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.

      Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46

      As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
