Glad for Mayo and maybe it will work, but yeah, hard to pass on Vrabel. Can't believe the Titans let him walk and now New England is passing on him, too? Good year to be hiring. Falcons need to open up the checkbook and secure Vrabel.

Vrabel is a “vibes” type of coach. Players love him and play hard for him, but the X’s and O’s are not his strong suit. He needs good coordinators to be successful. Titans let him go because he wanted total control of the team, and I don’t blame the ownership for refusing, he simply hadn’t earned that level of power.
Personally, I think the Chargers are the best fit for him. He and Justin Herbert could be a match made in heaven. Not sure about the Falcons. I see many of the same problems there he had in TN.
Ultimately, his problem in Tennessee was the players aren't that good, IMO. I don't think anybody was looking at any of his teams like they were supposed to make a deep run. He won 6 out of every 11 games with Tanneyhill, Mariota, and even worse QB's than that.
He definitely needs to hire good coordinators, but every coach has some kind of weakness to overcome. If you have great players + Vrabel, it's gonna be a good result.
