‘McDermott and Vrabel do have a good relationship, but I’d be surprised if that happens. The main reason is Vrabel would likely want to come to a team that gives him total control over the defense – if he were even willing to serve as a defensive coordinator. He wouldn’t have that under McDermott in Buffalo. If Vrabel doesn’t get a head-coaching job – openings remain in Seattle and Washington – I could see him working in TV for a year and then trying again when the 2025 hiring cycle starts.’
