    Conspiracy theory alert;

    JRob listed his #1 requirement for the HC was that they were a "leader of men"

    He did so knowing that Vrabel fit the bill, so that when he hired him he could say that he fit the requirement listed x many days back.

    Vrabel likely JRob's guy from day 1. Or maybe day -30?

    In J Rob I trust. I actually love this move. Vrabel is already very well respected among NFL circles and had some interest from other teams for the HC position. I do wish we would have gone with more of an offensive-minded guy but there are plenty of defensive background HCs that made the right hire and have a nice offense as well. Really, as long as Vrabel and our OC know to build the offense around Mariota's strengths then we should be fine.

    It's a pretty safe bet Vrabel was the top target while everyone else was clamoring for Josh McDaniels (myself included). The only two other guys that were interviews were someone that fits the Rooney Rule and the other that is actually now an OC candidate for us. Vrabel went 3rd and got the job. J-Rob knows very well that Vrabel has been wanting to be a HC and all the buzz out of Houston about him was positive.

    Im with you.

    My point was more on JRob's wording at the presser on Monday.

    He names the #1 reason Mularkey is canned because hes not maximising the players talents, which we all know means Mariota and the Offence. And then he lists his #1 requirement for the next HC to be a "leader of men". Doesn't exactly line up...by all accounts Mularkey was a decent "leader of men".

    Wilks fit that category as well. I was expecting either Wilks or Vrabel. With said, our coach will be a leader as well as the glue that holds everything in place. I feel Vrabel will do well and let the coaches to coach their group. In order for a team to win they need to move as a unit. Our offense got worse while the defense got better. I’m hoping our new staff creates a better balance.
