After a dysfunctional 2024 season under first-year head coach Jerod Mayo, the New England Patriots are prioritizing experience on their coaching staff heading into the 2025 campaign.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft hired Mike Vrabel as his new head coach shortly after parting ways with Mayo, who went 4-13 as Bill Belichick's replacement. Vrabel was an obvious fit due to his history in New England as a player and his track record in six seasons (99 games) as the Tennessee Titans head coach.
Vrabel has since spent his time assembling his staff, which includes three other coaches with NFL head coaching experience.
