Mike Vrabel was hired as head coach of the New England Patriots this offseason as the Kraft family continues to search for a true successor to Bill Belichick's throne. In Vrabel they have a disciple of sorts, a former player under Belichick who has since walked his own path as a coach. Which has been a fairly successful one; Vrabel boasts a career record of 54-45 after six years at the helm for the Tennessee Titans.
As it turns out, Belichick has long believed Vrabel had what it takes to be a successful head coach. Fellow former Patriot turned media member Devin McCourty appeared on Up & Adams with Kay Adams on Tuesday and revealed Belichick was asked which former player or coach he's worked with would make for a good head coach during a production meeting. He named Vrabel, and had an NSFW reason for doing so.
