The Buffalo Bills have been dealt another blow following their AFC Championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, with assistant coach Scott Booker following Mike Vrabel to the New England Patriots
Mike Vrabel is adding another veteran coach to his offensive staff. According to a source, the Patriots are hiring former NFL head coach, offensive coordinator, and veteran offensive line coach Doug Marrone. The 60-year-old coach is best known for being a head coach with the Buffalo Bills (2013-2014) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2016-2020).
Josh McDaniels is back for a third tour of duty as the Patriots' offensive coordinator, but there are a couple of big differences from his first two stints in New England.
The New England Patriots are expected to hire former Buffalo Bills nickel coach/senior defensive assistant Scott Booker for a role on the coaching staff. This was reported by CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz on Wednesday.
While Mayo was seen as an easy-going, player-friendly coach, Vrabel is viewed as a much harder leader, and it's his personality that's led former Patriots defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel to compare Vrabel to former Patriots head coach and NFL Hall of Famer Bill Parcells.
The final report card for the 2024 New England Patriots has finally arrived and the results are tremendously unrewarding. It started with three gut-crushing defeats in humiliating fashion but concluded with a victory against the Buffalo Bills in the comforts of Gillette Stadium.
The Patriots wasted no time in hiring Mike Vrabel as their new head coach, and he’s already building the staff that he hopes will help him pull New England out of the dredges in 2025. According to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com, the Patriots are hiring former NFL head coach and offensive coordinator Doug Marrone.
He will try to become the fourth quarterback to win the NFL’s ultimate prize as a starting quarterback after losing his first Super Bowl start.
The wounds from the AFC Championship Game are still healing, but a fresh one has opened. It's not every day that one of your coaches decides to take an opportunity with a division rival that has tormented your franchise for decades,
The Patriots added a defensive backs coach to Mike Vrabel’s staff Wednesday, following the departures of cornerbacks coach Mike Pellegrino and safeties coach Brian Belichick on Tuesday.
Two-time NFL head coach Doug Marrone, who most recently was at Boston College as a Senior Analyst for Football Strategy, is joining the Patriots' coaching staff. Marrone's specific position is TBA. His history/background w/ OL play is notable. (h/t @PatsPro_21, @JPasteris_NFL)
