Is Gandalf or Jesus available?

no but arthur smith is and that's the exact direction the panthers need to go

if vrabel is available and they don't pull the trigger i don't know man. I don't know. Gotta think Morgan is vouching for him. Hell, vrabel scored a TD in front of Dan in the Super Bowl.

 

God damn this play can't be guarded in man. Look at Peppers accidentally picking Al Wallace. And this was before offensive pass interference, er, pick plays, became the norm

Council interviews Buck Reising, a Tennessee reporter he used to work with, about Vrabel.

  • Lots of joking and ball busting between the two.
  • Reising thinks Vrabel was advised to wait before entering the coaching searches
  • Council doesn't think Vrabel would mesh with Tepper because of Tepper's meddling ways. He says this after Reising explained how Vrabel lost a power struggle and was fired over it.
  • Says that Vrabel's old school approach isn't the way the NFL is going
  • After the interview, Council says he thinks Vrabel's and Tepper's personalities would clash too much

There's a bit more information here, but you can watch for yourself.

If their personalities wouldn’t mesh, or Teppers “meddling ways” wouldn’t work.. why would Vrabel even entertain an interview..? They didn’t sneak the interview past Tepper lol he’d have to sign off on it. And it’s not like Vrabel is a naive prospective coordinator looking for his big break. He has interest in the job, maybe not FOR Tepper. But there’s something here he wants to discuss.

Vrabel is very overrated. They had 1 nice cinderella run his 2nd year there riding the high of the energy he brought to the team but he's just not a great coach and he's too old school especially on offense. The Titans had a great roster with a legit 2nd tier franchise QB for a few years and top 3 RB in the game and yet they came up short every year except that 1 mentioned above. I just don't see how he makes any sense for this team right now.

He only become a legit 2nd tier QB….on Vrabel’s team though. 

Vrabel opened with 5 straight winning seasons.  I wouldn’t call that a one Cinderella run.  His teams were tough and Vrabel is a smart in some coach.

a hard nose, tough, culture guy who is also smart….seems exactly like what we need to climb out of the gutter.  But I don’t see it happening.  What Vrabel is….isn’t going to fly with Tepper

Not really, Tannehill was extremely underrated on some really bad Dolphins teams before he tore his acl and went to Tennessee. His stats got a bit better on Vrabel's team (largely because of Henry opening up the offense I'd argue) but he was always very solid before that.

 

4 straight, the first 2 barely above .500. Then 11 and 12 win seasons where they faceplanted in the playoffs each year followed by 2 pretty terrible losing seasons. I disagree he's a smart in game coach, yes they have been tough and he's a good motivator but that only gets you so far. His schemes and strategy just won't cut it in today's NFL, his teams were never viewed as a legitimate threat to win it all any year.

 

Would I take what they had over what we've had the last several years, yeah absolutely, but I think we should strive for better than that and a HC who can actually lead us to sustained success and a SB win (or multiple). I don't ever see Vrabel doing that and his message and leadership eventually wears thin.

My worry with coaches like Vrabel is how much of their image overrides their effectiveness.

Is he genuinely that good, or do people just think he is because of all the swagger?

I also feel he would be very very dependent on getting a great OC, so I have some doubts

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.

      It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now.

      The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
