The New England Patriots hired former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel on Sunday but the news didn't exactly shock the rest of the NFL, according

More to the point, Vrabel never coached under Belichick. He hasn’t worked in Foxboro in 15 years. In that time, he developed his own network and identity, moving from Ohio State to the Texans, Titans and Browns. Vrabel collected invaluable experience that would have served Mayo, also his own man, had Mayo ever flown the New England nest.

One of Vrabel's former teammates, Tedy Bruschi, loved the move by the Patriots but he also had a very direct message for the team's front office, which Bruschi thinks has too much of a say in things that it might not completely understand.
