Those hoping for the New England Patriots to bring in some familiar faces will like how the team's coaching search is currently trending.
Former linebacker and Patriots Hall of Famer Mike Vrabel remains the favorite to be the next Patriots head coach, according to our Phil Perry. Vrabel has an in-person interview with New England on Thursday, and as Perry pointed out Wednesday on the Next Pats Podcast, the Patriots technically could hire him as soon as that interview is over, as they've already satisfied the NFL's Rooney Rule by interviewing Byron Leftwich and Pep Hamilton on Tuesday.
