New England Patriots Head Coach Hire

The Patriots hired Mike Vrabel as their next head coach on January 12.

Vrabel ending up with the Patriots appeared to be a fait accompli as soon as Jerod Mayo was fired, and while the Patriots did interview Lions OC Ben Johnson, the entire search felt like something of a show.

Vrabel spent eight seasons with the Patriots as a player, winning three Super Bowls.

He led the Titans to a 54-45 record over six seasons with three playoff appearances including an AFC Championship game in 2019.

With Vrabel on board, the Patriots could bring back another familiar face at offensive coordinator.
