The New England Patriots blew out most of their coaching staff from their 2024 season, including head coach Jerod Mayo, after finishing with a 4-13 record.
With Mike Vrabel becoming the 16th head coach in franchise history, the team’s former linebacker filled out a staff full of coaches and assistants that’s almost entirely new with the exception of a handful of familiar faces.
On Wednesday, the Patriots announced their full coaching staff for the 2025 season, complete with a message from Vrabel.
“The goal in filling out the 2025 Patriots coaching staff was to identify loyal, trustworthy coaches who are diverse in background, ideas, experiences and systems,” Vrabel said. “We will be aligned in our vision to teach and develop our players with creativity, consistency and an attention to detail with the major goal of developing relationships that stretch beyond the field and meeting rooms.
“We are going to build a program that players, coaches and staff want to be a part of, protect and be proud of. There are so many great people in this building who help our players and the coaching staff on a daily basis. I am excited to work side by side with them to build this program.
