But my fourth is Mike Vrabel.
Limits, who's your fourth?
I wowed you just for dramatic effect, Joe, because I have Mike Tomlin fourth.
Now, let me ask both of you an honest question here.
Why Vrabel over Tomlin?
And I realize Tomlin's playoff record, I believe now is 8-11.
Am I right about that?
But he seems to have had success against Vrabel whenever they've matched up.
And Vrabel has never gone to the promised land or even really come that close.
Why Vrabel over Tomlin?
Yeah, I mean, Jonathan Gannon beat Mike Tomlin head-to-head, so those sort of arguments only go so far.
But larger sample size with him against Vrabel-coached teams.
I think the Patriots game this year was sort of weird.
Vrabel didn't put the ball on the ground for those guys.
While it's close, Vrabel having gotten it done with multiple teams now and turning around with the Patriots hat, I think speaks to his coaching ability.
And that's a little unfair to Tomlin because we've never seen him coach another team.
But I'll take Vrabel's resume combined with more recent playoff success just to put him over the edge in my mind.
