The New England Patriots officially introduced Mike Vrabel as their 16th head coach in franchise history. He took the podium at Gillette Stadium and ushered in change for the franchise.
Vrabel embodied the traits of the first half of the Patriots dynasty in the 2000s and hopes to modernize a new winning tradition in New England. Vrabel had success as the head coach of the Tennessee Titans and returns to Foxboro hoping to elevate his former team.
Vrabel spoke Monday with conviction and direction for the Patriots to turn their recent tailspin around from the last five seasons.
