DE Mike Vrabel (All B1G, All American, Pro Bowl, All Pro, Super Bowl Champion)

Former Ohio State football player won't rule out coaching in college

Former Ohio State football player and assistant coach Mike Vrabel won't rule out being a head coach in the college game.

When former Ohio State football player Mike Vrabel got fired as the coach of the Tennessee Titans, it was very surprising. Vrabel had established himself as one of the best coaches in the NFL. In fact, he was the NFL Coach of the year in 2021, just two seasons prior to being fired.

What's even more surprising is the fact that Vrabel didn't get a head coaching job somewhere else. He was shut out of other jobs for mostly silly reasons. He's now a consultant with the Cleveland Browns for the upcoming NFL season and he'll have another shot at landing a job next year.

Ohio State football fans have been hoping to make a run at him if Ryan Day fails to succeed this year. If Day loses to Michigan yet again, he'll be fired. Would Vrabel entertain coaching his alma mater? According to a recent interview, he won't shut the door completely.

Talking in an interview on Pardon My Take, Vrabel was asked if he ever would consider going back to college to coach. Vrabel didn't shut the door on doing it at some point. He did talk about how much the college game has changed and that there are a lot more headaches with it now, but he didn't outright say no.

Vrabel would be a great addition to the Ohio State Buckeyes if Day isn't going to be the guy who will be leading the program much longer. He's great at getting the most out of a less-talented roster, something the Buckeyes have had an issue with in recent seasons.

I'm here for this. Fuck the Natty, fuck the Big Ten too. Just beat the scumbags. I wouldn't have said that before but I've turned the corner. There's one game that matters and idgaf about anything else anymore
The thing is it’s simple - if you can’t beat TTUN then what makes anyone think you could win CFP. The Game is the perfect precursor to national success

My thing in regards to Vrabel, is the biggest knock is his hate for recruiting.

How much recruiting does he actually have to do at a program like OSU where they’re shelling out $20M for a roster??

If he puts kids in the NFL and the NIL continues to stay aggressive, the program recruits for itself.

My biggest concern would be how conservative his teams have been offensively in the NFL….so his OC hire would be critical….but pairing his attitude of toughness with a guy like Buster Faulkner (Ga Tech OC) would be pretty badass.

I’d prefer an internal promotion of Hartline, but would 100% support a move to Vrabel.

Just get this fake tough guy bullshit outta Columbus. It’s old.
