Since taking over as the head coach of the New England Patriots, Mike Vrabel has taken his time constructing the team's new coaching staff. He decided not to keep most of the previous coaches but, interestingly, will retain former New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo on his staff.
McAdoo spent 2024 as the Patriots' senior offensive consultant. He will remain on Vrabel's staff in a defensive role that will be specified at a later date, according to the Boston Sports Journal. The peculiar move would mark the first year in which McAdoo, a decorated offensive coach, moves to defense.
