Mike Vrabel put his body on the line to win a Super Bowl as a player for the New England Patriots more than 20 years ago. 

Today, as head coach, he'd go even further. 

During an interview on "The Greg Hill Show," Tuesday, Vrabel was asked about a 2019 comment he made when he was head coach of the Tennessee Titans. That year, Vrabel said during a Barstool Sports interview that he would "cut off" his penis to win the Super Bowl.

This year, he's willing to take on similar damage to get the job done.

"Maybe I’ll cut it in half, but I ain’t cutting the whole thing off," Vrabel said. 

Vrabel, 50, already has two sons, Tyler and Carter, with his wife, Jen. Vrabel went on to clarify why he would pay a lesser price to secure the Lombardi trophy with this year's Patriots team compared to the 2019 Titans. 

"That was just to get that young fledgling group, Taylor [Lewan] and Will [Compton] [former NFL players and hosts of "Bussin’ With the Boys"], to fly into the podcast game, and it took off."

"I say a lot of things I don’t mean."

Vrabel's 2019 Titans ended up beating the Patriots in the Wild Card round of the playoffs that year in what was Tom Brady's last game in New England. The Patriots were just one year removed from their most recent Super Bowl victory at that point. 

Now, just six years later, New England is back in the big game under Vrabel's leadership.

If the Patriots beat the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, Vrabel would be the first head coach to win a Super Bowl title while playing and coaching for the same franchise. He already made similar history as he led the team to a conference championship.

Vrabel won three Super Bowl titles with the Patriots during his career.
