As rumors continue to swirl around Jerod Mayo and his future in New England, speculation has sprouted up over who exactly the Patriots could turn to on the sideline if Robert Kraft makes a drastic coaching change in 2025.
It should come as little surprise that Mike Vrabel sits atop the list of potential candidates if New England begins an unexpected coaching search.
Vrabel — who won three Super Bowls across eight seasons with the Patriots — already holds the Patriots in high regard.
“I haven’t been back as much as I should since 2009, but I want to thank the fans who made playing in this stadium unbelievably special,” Vrabel said at Gillette Stadium after his Patriots Hall-of-Fame ceremony in 2023.
