Mike Vrabel said he still would be willing to sacrifice his family jewels to win one more Super Bowl ring six years later.
During a 2019 appearance on the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast, the then-Titans coach said “yeah probably” when asked if he’d cut off his male parts for another title.
On Tuesday’s installment of “The Greg Hill Show,” Vrabel — whose Patriots will face the Seattle Seahawks in this year’s Super Bowl — slightly doubled down on the notion when the host asked, “Is that still the plan?”
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel watches during the first half of the AFC Championship game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, January 25, 2026, in Denver. AP“Maybe I’ll cut it in half, but I ain’t cutting the whole thing off,” Vrabel said, laughing.
“That was just to get that young fledgling group, Taylor [Lewan] and Will [Compton, former NFL players and hosts of ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’] — get them to fly into the podcast game and it took off.
“I say a lot of things I don’t mean.”
Vrabel, who won three Super Bowls during his playing days with the Patriots, got up to leave, and joked that the interview was “too long.”
Vrabel’s July 2019 appearance on “Bussin’ With The Boys” came after he coached the Titans to a 9-7 record in his first season with Tennessee, in which they missed the playoffs.
At the time, Vrabel, Lewan and Compton discussed potential bets they’d made if they won a Super Bowl.
“I have no problem saying, no I wouldn’t do that,” Lewan said, adding that Vrabel won three Super Bowl titles as a player.
“Would you cut your d–k off for a Super Bowl?” Compton asked.
“Yeah, [three Super Bowls] as a player,” Vrabel said.
“Been married 20 years,” he added of his wife Jen. “Yeah, probably.”
“… You guys will be married for 20 years one day. You won’t need it.”
Vrabel quipped, “[Jen] would be like, ‘Do you want me to do it? Do you want to do it now?'”
The Titans fired Vrabel in January 2024 following two consecutive losing seasons, and six seasons at the helm.
New England hired its former Super Bowl-winning linebacker to be its head coach a year later.
The Patriots beat the Broncos 10-7 to win the AFC title on Sunday and will face the Seahawks, who won Sunday’s NFC championship game against the Rams, 31-27, in Super Bowl 2026, taking place in Santa Clara on Feb. 8.
