Mike Vrabel is safe as Patriots head coach — his press conference reassured me

The press conference happened and I was like, all right, we're good. I think we're good. And he's going to counseling.

Mike Vrabel was hired as the New England Patriots head coach in January 2025 and has remained in that position through the 2026 offseason and into the 2026 regular season. Hank's prediction that Vrabel was 'safe' as the Patriots head coach, made on April 24, 2026, has been confirmed by real-world events.

The Giants had a great draft — Burns, Abdul Carter, Arve Reese and a right tackle to protect Jackson Dart is a loaded haul

Caleb Downs was the best overall player in the 2026 draft

Caleb Downs was my favorite player in this draft. I have to, like, as of the end of this day, I have to move on and pretend that I've always hated Caleb Downs [now that he's a Cowboy], but I thought he was the best player in the draft.

Downs' career trajectory compared to other 2026 draftees will determine this, but it's a bold claim for a safety/defender.
