Mike Vrabel somewhere right now in a suit with a resume is walking into an interview location and
00:09
ready to make his case when it comes to being the next head coach of the New England Patriots. So
00:14
we'll keep you up to date on that. Of course, I wonder if he's the guy and they've already decided
00:21
that he's the guy, is it a mistake to get it out there that you're gonna have a virtual interview
00:29
with Ben Johnson tomorrow? Or does that delay your announcement? Does that delay getting started
00:35
on all the stuff you want to get started on? Yeah, I'm like, it's just a sham. If you know
00:41
he's the guy, give him the job, let's get rolling and then let's start figuring out
00:45
who's gonna be his OC, who's gonna be the GM, how much say is he gonna have? Let's just get
00:53
the business that way rather than rolling out these sham interviews with a guy like Ben Johnson
01:00
that you know you're not gonna hire. You're just wasting everybody's time. Well, it's not only that
01:05
one tomorrow, but there's another interview scheduled for next week, I think. With Aaron
01:12
Glenn? Yeah, I think Aaron Glenn's scheduled for Saturday. Okay, all right. So you're gonna have to,
01:18
I'm assuming, go through the pomp and circumstance of having those interviews and then you don't get
01:24
any announcement about Vrabel and he can't start until you've done those interviews and
01:30
I mean, I just really hope they don't overshadow Fenway Fest because that is gonna be a banger.
01:36
It's just a waste of time. I just hope they do and I hope by tomorrow we're talking about,
01:41
you know, Vrabel, the next head coach of the job. He will be, there's no way. I mean, I guess
01:46
theoretically everything goes swimmingly today. Then they could cancel those interviews and is
01:51
there... I just don't think you cancel on Ben Johnson. I just don't, I don't think it's smart.
01:55
Like you need to at least talk to him. You need to hear what other smart offensive people are
01:59
gonna say around football and like what their plan would be for Drake May so you have any kind
02:03
of an idea of what you should be doing going forward. But do you think Ben Johnson is looking
02:07
at it like, all right, this is a real interview for me? Don't you think he has the whispers of
02:12
oh, his agent... I mean, he had to accept it so he must think it's real.
02:15
Yeah, he wouldn't take it if he didn't. It must be a destination that he desires
02:21
or an opportunity that he desires. Or is his agent telling him, hey, listen,
02:25
the more teams that are interested in you, the better package we'll be able to get from the
02:32
teams that really want you. If you're a hot commodity. This is the guy last year who was
02:36
so picky. He called, he texted the commanders as they were on a private jet flying to interview
02:42
him that he's like, nah, I don't want to interview with you guys anymore. Have a nice day. Like this
02:45
guy is insanely picky. He specifically chose the New England Patriots as a place he wanted
02:50
to interview with. They're going to take the interview. Also, how do you feel about those
02:57
that argue that Mike Rabel was not that successful as a head coach?
03:00
I mean, he took a team to the AFC Championship. Correct. But then like Ninkovich keeps texting
03:07
you and I all the time and talking about how that team was a playoff team before Rabel got there.
03:12
Yeah, they were. They had lost and I believe it was the divisional round or they made it to the
03:16
divisional round. My biggest concern is I'm kind of on Shyam's page and I said that was my lead
03:24
this morning. Who's your OC? Cause I don't want Arthur Smith. Who does Mike? That's why I want
03:30
you to hire him. So I know who you're hiring and who's going to be taking Drake made it at next
03:36
level.
