After a brief and failed attempt to ignite a new era of New England Patriots dominance after the firing of legendary, six-time Super Bowl winning coach Bill Belichick — an attempt that ended with a dismal 4-13 record in 2024 and the firing of Belichick’s replacement,

Romeo Crennel coached Mike Vrabel in New England, and worked with him on Bill O'Brien's staff in Houston. He shares some interesting insights on the Patriots head coach.

Eight years of service in New England, with three titles, and the linebacker was out of there a year too early perhaps rather than a year too late like so many others who played for that team under Bill Belichick.

Mike Vrabel taking over as head coach makes the New England Patriots signing Super Bowl-winning LG Trey Smith "inevitable" in free agency.

Coach Mike Vrabel popped up on Bourne’s screen while he was chatting with fans. Initially, it seemed as if the newly-hired Patriots head coach was randomly calling in and joining in on the fun with one of his players. However, it quickly became apparent it wasn’t Vrabel on the line once the person started to talk.

Mike Vrabel will start his search for a new offensive coordinator immediately. He said Josh McDaniels is on his list of candidates.

The Patriots have plenty of work this offseason following a tough 2024 campaign. Alongside Eliot Wolf and new front office member Ryan Cowden— whom Vrabel was able to poach from the New York Giants —New England and its new coach have nearly $130 million in cap space to work with to turn over the roster.

The New England Patriots have hired Mike Vrabel as their next head coach. The team announced the hiring Sunday morning. It comes a week after Patriots owner Robert Kraft fired Jerod Mayo after the team’s season finale victory over the Buffalo Bills to finish 4-13 in his lone season as coach.

Vrabel became one of the best free agent signings of the Bill Belichick era, winning three titles in New England.

Under Mike Vrabel, New England’s coaching staff is going to look a whole lot different than it did in 2024. A handful of assistants already know they won’t be back, offensive coordinator interviews have begun,

The New England Patriots may be closing in on bringing back another familiar face. They hired Mike Vrabel to be their new head coach on January 12 after he played for them from 2001-08 and they might be bringing back Josh McDaniels to be their offensive coordinator.
