00:02 - The thing with Mike Vrabel is he's gotta go somewhere

00:06 where they believe in his philosophy

00:07 of not only winning with defense, but the running game.

00:11 Though, as I reported for Pro Football Network

00:13 before the season started,

00:14 Mike wanted to be a little bit more forward thinking.

00:16 Couldn't get away from Derrick Henry, he was on the roster.

00:18 He'd like to be a little bit more forward thinking

00:21 to today's NFL, but still gonna start

00:23 with a run with Vrabel.

00:24 And that's gotta be welcomed by any team that talks to him.

00:27 And he'll be in these searches very, very soon here.

00:30 And by the way, since he was fired,

00:32 he is free to interview with any NFL team.

00:35 Any coach who's still coaching in the playoffs

00:38 cannot interview until at a minimum,

00:40 the 22nd of this month, a week from this Monday.

00:43 That's the adjustment to the rules

00:45 because the league continues to tweak

00:48 these interview rules here.

00:49 They need to do that

00:50 'cause these coaches cannot be distracted.

00:53 That's a big deal here.

00:54 And then, as far as what happened

00:57 in New England and Vrabel, again, they had this agreement.

01:01 They couldn't go, Bob Kraft was not gonna go back

01:03 on his word.

01:04 Mayo was this guy.

01:05 And whenever Belichick was gonna leave.

01:07 Now, again, Bob didn't know that he was gonna fire

01:09 or push Belichick out.

01:11 It just happened because the season didn't go well.

01:13 So he was not gonna go back on his word.

01:15 Now, Vrabel is an outstanding football coach.

01:18 I've talked to many coaches that work for him.

01:20 Every play is like fourth of one.

01:23 He's super intense, but he's a great coach.

01:26 He had disagreements on a couple of things.

01:27 I'm told with Amy Adams-Strumpf,

01:29 the owner of the Titans,

01:32 that's why he's no longer there.

01:33 And that was the biggest surprise, by the way,

01:34 as we move on here.

01:35 The biggest surprise to me was not Pete Carroll,

01:38 72 years old.

01:39 Mike Vrabel getting canned.

01:40 That stunned me.

01:41 I did write on my Monday column for profootballnetwork.com

01:45 that this is a situation to watch.

01:47 There's a lot of things that are not clear,

01:49 but I did not think that would end

01:50 with Vrabel being fired.

01:52 You're talking about, Pharrell,

01:54 a top five to top seven coach out there now on the open.
