Absolutely left. Stud recruiter, top 10 rush D, top 5 in sacks in the country
I'm a Texans fan (from Houston) but it still sucks

Yeah, I could understand that but I'd be more pissed that Fickell and Coombs are still employed. Figured MV would return to the NFL at some point.

Huge blow for a defense and defensive coaching staff that already needed work. He was the best Defensive coach we had. His Dline unit is easily the most exciting heading into the future. Dude was a beast in the NFL and got his players to play extremely hard for him. This is the one change i didnt want to happen on that side of the ball. Everybody else could go, but not him.

Just curious since Kevin Mawae (future NFL HoF?) is interviewing for our OL coach with little previous coaching experience - how much experience coaching did Vrabel have pre-OSU days?

None that I know of. He was a "coach on the field" as Bill B. put it with the Patriots, and he is really close with fickell. When tat-gate went down Fickell reached out to him to help out.
What the kids liked about him was he knew how to talk on their level since he was just out of the league, and the guys knew what he was telling them worked at the highest levels.
I loved Fickell as a LBer coach, so i'm not ready for the pitchforks yet like others are. I want to see vast improvement, but that can come by fire, which it has. Hopefully a full reevaluation happens this offseason and we see positive results

I'm onboard. He did a great job with that D.

according to the rant its basically impossible to be a good former player and coach

I agree with that to an extent, but players that have excelled at every level and seemed to be grounded and understand the big picture within a system are huge assets as Vrabel was and I think Mawae would be. They were all-pro for a good number of years and stuck around the league for a long time.
Plus Mawae played center, I think he would be a great asset.
