Also, when Ran Carthon was apparently the frontrunner for the GM job, Vrabel suggested to Strunk that he didn't think Ran was ready for the gig and that Ran would be better suited as an assistant GM.  He also espoused his preference for Ryan Cowden, then VP of player personnel and now working for the Giants, to get the job.  She didn't take kindly to that.

At the risk of offending our female contributors on the board, I don't believe most men in Strunk's position would be offended by an established, well regarded coach voicing an opinion on the GM search.  (though I guess we do have our share of crybabies on the male side i.e. Tepper) I have to wonder if she has a bit of a chip on her shoulder.

Amy Adams Strunk looks just like every woman from Tennessee I've ever seen. Just saying.

Looks like she took "it's not like this everywhere" from his Patriots speech to heart.

I mean, cmon, pretty much anywhere is better than Tennessee

Yeah apparently she did take it to heart.  There's a difference between saying "it's not like this everywhere" and "it's not like this anywhere" though.  The sensitivity meter must be on high to take offense to a guy who has connections to an organization which had an unprecedented run during and after his time there saying what Vrabel said.  I'm not saying there's no wiggle room for someone to interpret it the way Strunk interpreted it, I just think it's more suited for those that look to find offense in things of which there are many.  

Maybe Vrabel knew she was a bit on the sensitive side and knew what he was doing saying it hoping to get fired.  Maybe he realized he didn't want to work for her, but also didn't want to resign and forfeit any guaranteed money he had coming.  That might explain the F-bomb he dropped in his presser the week prior too.  Kinda Ramsey-esque.  If so, well played on his part, but who knows.
