The New England Patriots’ coaching search is trending toward a two-horse race between Mike Vrabel and Ben Johnson, but one among them seems to be the clear favorite at the moment.
Vrabel, a former linebacker for the team and member of its Hall of Fame, appears to be on his way to become the organization’s next head coach. Some tidbits shared by NFL Network insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero on Saturday only strengthened that belief.
Vrabel is still seen as the “overwhelming favorite” to end up earning the job, a status that has remained unchanged throughout the process.
