A day after Brian Belichick departed, Mike Vrabel is hiring a veteran safeties coach who worked with him in Tennessee
Speaking on his podcast with Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski relayed a time where Mike Vrabel "outplayed" Bill Belichick as head coach.
Speaking to Patriots.com, Mike Vrabel mapped out some of the plans that Josh McDaniels has for Drake Maye and the offense.
Mike Vrabel's first offseason as head coach of the New England Patriots is in full swing, as the Pats are well represented at this week's Senior Bowl in Alabama.
The New England Patriots replaced one former linebacker with another as their head coach. After just one year under player-turned-coach Jerod Mayo, New England opted to hire former Patriots legend Mike Vrabel as their head coach.
For some of those teams, that will involve finding new head coaches and/or General Managers. Three teams fired their head coaches during the season and two more have been dispatched as of 9 a.m. ET on January 6.
The New York Jets and Aaron Glenn have agreed to terms on making the Detroit Lions defensive coordinator their head coach
So far, besides the Patriots and Vrabel, Lions coordinators Ben Johnson (Bears) and Aaron Glenn (Jets) have been scooped up, while Bucs OC Liam Coen is heading to Jacksonville, Pete Carroll is reportedly returning to the sidelines with the Raiders and Brian Schottenheimer has been hired by the Cowboys.
With Johnson heading to Chicago and Mike Vrabel already in New England, five head coaching vacancies remain. The Jets, Saints, Jaguars, Raiders and Cowboys are still in the hunt. Johnson, who was Detroit’s offensive coordinator, agreed to become the Chicago Bears head coach on Monday, two days after the No. 1 seeded Lions lost to Washington.
Mike Vrabel is quickly putting together an intriguing staff for the New England Patriots. His latest hire comes from his alma mater, Ohio State. According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, the Patriots are adding Ohio State offensive assistant Riley Larkin to their staff.
Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz wrote on Twitter/X: "The #Patriots are making a major addition to their coaching staff, hiring former Bills and Jaguars head coach—and highly respected offensive line coach—Doug Marrone to work under Mike Vrabel, per sources (and as @JPasteris_NFL said). Marrone is viewed as one of the very best OL coaches in football."
