Danny Parkins: Mike Vrabel Is Overrated

Danny Parkins: Mike Vrabel Is Overrated

Before I start, let’s make one thing abundantly clear. Danny Parkins has his job at FS1 for one reason. I don’t know who runs FS1 programming but it’s pretty obvious that whoever that person is, they are trying very hard to become an alternative to ESPN. It’s the same formula; bad hot takes and loud personalities who have no clue what they’re talking about. The only difference is it’s under the Fox umbrella.

Parkins is now in the national spotlight after years of working at 670 The Score in Chicago. I guess that means the Bears are his specialty?

Okay, I’ll get to the point now. On a recent appearance on his butt buddies show, Parkins was asked who he think should coach the Bears next after they fired Matt Eberflus. This idiot went on a long rant about how the Bears shouldn’t hire Mike Vrabel because he’s overrated.

 VIA a recent edition of The Herd:

“I’ve been talking about this now for the last couple of weeks,” said Cowherd on the Bears head coaching vacancy. “It was my second story today. I heard Joe Brady’s name come up. The analogy I used Danny was everybody that works to build a bridge is a tradesman. But if you are going to be the leader of the project, you have to be an engineer or an architect. This needs an engineer or an architect, not just a tradesman. I don’t want any coordinators getting the Bears job. This is a big big project. Is Vrabel the name you would suggest? Where are you on him? Because he is the biggest name out there.”

Parkins responded with this…

“We are not aligned on this one Colin,” said Parkins. And I love the analogy as alway. It’s excellent work. But I’ll take the tradesman. I want the offensive guy. Mike Vrabel should coach Cincinnati where they have Joe Burrow and the offense is established. He should coach Dallas where they have Dak Prescott and the offense is established. Go coach Ohio State if you want.

“I feel like Mike Vrabel, we’ve overrated him because time away has helped him age pretty well. People are like ‘Oh my god, they won 12 games’. That team had Derrick Henry. That team had A.J. Brown. Arthur Smith was the offensive coordinator. We’ve seen that he can raise the floor of a quarterback, he’s doing it with Russell Wilson. He did it with Ryan Tannehill that last year (in Tennessee).

“There were power struggles in Tennessee. He went 6-18 in his last 24 games. He wanted all the power. He couldn’t replace Arthur Smith. They had a seven game losing streak to finish a season. Caleb Williams is at a fork in the road moment in his career. I want to try and find the coach that can win and develop and maximize any quarterback. Go find you Kevin O’Connell. Go find your Matt LaFleur, your Sean McVay, your Kyle Shanahan. If you can’t get those guys in a trade, go try and find the next one because the Bears need offensive help. Yeah, leadership is a problem. I’m not going to dispute it. But I think this leader of men stuff is grossly overrated. All football coaches are supposed to be leaders of men.”

Titans: Firing Mike Vrabel Was Incredibly Stupid

How ignorant do you have to be to have this take? Vrabel had a 54.5% win percentage with Tennessee. In the first year without him, they have three wins and are in a dog fight to win the first overall pick. Vrabel took Ryan Tannehill to an AFC Title Game. Are we going to pretend he’s good now? The guy is totally out of the league right now. Not to mention Jon Robinson botched every draft for a four year period and people wonder why they suck now.

Is it really necessary to keep going? I could probably type another ten pages if I needed to. If you can’t figure out Vrabel can coach, you are CLUELESS. We’ll leave it at that. I can guarantee whoever the Bears hire, they won’t be as good as Mike Vrabel. Which maybe would have been true but they were too stupid to pass on Jim Harbaugh.

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one. I’m just not sure why some of them should be rewarded with multi-million dollar salaries. If you think Mike Vrabel is overrated, you don’t know anything about football. Which makes sense given that Parkins and dummy Colin Cowturd are butt buddies.

Feel free to comment because I can’t be the only one who sees this. Nobody has a single ounce of respect for this idiot, Parkins, right?
