This guy will be the OC if Vrabel is willing to give up a draft pick.
Mike LaFleur (Current Job: Rams Offensive Coordinator)
In his first season as Titans head coach, Vrabel tabbed LaFleur's brother, Matt, as his offensive coordinator, poaching Matt from Sean McVay's staff where he was the Rams offensive coordinator. Could the younger LaFleur brother follow a similar path as his older brother?
Although it would be a lateral move title-wise for LaFleur, McVay has let his offensive coordinators leave before to allow them to be play-callers. Obviously, McVay is the primary play-caller and offensive architect in LA. In this instance, LaFleur has called plays already as the Jets offensive coordinator under Robert Salah for two seasons. Along with working for McVay, LaFleur spent seven seasons working under Kyle Shanahan, linking up with Saleh in San Francisco. LaFleur has been mentored by Shanahan, McVay, and his older brother. For an offensive coach, it doesn't get much better than that, while LaFleur would likely run a Shanahan tree offense that Vrabel is familiar with already.
It's fair to wonder why LaFleur failed in his first opportunity as a play-caller. At age 34, he might not have been ready to run an offense. The Jets were also trying to make Zach Wilson work, so maybe he was paired with the wrong quarterback. With the LaFleur-Vrabel connection, it's possible that the Pats HC could pry LaFleur out of Los Angeles.
