While Mike Vrabel is considered a top coaching candidate for the Patriots, team owner Robert Kraft seems determined to keep struggling first-year head coach Jerod Mayo. The Kraft family's relationship with Vrabel, a former Patriots player and Super Bowl champion, is strong, but whether they'll move on from Mayo after just one season remains to be seen.
Vrabel “wants” the Patriots ’ head coaching job but team owner Robert Kraft “seems intent” on retaining struggling first-year head coach Jerod Mayo ,Vrabel, the former Titans coach, will be one of the top coaches in this year’s cycle, seemingly setting up as the No.
The 3-13 Patriots will secure the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Drft with a home loss to the Bills in Week 18.While New England has been downright uncompetitive at times despite rookie quarterback Drake Maye looking like a keeper, giving just one season to the hand-picked replacement to arguably the NFL’s greatest coach would seem like a short leash, even by today’s NFL standards.
The Kraft family has a rapport with Vrabel dating to his time as a player from 2001-08 when he won three Super Bowls with the team, and the team inducted him into its Hall of Fame last year while he coached Tennessee.Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, a former Patriots reporter, noted how the Krafts would have to be working the phones if they wanted to land Vrabel since he told NBC Sports that Vrabel is the “fastest-moving train on the coaching market.”.
