The New England Patriots have been quite busy since their 2024 campaign came to a conclusion. After their season-ending victory over the Buffalo Bills, team owner Robert Kraft almost immediately fired head coach Jerod Mayo after just one year with the team.

On Monday, Vrabel met with the media for the first time as head coach, and while he answered many questions, one of the most pressing was about whether or not he had roster control, something that Bill Belichick had but Mayo didn't.

Will Josh McDaniels, Wes Welker and Bryan Cox return? Here's a look at who might be Vrabel's assistant coaches.

FOXBORO, Mass. (WPRI) — The New England Patriots have announced that their new head coach will be former defensive player Mike Vrabel.
