Mike Vrabel made a triumphant return to New England as head coach of the Patriots on Monday. A former linebacker and Super Bowl champion under Bill Belichick, Vrabel said he felt the move back to Foxborough was right "in his soul." Vrabel previously coached the Tennessee Titans and spent last season as a consultant for the Cleveland Browns. "I'm humbled, I'm grateful," Vrabel said Monday, recalling being inducted into the team's Hall of Fame in 2023. "Excited to get to work. Excited to meet the people in this building who have made this place special." The Patriots last reached the playoffs at the end of the 2021 season, losing 47-17 to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round.
