Talking about the issue is difficult and sometimes tiresome. With every conversation of structural bias, this kind of response comes up even if it is well-reasoned and intentioned. I didn’t like the Mayo hire and Vrabel will likely be a better HC. The deck is still stacked against non-white coaches.

More insight pouring in from league sources on Vrabel from me and @dougkyed.bsky.social.

Updated with different sources who worked with Vrabel in Cleveland and Tennessee: www.bostonherald.com/2025/01/12/b...

This was inβ€”my opinionβ€”the best head coaching job. Vrabel has a QB and a long runway to improve.

If Jerry had any real interest in moving on from McCarthy, it should have been after that loss 365 days ago.
Vrabel, Belichick, and Dan Quinn were all available for him to talk to.

Been in L.A. for two years and I still miss New York, but I will admit that when someone in L.A. says they had a magical experience it’s like locking eyes with a coyote under a full moon and when someone in New York says it they mean they witnessed a guy dressed as Ant-Man get kicked by a cop horse.

Coming home: The #Patriots are hiring Mike Vrabel as their head coach, sources tell The Insiders.

Vrabel played eight seasons in New England and won three Super Bowls. Now, he’s back to usher in a new era.

Very grateful I left X two years before this wildfire and never used Facebook or Threads for news.

It’s clear which of my friends still use X by how crazed they are by the bullshit right wingers are spewing. Misinformation is actively harming people who are grieving and also disaster efforts.

Thank You to Canada and Mexico Bless you.

California’s on fire, and while the GOP is busy blaming DEI and concocting conspiracies, Canada and Mexico are busy saving lives.

One of the worst things in sports is when there's a doink and then all the replays after the missed field goal don't have the doink sound again
