After the Patriots let go of Belichick and Pellegrino, Vrabel has worked quickly to bring in multiple defensive coaches. Booker coached safeties in Tennessee. The Patriots also added Kevin Richardson II, who was an assistant defensive backs coach at the University of Illinois.

Speaking to Patriots.com, Mike Vrabel mapped out some of the plans that Josh McDaniels has for Drake Maye and the offense.

Mike Vrabel continues to build out his coaching staff for the Patriots, with a lot of familiar faces reportedly joining him in New England.

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 formalized the hire of Mike Vrabel’s right-hand man, John “Stretch” Streicher, per sources. He’ll be New England’s vice president of football operations and strategy. Streicher adds to the list of brand-new talents the Patriots have brought since Vrabel's hiring to help guide New England in returning to their premier level.

Two-time NFL head coach Doug Marrone, who most recently was at Boston College as a Senior Analyst for Football Strategy, is joining the Patriots' coaching staff. Marrone's specific position is TBA. His history/background w/ OL play is notable. (h/t @PatsPro_21, @JPasteris_NFL)

The New England Patriots replaced one former linebacker with another as their head coach. After just one year under player-turned-coach Jerod Mayo, New England opted to hire former Patriots legend Mike Vrabel as their head coach.
