The New England Patriots went 4-13 in 2024 and fired Jerod Mayo after the season. While it was a disappointing campaign, they saw a lot out of quarterback Drake Maye which makes the job enticing. While they have already interviewed a few other candidates, a team Hall of Famer is the leader in the clubhouse. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Mike Vrabel is the favorite to be the Patriots coach.
The Patriots plan to interview Mike Vrabel for their vacant head coach position on Thursday, sources say,” Rapoport reported.
