been a terrible owner.

I'm just saying I think he's self reflective.  Maybe his own tendencies will fail him in the end.  But I do think he's making an effort to fix it.

 

And Vrabel is too accomplished to just give a token interview IMO.  He wouldn't waste his own time if he wasn't open to it.  This isn't a zoom like the others.

I think he is self reflective, I just don't think he is NFL smart.  I think his self reflection to date has just caused him to do 180s and overcorrect.   And even if he did stumble across someone good, not sure he could endure the growing pains to see the fruits of it. 

Who knows.  Can only guess.  Vrabel also is set to interview in Atlanta before us. Which is a better job.   Sometimes these very public scheduled interviews aren't always about that job...and it can be about adding pressure elsewhere that someone else might get you.

Atlanta has interviewed almost every candidate out there.  I have absolutely no clue which direction they are going to go.  I thought Bill B was a sure thing and now I'd guess that's a long shot?

I'll still be happy with Canales.  but I'm just happy we are turning over every stone.   

 

For the record, I wanted Harbaugh or Ben Johnson as my ideal guy.     Harbaugh is a lost cause but Johnson could still be an option.  Washington appears intrigued with others as well.

He is now my #1 HC candidate. This team is soft and doesn’t know how to win. They need a complete culture change. Vrabel would establish a tough no nonsense team and establish an identity. There is no way he puts up with meddling owner. I think he and Morgan could be a promising team.

Just a strange coincidence that we wanted to be in Rooney Rule compliance before he’s in the building tomorrow?

Indeed it is. I figured if we don't make a hire today that they were setting themselves up for a swift hire down the line.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
