Unc & Ocho DEBATE how quickly Mike Vrabel can turn Patriots around | Nightcap

[@lbonts]

I’m a black pats fan, anyone who says mayo shouldn’t have been fired did not watch the games and is not keyed into the local media about what was going on, at most you could say is he was scapegoated by the org for their own failings, but he was brought in to be a culture reset from Bill bc he was a player first guy and somehow the culture was even worse, the whole wr room was openly hostile to him, everyone tuned him out, and bc he was never a play caller he had no other ability to influence games, I feel like I had as much impact on the game watching at home, so he couldn’t do the one thing he was supposed to bring to the table, to the point the Krafts were literally asking other teams for help managing him and the team, it was really really bad and he was clearly in over his head and never should’ve been hired in the first place

The players lacked discipline and as fans you can see there was no accountability for bad play on the field, players weren’t being developed and he was making bad decisions.

Then they were not adjusting the game play according to the game or scenarios. These mistakes were frustrating to watch.

They say " well the salary cap limited what the team could do, they started to really get the culture where they wanted it toward the end, he had a young qb" .

[@brockjensen2473]

Woah there unc, huge difference in what you’re talking about. Mayo didn’t get fired just because the team was bad, he got fired because he lost the locker room. He went into public press conferences time and time again and threw the players and coaching staff under the bus to try covering his own ass. I’m the biggest pats fan on the planet and I couldn’t be more grateful for what Mayo did for us as a player but as a head coach he was terrible. What’s the 1 constant we see across ALL great head coaches? In public press conferences when their team loses they take the blame, when their team wins they credit the team. It’s your job to have that team ready to play week to week. If you don’t think your team is playing hard you address that to your team, you don’t go in a press conference and say “we’re a soft football team”. Well damn, you’re the coach; why is your team looking soft? Because they’re unprepared game to game which is the responsibility of the coach. You want to know the fastest way to lose a teams respect? By not only failing to take responsibility but taking it a step further and publicly putting the blame on others. Shannon I have heard you hundreds of times say you were fine with criticism if a coach went about it the right way. Mayo disrespectfully criticized the entire roster in the worst possible way in attempt to make himself look better. I don’t know unc personally but I know for damn sure if a coach publicly disrespectfully criticized him several times in attempt to save face for himself he woulda lost all respect for that coach. That’s why Jared got fired

Unc just ignoring Cincy will have a new DC. They've devoted the last few drafts on the defense. And there's a draft in a few months when it comes to Tee... Come on man...they supposed to take a 180 on the offensive scheme?

[@GABECAMPBELL]

You say they can’t turn it around. Washington turned in around in one year. Huston turned it around. Vrabel is a proven coach and had the #1 seed with Ryan Tannehill at QB

[@Octavis-o9l]

These ridiculous salaries for WR need to stop, if teams continue down this path NFL teams won’t have a roster longevity. Putting all your money into one stock is foolish and reckless behavior.

[@kerryboyd5037]

Mr. Kraft has SADENLY turned into the NEW Jerry Jones.

[@Semajmoore-z8q]

When my homie big Red Andy Ried went to Kansas City Chiefs he turned that team completely around. They had One win the season before he got there so a Good New head coach can make a very Big difference 😁👍🏽.

[@deanburrows8355]

Not the same players as the previoua year, try again.

[@ka74]

Mayo wasn't prepared (his issue) to perform in the role. Maye is a legit starter and can grow into a good QB - athletic, good arm, smart, competitive. Get a legit LT, a legit #1 WR and more depth at DT / OL and this is a team that can make the playoffs. Over the next 2 years, add more CB/OL/DL/WR skill positions and this can be a good team for the next 3-5 years and compete for a Lombardi.

[@tonymcclendon3128]

Ocho said 200 million for Tee

[@darkdavey]

Calling Bill on his Patricia OC shit and RUINING Mac Jones, Finally. Earned my sub

[@jgadventures4161]

Mayo is an all time favorite player for me but he needs to be a defense coach and learn the job the pats didn't make the right call hiring him

[@jesuslikesmetal]

I would really like to see Josh return as OC

[@crispy84]

Commanders just turned around from 4 wins to what they did this season Ocho smh

[@paulonikit]

Mayo’s lack of accountability was his doom.

[@kc2pro]

They fired the HC to get Vrabel. Did they interview anyone else?

[@LeetraviusMcKay-q6m]

Also Mike Varbel has coaching experience from his time with the Titans.

[@deanburrows8355]

What was his record??

[@bigjack79]

Mayo wasn’t fired because of his record. He loss the locker room. Come on night cap, if I’m able to get this information from the few people that I know, I know you all know it. But I get it. You don’t want to damage his reputation.

[@devin9522]

Let’s see how many losing seasons Vrabel will get to endure 😂😂😂

[@CJfromMEXICO]

1 or none, we have the foundation but need the supporting cast. we got the most freed up salary cap and the 4th pick in the draft

[@benjaminwilliams8283]

I love Chad drinking out the brown paper bag. Can we get him a drink deal call brown paper bag brandy?

[@ESTxxThorr]

I don’t think people understand giving a coach 1 year isn’t fair regardless of race, We knew the patriots weren’t a good team and Mayo was used by the organization simple as that, so hell yeah if Vrabel doesn’t win 5 or more games, He should be gone

[@iCruzPR]

commanders turned it around that fast this year alone. Cinco just be talking

[@markburn4943]

If that's who they wanted to begin with they should not have wasted that black man's time

[@kazzd58]

He got paid though 🤷🏾‍♂️ it’s how it goes

[@zackhurwitz9441]

They had a written contract to hire Mayo after Belichick was fired.

[@shadow_td]

Boohoo he's getting paid millions foe the next 3 years... What a horrible tragedy

[@nvmm166]

They also gave an opportunity to a black man…. And will pay him for the next two years for doing nothing😂😂😂😂 there’s a reason you don’t understand what’s going on😂😂😂

[@donsulli2439]

You were there?​@@zackhurwitz9441

[@MrExoticDemon]

Wait Tank Dell was a 2nd or 3rd rounder. Nico literally hasn’t been anything his whole career. Dalton shows flashes of being good and then disappears. Let’s not do that Stroud had weapons

[@asahthavoice]

@@MrExoticDemon they always do when it comes to blk Qbs.

[@PrincejayFit]

2nd and 3rd rounders can’t be good players????? This ain’t the nba

[@LeetraviusMcKay-q6m]

The Patriots had a great run from 2000-2019 22 division titles 11 conference championships 9 Super Bowl appearances 6 Super Bowl wins They need to move on and start a new era.

[@michaelroelant7134]

There are a lot of teams who wants a dynasty atm chiefs are good but can they contain it?pats were great i´m pats anx cards fan😮

[@hisstoryblack8270]

Mayo was let go because it was a mistake to hire him in the first place

[@BadmanMC407]

Ocho cant hide how much he dont like that drink lol I dont blame him

[@donscoopez3942]

He’s never turned a franchise around at head coach wtf are we talking about here 🤣🤣🤣

[@lhamarurbina9549]

Does Ocho know who Mike Vrable is? Has Ocho watched the Titans since Vrable’s been gone? Does Ocho know that Vrable was a coach of the year?

[@jonfromsyracuse]

Jerod Mayo got fired because the team looked exponentially worse after 17 games - the team didn’t look better.

[@sheloveyaboix8008]

Us drafted dumb last yr getting two QBs 2Wrs 1TE only good in it was the two QBs

[@HardCold-Alquan]

If Chad gives me a blank check, he will really be down to ocho cinco!

[@toddwinegar7365]

Titans fan here. I haven't watched a game since we fired Coach Vrabel! Our front office doesn't know what they are doing! We have became a joke of an organization! I know many other Titan fans whom feel the same way I do! It's just one bad move after another! They don't know how to build a team, I bet we end up with a top 3 pick next year as well. I fear there is no Jayden Daniel's or CJ Stroud in this draft. Heck there isn't even a Caleb Williams or Drake May in this class. Watch we will rake a QB at 1, instead of doing anything smart or strategic with it! We just pick whomever looks best at the combine /pro day! How did it come to this?

[@DONOVANSHANNON-m8f]

Tunsill made the Pro Bowl again this year Unc

[@antcantcook960]

Vrabel has 2 playoff wins, what exactly are we supposed to be excited about?

[@WizCiva]

What’s that Ocho drinking out of that brown paper bag??
