Some of the legendary coaches' philosophies — including game plans, practice plans and training — have rubbed off on Vrabel.

The new head coach of the New England Patriots, Mike Vrabel, will face a wide array of significant challenges as he tries to restore the once-dominant franchise to contender status in the AFC following back-to-back 4-13 seasons.

The Patriots have plenty of work this offseason following a tough 2024 campaign. Alongside Eliot Wolf and new front office member Ryan Cowden— whom Vrabel was able to poach from the New York Giants —New England and its new coach have nearly $130 million in cap space to work with to turn over the roster.
