FRT Posted January 9, 2024 Report Share Posted January 9, 2024 Just looking for some (not full) transparency coming out of this organization with the fans. Has been sorely lacking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted January 9, 2024 Report Share Posted January 9, 2024 So it appears that the "collab" that AAS envisioned was just placating Vrabel who wanted full control. He tried to take over even under direction to collab. He failed. Then he got the BBC. I'm with it. I was definitely wrong about Vrabel for too long.

Has been sorely lacking I think we'll get it. Ran seems like a man of the people, oddly like Jrob in that respect. The difference is that Ran does it because he likes people and they like him. Jrob did it for attention. I wonder if Ran's silence was encouraged by Vrabel? Maybe he pointed out that he didn't want a gym taking the spotlight over the team like Jrob did. Looks like he didn't think a "GM" should take his credit, in retrospect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans279 Posted January 9, 2024 Report Share Posted January 9, 2024 What about the KC guys? Ran hadn't been hired (but had interviewed) when their names leaked as possible OC interviews last year so maybe it had nothing do do with him. Maybe those guys came up because AAS suggested Vrabel look outside his box for candidates. Seems like a big possibility to me now that he's been fired. I think something akin to the Mularkey situation happened. Vrabel probably would have needed to make a lot of changes to his staff to stay the HC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson was a man of the people? He was a fat fuck scout that started out blubbering at his first presser and then near the end at the Combine. He's due to be cannonballing in a Bass Pro Shop any day now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had sort of a rags to riches story from the sticks, and wearing his emotions was quaint at first because we spent so much time with Webster and the Adams Mafia. He did turn into a fool, but he was a man of the people first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In charge of the coaching search doesn't necessarily mean that he makes the final decision. He might, but he might not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepingTitan Posted January 9, 2024 Report Share Posted January 9, 2024 Ran will look for an offensive minded, passing attack coach. His college years were under Steve Spurrier and Ron Zook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
