With both the and choosing new head coaches this week in former defensive coordinator Raheem Morris and former offensive coordinator Dave Canales, it is looking increasingly po sible that former head coach Mike Vrabel -- who seemed like he was going to be one of the top candidates on the market -- could end this cycle without getting a head-coaching job.It's a bit Francisco Liriano Jersey of a surprise, but also not quite unprecedented. legend Bill Belichick seems like he could be in the same situation. So , we're going to lay out the remaining options for Vrabel next season. These are the only two remaining head-coaching openings. If Vrabel is going to be a head coach next year, it has to be in one of these two jobs. The only i sue with that is neither the Mitch Keller Jersey Seahawks nor Commanders has for the position. The only two teams that did -- the Falcons and Panthers -- have already hired other candidates. So, unle s one of these two teams is going to circle back around to Vrabel after already giving second interviews to some candidates, it's not happening for him this year.Prior to landing in Tenne see, Vrabel spent two years as the linebackers coach and then one year as the defensive coordinator of the . He has mostly had named defensive coordinators who called the plays during his time in Tenne see, though, so it's been six years since he was consistently calling defensive plays. Still, if he doesn't end up in Seattle or Washington, teams could come calling. There are several defensive coordinator jobs that are vacant right now, including those of the , , Rams and . Vrabel has not interviewed for any of those jobs yet, and might not be interested in being a coordinator again, but those jobs are available.Teams with new head coaches like the , Panthers, Titans (not happening, obviously), Seahawks and Commanders could potentially hire new defensive coordinators, and the jobs in Ivan Nova Jersey Buffalo (under head coach Sean McDermott), Atlanta (under new head coach Morris), Las Vegas (under Antonio Pierce) and New England (under new head coach ) either are or could technically be open as well. And if Mike Macdonald and/or Dan Quinn Colin Moran Jersey get one of the open head-coaching jobs, the and/or could have open slots.Obviously the Patriots seem like the most logical landing spot among those groups, but we don't know if Vrabel would be interested or willing to work under Mayo, nor whether Mayo would want to bring him in. They were only teammates in New England for one season (Mayo's rookie year) and never worked on the same staff together. We've seen head coaches who are not interested in taking a step backward and being coordinators do this before. A lot of times it's by choice, as they want to take a year to regroup and figure out what they do and don't do well and where they need to improve Lonnie Chisenhall Jersey . It seems like Vrabel wanted to be a head coach this coming season, but it might not be in the cards. Going away for a year and hitting the interview circuit to sell yourself has been a strong move for certain coaches in the past, and Vrabel could benefit from doing something similar and then trying to get one of the open jobs next offseason.
