Mike Vrabel’s size reportedly a factor in not landing HC job, how Clippers grew on Colin | THE HERD

So there’s a story and this where we’re going to start the show today that Mike Vel who’s about 64 and A2 big guy good-looking big guy uh physical football player um you know tough guy football players are tough that his size intimidated people and that’s why

Some people didn’t want to hire him if the rock was 5′ 32 140 lbs he wouldn’t be the rock he’d be the pebble Size Matters taller men make more money it’s not an opinion look it up and Mike Vel if he was 5’6 would be somewhat intimidating he’s a tough guy he’s kind

Of intense looking right he’s going to pitch a crap he’s got that sort of Boston personality but I actually see it as an advantage I’ll give you an example if you told me who are the toughest four football coaches in the NFL if they all

Got into a fight I’d say Mike Tomlin Dan Campbell Vel and Jim Harbaugh and I do think their size and physicality it’s easier to relate to some players and uh th those coaches teams are all known as physical and tough rael’s teams tomlin’s teams uh Harbaugh’s teams physicality they have

An alpha it bleeds to the team I think you can connect with certain players relate to former players and again taller men make more money size does matter but this is really about NFL teams and I was joking with Mike on text last night I Saidi know you’re too tall

To get a job and too big but can you are you too tall for us to text um I think this is NFL team’s losing sight of rael’s greatest gift and that’s communication Nick Sabin 57 a half intimidating Great Communicator Mike McDaniel 5’9 Great Communicator Shawn McVey 510 Great Communicator Dan

Campbell 65 a half built like a house Great Communicator that’s what this sport is and big men sometimes are better community communicators because players connect with them not all the time where you get in trouble with big men in and out of football is when they’ve used it

As a crotch since high school they’re known as Meatheads that’s not Mike Vel Mike rabl really sharp gets the game Great Communicator was I surprised he didn’t get one of the eight jobs no because he’s really smart so is in my opinion Ben Johnson and they both thought the

Best job and the only great job was Justin Herbert and the Chargers and both Ben Johnson and Vel are smart enough to realize if you don’t have a really good quarterback it doesn’t matter how good of a coach you are go ask Bill bich next

Year you could have five to seven B+ and above quarterbacks that needed coach so um I thought he was the best coach available that didn’t get a job I consider him right now in 2024 the best coach available because Bill bellich is not as collaborative and clearly

Offensively not as current but um if a GM is worried about being intimidated then it’s probably a team you don’t want to work for it really is but is intimidation relevant does size matter yes I see it as an advantage as long as you’re not a meathead who’s relied on

That size since high school to get your way and Vel hasn’t he was always one of the more thoughtful players he was always a thoughtful coach got to an AFC Championship with a B to a B minus quarterback multiple division titles six years four wins it’s not his problem

Will Levis couldn’t get him to the promised land all right so one of the things that is an epidemic in this country and boy do you see it on social media guys women don’t guys struggle to admit they’re wrong I do a segment every Monday saying Callin right Callin wrong

I don’t because I don’t think anybody’s perfect I make mistakes every week I I have or or I have a strong opinion it’s completely wrong I’m totally comfortable with it I would be uncomfortable not moving off a position and doubling down the Giants on Daniel Jones he’s not it

Now he can’t even stay healthy what are you doing so um I didn’t think the Clippers would work with James Harden man was I wrong uh a couple of weeks ago go uh I started really really watching them closely remember they were like 0 and five when

They put them together it was a mess then they got hot they right now have the best easiest offense in the league I watched them drop 149 last night they have the number one offensive rating the Paul George kawhai combo is number one in the league plus 346 they get a great

Look every time down the floor they don’t have a single player in the NBA in the top 35 usage rate not one the ball moves and a couple of nights ago just happen stance I ended up sitting down at a place I go for dinner occasionally Lawrence Frank the

President of the Clippers was sitting next door we sat and talked for an hour great guy and he said James Harden he goes I didn’t know him before all about winning he has been unbelievable and I watched again last night I watched them roll the Celtics last week this is the

Best offense in the league it’s the it’s an absolute joy to watch much more watchable on most nights than the Lakers than the Bucks even the Celtics it is a blast to watch all their stars have bought in and that’s the key when you have multiple Stars Russell Westbrook’s

Like all come off the bench let me tell you something this Westbrook is fantastic he had a great pass last night he’s a more willing Defender he’s Absolute Energy their bench is excellent they’ve got real scoring Terrence man Kawai Paul George Harden uh coffee they’ve got nothing but guys and I

Watched them last night and here’s here’s the great thing about him all these stars and one guy has a ring Kawai and he’s got a couple of them so all these guys now are rich they’re all famous they’re all trying to get a ring Westbrook Harden Paul George um veteran

And here’s the other thing they’ve got all the boxes veteran point guard helps in the playoffs two great Wings scores and Defenders huge in the playoffs solid bench size in plumbley and zubot experienced head coach experienced players in the playoffs I have no problem acknowledging wow was I wrong on

This puppy Lob City remember Lob City Chris Paul Blake Griffin DeAndre Jordan wasn’t a ton of substance to it Blake Griffin couldn’t hit a perimeter shot DeAndre Jordan can’t do anything but dunk and Chris Paul’s more distribution than score Lob City was a lot of Flash

And fun but there wasn’t a lot of substance to it this team is all substance they defend on the wing smart veteran point guard who can distribute bench scoring veteran coach multiple bigs have I have no problem admitting I was wrong I I watch them four or five

Games in a row now and watched most of the game I watched the second half last night it is unbelievable how easily they move the ball and get a shot they get a great look virtually every time down the floor and that’s not the way the NBA

Works there’s a lot of force threes and force shots they get a great look every time down the floor kawhai doesn’t have to start the offense either does Paul George they’ve got guards to do it Westbrook’s energy Off the Bench this is a great basketball team and absolutely

Capable of winning the championship it’s not a doubt in my mind you can play all the defense you want the teams winning the titles get the buckets down the stretch this team gets a great look with great offensive performers every possession to the end Chris manx yesterday on this

Team if they’re not the favorite to win the champion ship in June they are in a small group of teams that you would consider that James Harden as he did in Philadelphia let’s be clear on that has adapted his game to make it work playing opposite Paul George and opposite of

Kawhi Leonard Russell Westbrook did not sulk did not you know throw a fit he went out and accepted that sixthman role it’s the fact that these guys who have been pretty obstinate to change for most of their careers guys that have been like you know I’m me I’m gonna do me and

That’s kind of the way it’s going to be they have adapted beautifully in this role for the Clippers Ty L is a guy I said this when they got James Harden I said if anybody can make it work it’s Ty Lou he had to deal with dysfunction as a

Player dysfunction as a coach but he’s gotten these guys to buy into it and um you know a lot of people complain about the NBA the Aesthetics of it there’s too many three-pointers they do mid-range they drive they score at The Rim they hit three-pointers starters bench and

Energy totally wrong as totally wrong and I’ll say this a a joy to watch really fun basketball to watch score low mid-range perimeter can score in transition why was I wrong about this one hi everybody it’s me Uncle Colin subscribe here to get the latest from the herd including exclusive behind the
