Stop being a idiot, he isnt going to step in and strip that responsibility in season during year one. Crennel was already trying to pass the torch (He's 71 yo), he wasn't trying to have to step back in during the season. Vrabel was going to get his chance to sink or swim..he sunk, but your braintrust still pulled him out of the water regardless. A decision I still don't understand, seriously tell me what this guy had on his resume that warranted a shot at a HCing job? Especially after last season.

As far as O'Brien, why the hell are you even bringing him up.. He doesn't coach defense. But if you do want to compare the two as to the type of influence a head coach will have on his side of the ball.. O'Brien fired our offensive coordinator after 2016 and took total control which is why we don't have a O.C. now. Vrabel is going to have input on that side of the ball as well..especially since this is his first HC job and he tries to prove himself.

So romeo and obrien were twiddling thumbs then?

For the most part Crennel was.. they slapped him with a job title and he took a back seat to let Vrabel run the defense.. Crennel wasn't even on the sidelines with the team on game days.

O'Brien wasn't..like I said, he ran the offense..his side of the ball. AGAIN, he's not a defensive coach.

Also you didn't answer my question.. what on Vrabel's resume warranted him a shot at a HC job?
