Mike Vrabel, a former linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is the front-runner to be hired by the New England Patriots. After the Patriots fired Jerod Mayo after just one season as head coach, Vrabel, who spent eight seasons with the team, had the inside track to this position.
During his tenure as head coach of the Tennessee Titans from 2018 to 2023, Vrabel led the team to one AFC Championship. However, Vrabel was left without a head coaching position in 2024 after the Titans abruptly walked away from him. Vrabel joined the Cleveland Browns during the season to serve as head coach Kevin Stefanski’s advisor and consultant.
Four requests for him have already been made, making him a highly sought-after contender for the position of head coach. However, Vrabel is anticipated to arrive in New England before any other location posts a position.
After playing for Bill Belichick and his Super Bowl teams in the 2000s, Vrabel would have his second head coaching job in the NFL with a team he knows the history of.
