  • End of an era, it’s still possible belichik won’t be the patriots coach next season too - I gotta think they are thinking pretty hard about Vrabel - maybe wanting to test the trade market though.

    Bear Bryant. Gene Stallings and then a few shit coach's. Nick Saben 6 nati's. who is gonna want to follow that up ?

    Oregon's Dan Lanning and Clemson's Dabo Swinney are two possibilities. 

    I don't see Alabama fading into mediocrity anytime soon.

    Schools like Alabama and Ohio State recruit themselves.  Regardless of who the coach is...  Any four star recruit with NFL ambitions is (usually) going to want to play there. They have the luxury of turning away top tier talent. Look no farther than Joe Burrow, who was riding the bench at Ohio State, transferred and won a National Championship at LSU.

    Hoodie now heading south? To Atlanta next year?  If Vrabel doesn't get the Patriots job, he's going to be a head coach somewhere this coming season.

    Like I said before, the last thing Ryan Day at Ohio State needs is an unemployed Mike Vrabel for the next year or so.

    Does anyone think that Bill Belichik is now a different coach than he ever was?  For spite he held a player out of the super bowl and subsequently lost the game.  He cut Bernie Kosar to put in Todd Philcox.  He's a pig-headed a-hole.  But he's got a good mind for the defensive side of the ball.  The trouble is, he's too huge in stature to be anything but a HC.

    At the end of the day, he's 71 years old. 

    He's a short-term rental at this point. The only way I'm hiring him is if my team was a ready-made Super Bowl contender missing a good head coach. Can't think of many really good mid 70s NFL head coaches.

    ...and does he come as a package deal with the two other Belichick Patriots coaches also?  (Steve & Brian)

    Could be called a poor coaching decision.

    Dwayne Haskins threw for 4831 yards, 50 touchdowns vs 8 interceptions in 2018.

    Justin Fields threw for 41 touchdowns vs 3 interceptions in 2019, and ran for nearly 500 yards with another 10 touchdowns. 

    It sucks Ohio State missed out on Burrow's fantastic senior year, but it was the only really good season he had in college football, while Haskins and Fields did the above as a sophomores. 

    Hoorta's got an excellent point.

    I understand.  It could still be called a poor coaching decision.  It's not Burrows fault he didn't play those other years.  If he had, could his numbers have been similar or better?  Based on what has happened at the NFL level, it fair to speculate he would have played as well or better .

  • Quite certain, won't see another coaching purge like the present.

Saban's replacement, Washington Huskies HC Kalen DeBoer was announced HC of Alabama on Friday 

    Thursday morning, the New England Patriots and coach Bill Belichick agreed to part ways, ending their 24-year run that included six Super Bowl championships. Jarod Mayo was pre-contracted to replace BB & announced HC Friday of Patriots

    I wonder if the timing of that Green Bay beatdown of Dan Quinn's defense is going to keep him from getting a HC job.  On a similar note, I hope our ill-timed defensive collapse vrs Houston helps to keep Schwartz in Cleveland where he belongs for at least 1 more year.

    Hope the media learned from the Browns & Dallas top stat rankings, that paper means very little.. Coaching, preparing, equal talent torched that stat ranking paper ?

    Like Dan Quinn rebuilding back in Seattle vs 49'ers Shanahan for good rival vibes.. Berry/Stef would be wise to retain Jim Schwartz as DC given defenses improvements. Schwartz knows more than any newbie what personal to take into next season. I'd be angry if Jim moves on to another DC job ?
