This article explores the coaching landscape in the NFL, highlighting the upcoming vacancies and urging teams to consider a specific type of coach: one with leadership, experience, and a proven track record. The author posits that Mike Vrabel, former coach of the Tennessee Titans, is the ideal candidate for the New York Jets.
There are three head-coaching vacancies already and more surely to come. There figure to be at least five open jobs by Black Monday on Jan. 6. Some around the NFL think the number could reach seven or eight. And while the coaching carousel hasn’t officially started spinning yet, even the teams just thinking about a change have surely compiled a list of possible replacements.And if history is any indication, most of them will get it wrong.
But there is one right choice, one smart choice, for every NFL team potentially looking for a new head coach (and no, it’s not Bill Belichick — at least not anymore). The right person who can turn their fates around, fix their problems and be a perfect fit is really there.So NFL owners and general managers would be wise to pay attention to this list and save themselves years of aggravation. Because here are the coaches that every NFL team with an opening — and even those with a potential opening — should hire when the coaching carousel begins to spin:The perfect match: Former Titans coach Mike VrabelThe Jets are surely going to look at all the big names, and draw interest from just about everywhere. Rex Ryan, their former coach, has already started begging for the job. Another former coach, Eric Mangini, had his name oddly leaked, too. And they’ll try for the hottest assistants, like Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, but this job doesn’t make a lot of sense for him or for them.What they are so desperately crying out for is leadership and experience. And while they could be happy with a former head coach like Matt Nagy, the real prize is Vrabel. He not only had a mostly successful tenure in Tennessee (54-45 record, three playoff berths in six seasons), but he brings more toughness and credibility than any coach on the market. The Jets have a talented team that is badly underachieving and poorly coached, and their window for winning is closin
