Black Monday 2022 - NFL Coaching Carousel

Oh I’d not heard that before. That would put me right off someone if they started bragging about themselves on a first meeting. I mean would Flores count as it kind of working ? @Oat23 you make the patriot way should like Kerry GAA supporters or Guinness.

Well I'm claiming Vrabel as a Belichick disciple. He spent 7 years under him and he's become an excellent coach and he worked under Bill O'Brien, a Belichick coach, before becoming a head coach.

I have always felt that when Bill does decide to retire that if one of his son's isn't ready to take over that it'll be Vrabel.

Patriots now being accused of nepotism. Lol, anybody who can't see the Patriots hater is blind

Daboll will be another Patriot Way dumsterfire - and I really do hope that the Raiders hire McDaniels and give him the keys to the car. I would not inflict the petulant child on anyone - but being a Broncos fan - I will always make an exception for the Raiders.

That is only one of a long list of antics that McDisaster got up to.

As for Flores - he was a failure because he wanted to act like the rest of the BB cast-offs and the owner in Miami couldn't tolerate him p*ssing off everyone in the organisation anymore.

If he passed it on to one of his sons then that son is the best person for the job.

As I said also I do believe that it's very likely imo that our next head coach will be Mike Vrabel.

There's no history of nepotism in the Patriots organisation, you can be sure that the Kraft's will be very involved in the process when it does happen.

Bob Kraft has only ever hired two head coaches in his time with the Patriots, those being Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick.

The suggestion of nepotism was never part of my post. I merely figured that one of his sons will be head coach of the Patriots some day when they are ready. Only a fool wouldn't want to give the opportunity to the son of Bill Belichick and grandson of Steve Belichick, two of the greatest minds in the history of the game.

Vrabel said, "I hung up the phone and we didn't talk for probably two years. Retired. Called him and talked about coaching. The relationship kind of picked back up from then, and he's been a great asset to me, my family, and just to help me work through situations. Talk ball. Work through things being a head coach."

But he was with the Patriots for years.

Storm in a tea cup.

They increased the requirement last year - now 2 minority candidates must be interviewed for HC jobs.

It seems they interviewed Leslie Frazier and Pat Graham for the role already. If that's true the Rooney rule is in the bin. It's not a particularly nice thing to do but he ain't getting a payout on this one.

Can't if you name the top 32 coaches who are not head coaches in the NFL?

I'm specifically talking about Belichick's texts.

Are you going to tell us what your last username was? 🙂

I'm all for black men being treated equally but you gotta earn the right to a head coaching job. Daboll has done that and for me him and Bieniemy were the two outstanding candidates for head coaching positions. I say those two because it's turned more and more into an offensive game these last few years.

The next coach in line for a head coaching position is Todd Bowlers. He has to get another shot.

This Rooney rule is stupid. You could interview 20 black men and one white man and still hire the white man. Perfect way for a racist white owner to hide.

The ideal scenario is that everybody ignores skin colour but it's hard to see that happen in the US unfortunately.

The way forward is to give people opportunities to work their way up and earn the right to be a head coach.

The snowflakes want black men who haven't earned the right to be given these jobs ahead of white men who have earned the right. That isn't fair to anybody, the man whose earned the shot should get it and the man who hasn't earned it shouldn't and it'll only make things worse if he gets it and fails.

Flores got a head coaching opportunity and failed. He was fired for taking Tua Tagovailoa over Herbert more than any other reason and to me that's fair enough. Did he earn the opportunity to be a head coach? I'm not sure he did as he was never a co-ordinator. He's a smart guy and he was with the most successful franchise of the last twenty years but I think you need to be a co-ordinator before you are a head coach.

So let's get more black men in as assistants and work their way through the ranks. That way there'll be loads of good candidates for head coaching positions in five years or a little longer.

That's how you change things, not with some stupid rule that you have to interview somebody when you've already decided who you want.

Thats just complete bull and a real snowflake post.

You want it done now which in reality is never going to happen.

I'm giving a solution that you can't stop. Development of black coaches at the NFL level where they get experience and the good ones climb the ladder and have to get head coaching jobs because they've earned it.

This Rooney rule is complete codswallop. It's never changing anything.

I asked everybody to name the thirty two best people who have never been head coaches for those jobs. There wasn't one reply because none of you have a clue.

I named the three best coaches in my opinion, I don't think anybody disagreed with those names, two are black men

, one is white.

I can name who in my opinion are the best 32 candidates and unfortunately there's not many black men on the list.

That's what has to change, more black coaches have to be brought in at the bottom level to work their way up. Solutions aren't instant, it takes time. If they populate the lower ranks of coaching fairly then in something like 5-7 years you'll have a lot more black coaches at the top table in the NFL.

Go tell me where I'm going wrong there.
