Seems...I bet kraft is shtting his diapers right now. They could have brought vrabel home and at a major discount too. Instead they get a dude who will be back to coaching line backers in 3 seasons.
Unfreaking believable.
Do you think an owner is willing to wait the three years necessary for him to get them?15 wins to be the winningest NFL coach ever is a pretty good legacy.

Does he want to coach still? Tom Brady comeback?I think some owner will hire him and it won't take 3 years.
Just 2.
And, the record books won't mention that it took 3-4 seasons from his time at NE to get there.15 wins to be the winningest NFL coach ever is a pretty good legacy.

This is all the evidence one could ever need that evalauting coaches purely by their win-loss record is easy arithmetic but hazardous as an evaluation/decision-making process.Belichick was 36-44 with the Browns and 34-49 without Tom Brady at the Patriots. He is a sub-.500 coach without lucking into the greatest QB of all time. The NFL's version of Jimbo Fisher and Jameis Winston.
You’ve gotta give him credit for the Brady era. He’s the one that made most of their roster decisions and coached/developed the players.This is all the evidence one could ever need that evalauting coaches purely by their win-loss record is easy arithmatic but hazardous as an evaluation/decision-making process.

I'm not sure they needed each that much since Brady jumped onto a 8 win bucs and won a superb owl. Meanwhile the pats....Probably true. But with Belichick/Brady, they probably needed each other. And Kraft and other folks who helped make it all happen. If Brady goes to some teams, maybe he puts up gaudy stats, but doesn't win as much, especially Super Bowls. There are some teams that he might have gone to that would have wrecked him. Same goes for other QB boom and bust stories.
College is different because of the constant roster turnover, so you can see if the coach has a good system or if he just won the talent lottery early on. But it is more momentum driven in a sense. Not that NFL coaches get a long leash, just that if a guy starts off hot in college, he can usually build on that in recruiting and hiring/retaining quality staff. And, I suspect that in both the bag men and NIL eras, gaining the confidence of boosters has always been an issue. If the money dries up, you are probably just done.
Scott Frost may just suck and may never have worked out, but I have little doubt that it would have worked out better for him at Florida than it did at Nebraska. He didn't make the right move there. Given how Mullen ended up phoning it in, and how things are going now, I doubt it would have been much worse for us either.
I'm neither pumper or dumper at this stage on Napier. My initial reaction was "meh," but then I was hopeful after learning more about what type of coach he was supposed to be. I expected better results. But I still have hope that it will work out. New coaches, hopefully very skillful evaluations in the portal and in recruiting. But the window of opportunity will close quickly due to that whole momentum thing. Recruits and staff aside, if the money dries up, in the NIL era, it is game over. Put another quarter in.
I like some of the hires, but still waiting on an OC and STC (or some on the field coach to own ST).
Right now it seems like a best case scenario is Jimbo/Jameis where Lagway makes Napier look good. Hard to see Napier elevating Lagway to a higher level than he would achieve at many other schools. But I'll take that at the moment...and the dumpster fire aftermath would just be back to the current situation. If we pull off a national title, we would be starting off the next rebuild way better than where we are at now. And we will not have to deal with the shame of crab leg rape stories.
