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

After a dysfunctional 2024 season under first-year head coach Jerod Mayo, the New England Patriots are prioritizing experience on their coaching staff heading into the 2025 campaign. Patriots owner Robert Kraft hired Mike Vrabel as his new head coach shortly after parting ways with Mayo,

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.

Ben McAdoo is expected to remain with the New England Patriots coaching staff in 2025, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss. McAdoo served in the role of senior offensive assistant for the team under Jerod Mayo in 2024.

The Patriots needed to ensure they made the right choice to be their next head coach, and it looks like Mike Vrabel was the right one.
