    This news has got me pretty upset, but I will be so excited when Vrabel is our DC in about 4 or 5 years after this experience...

    My only question is can he take Fickell with him?

    Sorry to see him go, but a realignment in the D staff is in much need!

    I'm with you.

    Also, telling an incoming DC that there's room to bring in an additional assistant of his choice could help with the search. It also means we don't necessarily need to look for a secondary-oriented DC. We can pick-up a DC and a separate secondary coach, and Luke can work more with the d-line.

    Move Luke to DL find new LB and secondary coach and DC. Yes change needed to be made but we all know it was not at DL

    Damn... He was the one defensive assistant we all liked (his unit was performing really well).

    As many have said here, this give us some much needed flexibility for the DC hire... Hopefully, we'll move Fickell to DL (hard to screw that one up with the talent we have there), and we can find great DB/LB coaches elsewhere.

    Good luck at the next level, Vrabs! Pretty great start to a coaching career! He's only been at it for two years, and he's already assisting at the highest level...

    Would love for him to learn the game, and come back as a DC or even a possible HC someday!

    High school, he was on staff when Saine's team won state and wrestling coach at graham. Maybe him and Fickell on DL together.

    Kind of a taking a demotion but throwing a bone for doing so
