No.Is this Olsen related to Merle Olsen the former Ram player?

Thank You.
@ the Redskins.
They're probably going to have him mentor Vrabel as Crennel gets old. His health can't be too good either being that massively overweight. Seems like a smart plan. Really wish we had Houston's coaching staffI know the Texans like Vrabel a lot. The Chronicle says Crennel's new title is assistant head coach. I don't think I can remember anyone just being an assistant head coach before.
Very interesting, but I'm not sure if you take the risk if you are the Falcons. They already have an elite team. Why potentially mess it up with a wildcard like Kelly? I think they'd be better off giving someone like Norv Turner a call.Report: Chip Kelly could replace Kyle Shanahan in Atlanta

Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan is slated for a second interview with the 49ers about their head coaching job this week and the expectation around the league is that he will wind up taking the job.
That would leave the Falcons in need of a new offensive coordinator and Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reported on Sunday that the team has lined up three candidates to take the job, including the man Shanahan would be replacing with the 49ers. Glazer reports that Chip Kelly is one of the potential additions to Dan Quinn’s staff.
Glazer reported that Kelly would consider a coordinator position shortly after he was fired by the 49ers and he interviewed with the Jaguars earlier this month before Jacksonville decided to keep Nathaniel Hackett as the offensive coordinator on a permanent basis. He also reportedly met with Patriots coach Bill Belichick recently, although there’s been no word about whether there was a discussion about joining the staff.
Shanahan is eligible to speak to the 49ers this week whether the Falcons win or lose, but would only be moving on to the 49ers immediately if the Packers are moving on to the Super Bowl.
I think they are looking for an innovative spread type guy rather than someone like Turner. They have a very explosive O if things are designed right. Brad Childress might be another one they look at.Very interesting, but I'm not sure if you take the risk if you are the Falcons. They already have an elite team.

It was not the defense's fault that I can tell, but you knew a scapegoat firing was coming. He was just the lowest hanging fruit.The Falcons defense played as well as they could've hoped for the vast majority of that game, and their pass rush was getting to Brady consistently. Their offense was on the field for a historically low amount of snaps and the defense was hung out to dry, forced to play 90+ snaps.
Is it the defense's fault that Freeman couldn't pick up a blitz, and then Ryan fumbled giving the Pats the ball around the Falcons 35 in the 4th quarter?
Is it the defense's fault that their dickhead coach/OC pissed away 3 points that would've iced the game with less than 4 minutes left?
This is nothing but a reactionary move, probably because the owner wants a pound of flesh.
I said it the night of the game, this type of loss will haunt them for a while and I don't think they'll make the playoffs coming off that type of loss and with all this turnover on the coaching staff. It may take them until 2018 before they bounce back.

Supposedly Quinn took control of their D late in the season and they showed improvement. That's the word anyways.It was not the defense's fault that I can tell, but you knew a scapegoat firing was coming. He was just the lowest hanging fruit.
