At least that\u2019s what coaches and executives across the league reportedly think.<\/p>\n<p id=\"WYOFJ4PMT5CFBBNVVPQYTWDBDY\">That\u2019s according to The Athletic, which recently polled 10 NFL personnel executives and coaches and asked them to assess the seven hirings this offseason.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3CHXFMLBK5GFJF2J4A3ZUZGLLE\">Vrabel and the Patriots dominated the polling. The hire in Foxborough received nine of the 10 first-place votes along with one third-place vote. The only other hire to receive a first-place vote was the Bears hiring former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.<\/p>\n<p id=\"EMGNSV3RMFA6FJLECCOEFMXI3Y\">\u201c(Vrabel has been a) successful head coach with bona fide leadership ability, which is underrated with the personalities in today\u2019s game,\u201d an executive said to The Athletic. \u201cHe\u2019s really organized situationally within the game. His personality fits the northeast, where they\u2019re going to run the ball and play good defense. And he has a quarterback.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"GGDIRBXTSVGNDGSGEPXXT6YZDA\">The Patriots were the lone team to appear in the top five on all 10 ballots. The Johnson hire appeared on five ballots, as did the Raiders hiring Pete Carroll.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Y6STQ27FEFDWLKVSQISFOPLECI\">Here are the full results of the poll from The Athletic:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Mike Vrabel, Patriots<\/li>\n<li>Ben Johnson, Bears<\/li>\n<li>Pete Carroll, Raiders<\/li>\n<li>Aaron Glenn, Jets<\/li>\n<li>Kellen Moore, Saints<\/li>\n<li>Liam Coen, Jaguars<\/li>\n<li>Brian Schottenheimer, Cowboys<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p id=\"D4DCDUMNLBGPJMURI5W7RUMDC4\">The Saints officially closed out this year\u2019s hiring cycle Tuesday when they announced the hiring of Moore as head coach, filling the league\u2019s last head coach opening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriots crushed it by hiring Mike Vrabel.
