After a season of shoving Browns tight ends around, racing Jameis Winston in training camp and putting swim moves on Dawand Jones in his new role at left tackle, Mike Vrabel has flown the Browns coop as a consultant to become head coach of the New England Patriots.

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel is beginning to build the coaching staff. While there’s no clear timeline for finalizing the staff, Vrabel did indicate that former longtime Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was on his list of candidates.

In January 2020, the Mike Vrabel-led Tennessee Titans ended Tom Brady's time in New England by upsetting the Patriots in the wild-card round, 20-13. Five years later, Vrabel was introduced as the 16th head coach of the Patriots.
