New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel is clearly a fan of the way Josh McDaniels sees the game. It’s for that reason that he hired him to return for a third stint as offensive coordinator for the Patriots.

The Patriots have made a concerted effort to add experienced coaches to their staff after a lackluster 2024 season.

The Patriots wasted no time in hiring Mike Vrabel as their new head coach, and he’s already building the staff that he hopes will help him pull New England out of the dredges in 2025. According to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com, the Patriots are hiring former NFL head coach and offensive coordinator Doug Marrone.

The latest class of new NFL head coaches includes a good mix of hot-shot young offensive coordinators and seasoned veterans who won big elsewhere.

The New England Patriots are hiring former Chicago Bears interim head coach and offensive coordinator Thomas Brown to be their tight ends coach and pass game coordinator, per NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero.

If Marrone becomes the Patriots offensive line coach, he’ll replace Scott Peters, who took a job with the Cincinnati Bengals. Marrone joins veteran offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels along with veteran running backs coach Tony Dews, quarterbacks coach Ashton Grant, and offensive assistant Riley Larkin

The New England Patriots officially announced the hiring of Mike Vrabel just two weeks ago, and since then, they've been adding new coaches to his staff left and right. On Monday, MassLive's Mark Daniels reported that the Patriots are hiring Doug Marrone and Milton Patterson to coach under Vrabel.

Doug Marrone and Thomas Brown are reportedly set to join New England's staff on offense with Josh McDaniels. The post Mike Vrabel reportedly to add Doug Marrone, other former head coaches to his Patriots staff appeared first on Boston.

There are four head coaching vacancies remaining: The Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars, Las Vegas Raiders and the New Orleans Saints. That leaves four head coaching candidates to get hired for 2025. Let's take a look at the best ones.
