NashvilleNinja Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Just now, tgo said: It's not, but what could make it better would be to add a senior defensive assistant like Crennel or even Patricia. Idk how much better that'd make it. If the guy you're hiring to be the DC needs training wheels then maybe he's not cut out to be a DC. So long as Vrabel's methods net positive results then great, but I'm startin not to like him... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Vrabel was sort’ve a surprise because we won our wild card game & then fire Mularkey a day or two after the divisional round. So Butler was gone before Vrabel even had an interview. Mike Vrabel was hired on January 20, John Butler was hired by Buffalo on January 30. I had been monitoring Butler as a potential DC for Vrabel but then he skipped town on Houston and made a lateral move to Buffalo. That said - maybe there is a connection to Buffalo that is unknown or another reason, such as Vrabel really wanting Coombs on his staff. So I'm not saying he isn't an option - it's certainly possible but just pointing out that there may be a reason Vrabel hasn't hired him already. Kind of like with Weaver even though they coached together. Edited January 22, 2021 by tgo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense was absolutely atrocious this year. How the fuck is giving him the title of DC going to magically make it better? It’s amazing. Straight up nepotism if he gets this role. In what world is he the best candidate for DC? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BudsOilers Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 IMO it's going to be Bowen formally being the DC with Crennel being added as a Consultant or AHC...... japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the interview live and my impression was that he wanted to come back but didn't know if the Titans wanted him. In fact, I think he was interviewed twice and left it open to return here both times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it live as well, and to me it sounded like cold water, which is why I had never really suggested he could come back. His son is coaching with him in Atlanta, and that wouldn't have been a possibility here either. Edited January 22, 2021 by tgo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the shitty teams lit us up last season. The only reason we made the playoffs was we outscored them and now our OC is gone.

They wouldn't have wanted to bring Pees in as a consultant if the hire was going to be Crennel, imo. I still think Crennel could be brought in as a senior assistant though. But most likely Bowen will be the DC, unless there's someone else out of left field that we haven't heard about. Or maybe Patricia, because he worked closely with Pees for years as well. As soon as the news dropped we talked to him it was obvious they didn’t want him as a DC. The idea was to bring him as a consultant. If we don’t get Crennel on board as a senior consultant, which is what he’ll be offered, then it’s the Vrabel show redux.
