Hunt For A Head Coach

This is why the rule is stupid. If the Pats want Vrable they are forced to interview a token minority. I wonder how the token minority interviewee feels about this

It's only a problem for the league and everyone else when the league decides to enforce it. How many other teams have hired a HC since the rule was put in place and conducted token interviews to finally get the guy they wanted??? Probably 100% of them. Billionaires don't become billionaires by following someone else's rules.

Patriots.com 1/7/2025. First round of 2025 free agents that the Patriots re discussing. Too many cost effect candidates are missing for me to give this list a great deal of credibility.

Notable External Free Agents
Three important positions, edge, offensive tackle and wide receiver, top the Patriots spots of need this offseason, while a second starting cornerback and defensive front seven depth should also receive heavy consideration in free agency as they're two deepest positions of quality players in this year's group.
As always, there are some interesting notable names due to hit the free agency market. The Patriots will have to balance their moves between free agency and the draft, with options on the defensive side of the ball appearing to be the most plentiful when the league year opens in March. At tackle and wide receiver there is limited depth after the key names atop the lists like receiver Tee Higgins and offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley.
Here are some notable free agents that will garner plenty of attention around the NFL this spring, specifically focusing on the positions the Patriots could consider upgrading.

• Tee Higgins, WR
• Chris Godwin, WR
• Amari Cooper, WR
• Ronnie Stanley, OT
• Cam Robinson, OT
• Alaric Jackson, OT
• Milton Williams, DT
• B.J. Hill, DT
• Josh Sweat, Edge
• Dre Greenlaw, LB
• DJ Reed, CB
• Charvarius Ward, CB
• Rasul Douglas, CB

Patricia is probably like most other rocket scientists, smartest guys in the room but nobody can understand anything they say.

I'm with you. They need a more aggressive DC assuming that he'll be calling the defensive schemes.
