Mike Vrabel made it clear during his introductory press conference as Patriots head coach that he wanted to rework the culture and tone currently in place at Gillette Stadium.
“We’re going to earn the right to be here every day. We’re going to move entitlement from our football team,” Vrabel said of his plans for the Patriots in 2025. “We’re going to get everything that we’ve earned from the head coach to the position coaches, all the way down to the players.
“We’re going to earn the right to be here every single day. …We want to treat every player the same way they treat the team, and we want to treat every employee the same way they treat the team.
