New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is not afraid of confrontation – especially in Starbucks parking lot.
The 50-year-old NFL coach explained in a recent podcast that he tends to face people who use accessible parking spaces when they don’t have a permit.
“The people at Starbucks parked and went there among people with disabilities, trying to get orders from mobile orders … (who) is by no means disabled,” said Flaber when he appeared in the sports competition “Spoon City.”

Flaber said he was looking for a parking permit that could allow someone to park in accessible spaces and if he couldn't see one, he would wait for the person to come out and approach them.
“I have nothing to do when I don't have a job,” Flaber said. “I can sit here for 15 minutes and wait for this person to come out and actually see if they are disabled.”
“I said, ‘Why are you stopping here?’ One person would think, ‘I’m at Du. “I thought, “I don't care. “There is also a mom going to yoga, she is in a hurry because she is late, I thought, 'It's ridiculous. '”

The former Tennessee Titans coach admitted he “hooked” people and even hoped he could cut tires.
“I'll cut their tires, and that's how much trouble me,” he said.
Dianna Russini of track and field sport suggested boots as punishment, and Vrabel did that.

“I'll guide their cars. Like a mobile phone boot saying, 'I parked at a disabled scene, but I'm not disabled.'
When Vrabel didn't know the parking space, he focused on turning the Patriots in his first season as head coach. New England ranked in the AFC East with a 4-13 record last season.
