If Vrabel is the guy, are the Pats making a mistake interviewing Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn?

Do you want Vrabel as Patriots HC? If Vrabel is the guy, are the Pats making a mistake interviewing Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn?

Transcript

00:00Mike Vrabel somewhere right now in a suit with a resume is walking into an interview location and

00:09ready to make his case when it comes to being the next head coach of the New England Patriots. So

00:14we'll keep you up to date on that. Of course, I wonder if he's the guy and they've already decided

00:21that he's the guy, is it a mistake to get it out there that you're gonna have a virtual interview

00:29with Ben Johnson tomorrow? Or does that delay your announcement? Does that delay getting started

00:35on all the stuff you want to get started on? Yeah, I'm like, it's just a sham. If you know

00:41he's the guy, give him the job, let's get rolling and then let's start figuring out

00:45who's gonna be his OC, who's gonna be the GM, how much say is he gonna have? Let's just get

00:53the business that way rather than rolling out these sham interviews with a guy like Ben Johnson

01:00that you know you're not gonna hire. You're just wasting everybody's time. Well, it's not only that

01:05one tomorrow, but there's another interview scheduled for next week, I think. With Aaron

01:12Glenn? Yeah, I think Aaron Glenn's scheduled for Saturday. Okay, all right. So you're gonna have to,

01:18I'm assuming, go through the pomp and circumstance of having those interviews and then you don't get

01:24any announcement about Vrabel and he can't start until you've done those interviews and

01:30I mean, I just really hope they don't overshadow Fenway Fest because that is gonna be a banger.

01:36It's just a waste of time. I just hope they do and I hope by tomorrow we're talking about,

01:41you know, Vrabel, the next head coach of the job. He will be, there's no way. I mean, I guess

01:46theoretically everything goes swimmingly today. Then they could cancel those interviews and is

01:51there... I just don't think you cancel on Ben Johnson. I just don't, I don't think it's smart.

01:55Like you need to at least talk to him. You need to hear what other smart offensive people are

01:59gonna say around football and like what their plan would be for Drake May so you have any kind

02:03of an idea of what you should be doing going forward. But do you think Ben Johnson is looking

02:07at it like, all right, this is a real interview for me? Don't you think he has the whispers of

02:12oh, his agent... I mean, he had to accept it so he must think it's real.

02:15Yeah, he wouldn't take it if he didn't. It must be a destination that he desires

02:21or an opportunity that he desires. Or is his agent telling him, hey, listen,

02:25the more teams that are interested in you, the better package we'll be able to get from the

02:32teams that really want you. If you're a hot commodity. This is the guy last year who was

02:36so picky. He called, he texted the commanders as they were on a private jet flying to interview

02:42him that he's like, nah, I don't want to interview with you guys anymore. Have a nice day. Like this

02:45guy is insanely picky. He specifically chose the New England Patriots as a place he wanted

02:50to interview with. They're going to take the interview. Also, how do you feel about those

02:57that argue that Mike Rabel was not that successful as a head coach?

03:00I mean, he took a team to the AFC Championship. Correct. But then like Ninkovich keeps texting

03:07you and I all the time and talking about how that team was a playoff team before Rabel got there.

03:12Yeah, they were. They had lost and I believe it was the divisional round or they made it to the

03:16divisional round. My biggest concern is I'm kind of on Shyam's page and I said that was my lead

03:24this morning. Who's your OC? Cause I don't want Arthur Smith. Who does Mike? That's why I want

03:30you to hire him. So I know who you're hiring and who's going to be taking Drake made it at next

03:36level.
