I thought he did a pretty good job with the Titans considering what he had at QB.Am I the only one not overly impressed with Vrabel, even just as a DC?
I get the toughness vibes that people are enamored with, but I don't get a sense that he's particularly impressive with Xs and Os.
He did significantly more in Tennessee with significantly less than McCarthy has had in Dallas so far.What in the world makes you think he'd be a better HC than McCarthy?

That's very fair.He's coming off of 6 and 7 win seasons, and has exactly 2 double digit win seasons in 6 years and a 2-3 playoff record. Out side of their one season run, he is 0-2 in the playoffs, including winless playoffs in 11 & 12 win seasons (which we're currently eviscerating McCarthy for by the way).
Why? What has he done as a HC that is so great? Really?Bull fucking shit.
If he's actually a possibility he's a clear number one. Hell, I'd take him as HC over McCarthy right now.
No.Am I the only one not overly impressed with Vrabel, even just as a DC?
I get it but I think you have to look at his results on a curve considering at full strength Tannehill was their QB, a guy who is barely even an average starter, and over the last two years he's missed a significant number of games while they've started rookies.Yeah, I don't know about that (see my above post on Vrabel). I'm not impressed.
He made an AFCC and was the 1 seed in another year with Ryan Tannehill playing QB.Why? What has he done as a HC that is so great? Really?
He has had arguably the best RB in the league for most of his coaching career and a pretty decent defense and hasn't won anything. Got 12 wins and an early playoff exit once, tho. Sound familiar?
Maybe it was his starting 7-3 this year then dropping the final 7 games to miss the playoffs that makes him so enticing.
I am sure he is.
Drop Derrick Henry in Dallas a few years ago and I bet you'd have seen the NFCC and Superbowl in Dallas, too.Drop Dak Prescott in Tennessee in 2019 and I'm pretty sure Vrabel would've made it to a SB, or at least gotten to 1-2 more AFCC's than he did.
The Ernster was a nobody once. Now look at him.Ok, who is this "Dallas Sports Fan" guy? With the "DaktoCD88" X handle, he's gotta be relatively new, no?
Good for him. He caught lightning in a bottle one year with an elite running game and defense. Then.... nothing.He made an AFCC and was the 1 seed in another year with Ryan Tannehill playing QB.
Eh.I thought he did a pretty good job with the Titans considering what he had at QB.

It's very possible he's no better than McCarthy... but then, I like McCarthy and think he's done a good job here.Why? What has he done as a HC that is so great? Really?

Probably not.Drop Derrick Henry in Dallas a few years ago and I bet you'd have seen the NFCC and Superbowl in Dallas, too.
Maybe if he was a QB whisperer type you could blame him but ultimately talent acquisition is on the front office, and especially when you have a coach with a defensive background.If a HC has had 6 years and didn't come up with a viable QB in all that time that's kind of on him at that point. I can't grade on a curve after 6 seasons. At some point you are what you are.
Your point about Dak, I don't think I believe that given how Dak has tended to perform in the postseason so far.
