J Fowler ESPN Quinn's second meeting with the Seahawks on Thursday went well into the night

[TequilaCowboy]

Really wish there was a rule in place so that coaches couldn't hold teams hostage like this... If he leaves there's not that many candidates left. There needs to be certain time frame when coaches can be hired so stuff like this settles quickly. Sort of like free agency for players, but for coaches.

I don't think there needs to be a rule....Jerry just needs to do his freaking job. He wants to straddle the fence with either keeping him or firing him. If he has allowed DQ to interview then he obviously has little confidence in him. He even allowed interviews prior to the WC game. So he needs to grow a pair and fire his arse, and look for your DC.

If Quinn gets the job in Seattle I wouldn't mind bringing in Vrabel if he was willing to be the DC.

I think his toughness would translate, a lot like Dan Campbell.

Vrabel is still being paid his HC salary with Tennessee. He is in a position to wait and see if an appealing position he wants to pursue materializes. Similar to what Pederson did when Philly moved on from him with a year left on his contract.

If dan would wear a duck suit with one broken wing I think he could get the job. Nevermind, it's because he worked for jerry. He'll never get an HC job ever. thanks, jerry.

Im actually surprised Seattle or Washington are not considering Vrabel, the guy had 4 winning seasons out of 6. He even took the Titans to a championship game

 

[Tabascocat]

This isn’t positive news guys, he evidently roasted the marshmallows wrong or he would have been hired

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Could Vrabel be our DC?

 

[rocknrobcowboy]

Went well into the night..Well Then..Talking H*nky P*nky..​

 

[Zman5]

They were sleepless in Seattle.

 

[Rockport]

You must have blocked it out. Before the playoff game, very very few people wanted Quinn leaving

Well, I wasn’t one of them

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Interesting read for Vrabel fans........maybe this explains why he's still out there


Notice only 2/3 teams bothered to interview him. It appears he is being blackballed after losing a power struggle with the Titans' GM. Either way...
* Perhaps he's not as good as many fans/media thought
* He was never replacing Belichick as the Pats HC ( some media outlets reported )
* Unless he cleans up the damage, getting back into the HC hiring cycle may not be easy. Think about it, no GM will consider hiring you if they think you will come after their job.

Ran Carthon throws shade at Mike Vrabel while introducing new Titans coach​

By Michael Gallagher | Last updated 1/26/24


Despite weeks of downplaying the mere suggestion that Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon and former head coach Mike Vrabel weren’t on the same page about how best to build the team’s roster, it’s now becoming apparent there was, in fact, truth to the reports.
24 hours after Tennessee announced the hire of new head coach Brian Callahan and controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk issued an emphatic statement that Carthon was in charge, the 42-year-old executive seemingly took a shot at Vrabel while introducing Callahan to local media for the first time.

“One thing we keep talking about here with our group is hunting at the same time isn’t the same as hunting together,” Carthon said. “And under Brian Callahan, we will be going out and hunting together.”

I'd be amazed if he gets a H.C. gig anywhere. I just don't see it..

 

[Captain-Crash]

I don't know why you guys are hating on Dan. Remember it's all Jerry's fault, or does that just work for the players?

 

[Typhus]

Imo, Vrabel is the best of the lot .

Quinn has always failed on the biggest stages throughout his career.

I would be shocked if Seattle hired Q.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I think he's this close to getting the Seahawks job but their GM just wanna complete his process of talking with a couple more coordinators in the playoffs.

I think it's likely that they had their sights set on DQ, but the playoff game forced them to slow down a bit for the sake of appearances. No fanbase would've been excited to hire Quinn after that blowout.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Seattle is just playing the waiting game and hoping Baltimore loses this weekend, so they can finally conduct a formal interview with MacDonald and hire him. I gotta believe Seattle would've already hired Quinn IF he was their guy. The decision makers there already know him from his tenure as an assistant.

 

[DuncanIso]

Big Mike hoping DQ leaves.

He was gonna take his job one day.

Big Mike has Nolan on speed dial.

Whose ready for Nolan redux?

I don’t think Jerry put the defensive scheme and game plan together. Dan is a fraud and needs to go.
He was good in Seattle with Carroll overseeing his scheme and game plans.
