Jets interviewing Mike Vrabel today

[Gregg]

Zack Rosenblatt on X: "The #Jets will interview Mike Vrabel at the facility today. Over the last five months, I spent extensive time with Vrabel as he worked for the Browns. He reflected on his Titans tenure — and opened up about what he wants next. Inside his “gap year”: https://t.co/zUXIVRrdoV" / X

I’d very much prefer they don’t hire him.

 

Every coach had faults and he is not immune to that, but his teams were always physical and played hard. 

[Slippery Rubber Mats]

I'd prefer they hire someone else

[buffaloboyinATL]

Agreed. He is one of the few coaches that I do not want them to hire. 

[DapperCam]

I think he’s a good coach and Tennessee were dumb to fire him.

Don’t worry; his Madden score sucks.

Vrabel has always scared me.  I hope the Jets go a different direction.

 I think Vrabel would be a solid choice. I don't have confidence that Woody Johnson will make a solid choice. 

 

Honestly, I'm betting before it's all said and done, Jon Gruden is the hire. Woody likes splashy names.

Vrabel would be nuts to accept that job.  Its not set up well at all with a terrible owner.  

 

I would think he would have other options that would be more appealing (and in divisions without Josh Allen)

Who really wants that job?  I mean Vrabel could be a good hire, but how likely is he to succeed with that ownership in place and how much he meddles in things?

Vrabel in some sense is like McDermott.  He has struggled to get his team over the top...Always solid and very good in the regular season...they could beat any team..but then always choked in the playoffs (2-3 record)

[Warriorspikes51]

Go hire Ron Rivera please

Dov Kleiman on X: "Multiple NFL sources believe that Mike Vrabel is the top coaching candidate for the #Jets, per @Connor_J_Hughes Vrabel is the coaching candidate that "the Jets covet the most." https://t.co/bJKgnH6rP6" / X

He’s actually a good coach, and had a bad GM.  He also restores order and discipline and that is sorely needed in NJ.  He’ll have to contend with a meddling goofball for an owner.

His Titans teams definitely get to a SB if you swap Tannehill for Allen.

 

Belichick loathes the NYJ organization. Hopefully he gets in Vrabel's ear about that and dissuades him from going there.

He would never be able to work under woody or coach rodgers. I think he’s interviewing there so his agent can float these reports and get him interviewed quickly next week by a team he actually wants. This is the worst job out there and everyone knows it. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him end up with the Raiders.

[Yobogoya!]

This would actually be a pretty good hire by them.

[Alphadawg7]

Jon Gruden is also a serious candidate for the Jets and multiple teams.  He’s gonna be back this year or next.
