I know we had one last year, but it seems the players never saw him either.

He certainly has a lot of OL Coaching experience, but I don't see where he has any great success anywhere or stayed very long anywhere.

Maybe he will be the best thing for our OL and will find a home with the Pats.

I think Vrabel is putting together a good offensive coaching staff.

Matthew Slater will not be part of the Patriots' coaching staff in 2025.

Mike Reiss reports that Vrabel wants a complete change away from the previous three losing seasons. He wants all of the blame if things do not go the way he is pointing the franchise.

Reiss believes, was not told, that there will be a large number of players that will be given their walking papers before the mini-camps and OTAs begin.
