One less opening.  We may just be looking at the current 5 vacancies.  If so, that's fewer that most years. I would still keep an eye on Belichick.  There's not an urgency to move for Kraft even if that's in the cards. 

I would watch Tennessee as well. I don’t know that Vrabel doesn’t leave or make enough demands intentionally so he’s told to leave.

I wonder if the Pats are in wait and see mode for Vrabel, supposedly they would be interested if he hit the market.

That one is on my radar too, but if it didn't happen today, it's probably not going to happen.

If Bill B switches teams, I am guessing the Chargers.  Established QB. 

The Raiders are going to hire their interim.  They have done it before, and frankly, Pierce deserves the job (went 5-4, I think, and is popular with the players).

Atlanta is an appealing gig.  They drafted TE and RB in the first round, which is odd, but both are good players.  I would not be surprised to see Vrabel end up there if Tennessee lets him go. 

Washington needs a QB and they have the #2 pick--which means they will be drafting a franchise QB.  This job may be the most attractive to any perspective coach for that reason.  The Commanders MAYE have 2 UNC QBs on the roster by mid spring.  Any coach would love that situation.

Carolina has a rep for firing coaches that do not get immediate results, but the QB position is a #1 overall draft pick who struggled mightily in 2023.  The owner is a meddler.  We are not getting a brand name coach--expect some young upstart who just started shaving every day.  Tepper needs to make some public proclamations to assure season ticket holders and perspective employees that he has learned his lesson.

Lotta smoke around Belichick and the Falcons.

He can't just leave unless he takes a college job. He's under contract. Tennessee would have to fire him or trade him.

Sorry should have clarified. By the first leave I meant get fired. By the second leave I meant be so ridiculous in his demands that they fire him.

in addition to the #2 overall, Washington has 2 2nd rounders (3 picks in the top 40) and 2 3rd rounders.  That's a lot of young talent a new HC will be able to go get to fit whatever vision they have.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
