Now you take a look and the breaking news with mike vrabel is clearly grabbing some people here early
00:06
So let's dive in to what this means. We will get to chargers texans in a bit. Don't worry about it
00:12
I mean again, if you missed it herbert was atrocious in the playoffs once again
00:16
I mean, that's the the longest short of it all
00:18
mike vrabel hired by the new england patriots
00:21
One thing that when this team moved on from gerard mayo
00:25
After one season it certainly suggested
00:29
that
00:30
they
00:31
Felt good. They'd be able to make a big move
00:34
And I think undoubtedly mike vrabel is a big move for the new england patriots
00:40
But joe, is it the right move for the new england?
00:43
Patriots, I I think I'm perplexed about I go both ways because I think mike vrabel is a very good coach and it's an upgrade
00:50
From gerard mayo
00:51
But I sort of put mike vrabel in the same situation that maybe we're in with mike tomlin with the pittsburgh steelers
00:58
Did he plateau with tennessee?
00:59
Did he get to a certain level and couldn't get over the top with derrick henry ryan tannio and a.j brown?
01:05
I mean, yeah made it to an afc championship a few years ago
01:09
Couldn't knock off kansas city and regress from that point on so if you're looking for new england to get back to being competitive
01:16
Within the afc. I think that's a very doable feat with mike vrabel over
01:21
Maybe gerard mayo because of the experience and a younger, you know, obviously rookie second year quarterback in drake may but
01:29
Is he is he an elite coach? I don't know. I I yeah, I still have questions about mike vrabel as well
01:36
And I don't know if he's going to get them to an afc championship over the next three or four years
01:41
I think he's stepping into the best coaching spot. You can be in a ton of money an owner
01:46
That's embarrassed and you figure you have your franchise quarterback already under wraps and a top five pick coming into it
01:51
That's the start here, but understand this too from nfl franchise and owners
01:54
They don't like to be out there in the streets like man. I used to have something really good
01:58
Now i'm the embarrassment right now the nfl and everybody's telling me it's because I found a quarterback and a coach and they're gone
02:03
Now I had nothing to do with the success of this franchise
02:06
Like if you're in new england, right the ship's coming in, you know
02:09
You don't want a shipwreck. You got that big lighthouse out there with the beacon of light that goes. Ah, you know what?
02:13
That's safety. I know exactly where i'm going. That was this hire
02:16
It was the safest hire they could have and also I don't know joe if it ends up in afc championship games or superbowls
02:22
We know what we'll end up with this team is going to be sound next year. They're going to be tough
02:26
They're going to win football games because they're going to spend money. Does he get a championship?
02:29
We'll find out but for me the safest move that I don't think anybody in new england looks at this and goes
02:34
Man, I wanted dion like you get vrabel in that news hit
02:36
It's like all right looks like we're back to new england patriots football, but see that is my issue with this
02:42
What what is the the patriot way to me?
02:46
Was winning and it was winning at all costs whether that meant getting rid of guys kind of ruthlessly in their prime
02:55
cheating potentially
02:57
winning winning
02:59
It does not mean that then you only know six people around the league and one of them has to be your head coach
03:05
Was bill o'brien the second man for this job potentially?
03:10
Again, you just tried to do the patriot way with gerard mayo
03:15
And fired him
03:16
Why?
03:17
What gerard mayo was given the worst roster in football half of the season quarterbacks by jacoby brissette?
03:25
won four games he did
03:27
Exactly what we thought he would so why did you hire gerard mayo?
03:33
A former linebacker of the new england patriots to hire mike vrabel a former linebacker of the new england patriots
03:40
If it's because vrabel has prior head coaching experience, then how the heck did gerard mayo get the job?
03:47
That doesn't make any damn sense
