That great search party they assembled really blew it. Part of me wonders if they put all their basket into the Ben Johnson sweepstake and had no backup plan when he declined. -
All the HC vacancies are filled now. Belichick, Carroll and Vrabel are without teams. Surprising given their records. 2 are Super Bowl winners and 1 with a claim to be the 🐐.
sone odd choices, especially in Carolina.
Harbaugh is the best choice for us. A proven winner but still young enough to have a good decade ahead of him.Comment

Chargers got the best coaching hire of the offseason and its not even closeOriginally posted by jamrock View Post
As for Vrabel - have zero idea why teams didn't want him. I think part of it is that GMs wanted to have control and Vrabel probably wants his say in the process
I think he is one of the top coaches - meaning taking a roster and maximizing the roster. Doesn't need a "type" - just sees what he has and coaches those players up. Like Sean Payton seemed to want Wilson to do things he wanted a QB to do and not maximize Wilsons skillset.Comment

Good take. They made a splash with Adam Peters and the new ownership group and then hired the equivalent of Norv from the defensive side of the ball.Originally posted by Xenos View PostComment

Just glad the Chargers got Harbaugh and if reports are true, Vrabel was their second choice.Originally posted by jamrock View PostComment

Glad we never had to entertain Vrabel as a second choice. There’s a reason every team locked him out this coaching cycle.Originally posted by Bolt4Knob View PostComment

Boomer Esiason came out right after the chargers hired Harbaugh and said, so? "the commanders are still getting the best coach in this hiring cycle, ben johnson". LOL, I don't think Boomer knew that Johnson only wanted to leave Detroit for the Chargers, he's waiting for an opportunity that already has an established QB and I can't say I blame the guy...Originally posted by Xenos View Post"The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

I think he wanted too much power probably. He is pretty head strong.Originally posted by Xenos View PostComment

it's true, he wants the same treatment that Harbaugh is getting, but I don't think he's as good of a coach or as connected like Jim is...Originally posted by Xenos View Post"The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

Vrabel is the CEO type of HC. All other coaches hired were coordinator types, except Pierce and Mayo, and probably will call their own plays. I think the potential price tag for Vrabel was too high for most teams, and GMs would have to cede personnel control to him.Originally posted by Xenos View PostComment

Yeah, it’s the Belichick effect even though he was only a player under Bill and not a HC. He also sucks as a playcaller which is why it always surprises me when people say he could just be DC for a year.Originally posted by Bolt4Knob View PostComment

I think we’re the other exception since Harbaugh doesn’t call plays also.Originally posted by Bolt-O View PostComment
