Vrabel Reflects on Belichick’s Hypothetical College Debut Struggles

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel recently shared his candid thoughts regarding a hypothetical scenario involving his former mentor, Bill Belichick. While appearing on WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show, Vrabel was prompted to comment on the imagined struggles of Belichick in a college football debut at North Carolina.

When asked if it takes time to establish a college program, Vrabel quickly referenced Urban Meyer’s immediate success at Ohio State. “I don’t know,” Vrabel stated, “Urban Meyer won 12 of his first 12 games at Ohio State, so it didn’t take him long. That’s my experience in college football.” Vrabel served as the defensive line coach during Meyer’s inaugural year with the Buckeyes.

These pointed remarks are framed against the backdrop of an often-strained relationship between Belichick and Patriots owner Robert Kraft. The discussion also touches on the perception of Belichick, who, in this speculative context, is seen as a ‘constant distraction’ – a role he would have once ‘mercilessly mocked.’ The article credits Vrabel for his straightforwardness, suggesting that Belichick, with his large influx of new players, experienced a challenging start, contrasting sharply with other coaches who have found immediate success in new programs.
