"The 2025 New England Patriots are new in more ways than one. Yet no way is more important than the man at the top, Mike Vrabel, who sets the tone, and that tone is all about energy. Vrabel's energy is unbounded and is visible in every game, as he motivates his team with his animated sideline manner. That's helping instill a winning mentality in a once-great franchise that had lost its way."
"The new Head Coach is his own man with his own ways. A former player, he knows what he wanted to see from his Head Coach, and now, in his second iteration in command, he's setting his own standards for how a Head Coach both supports and motivates his players. And so far - so good. The 2024, 4-13 remodeled Patriots are 7-2 to start 2025. In Patriot Nation, what's not to like?"
"Vrabel is seen not only patrolling the sidelines during games but even accompanying his players as they make their way downfield. It's a look that hasn't been seen in Foxborough in decades. His two predecessors weren't so inclined, but Vrabel is, and his players appreciate the change. The top guy wants his players to be as animated as he is. The transformation has already resulted in an energetic, if imperfect, team that doesn't yet know just how good it can be."
Mike Vrabel was hired by owner Robert Kraft on January 12, 2025 to run the New England Patriots. Vrabel brings unbounded, infectious energy that shows in animated sideline behavior and by accompanying players downfield. Players appreciate the increased engagement and the team displays a more energetic mentality. Vrabel is a former player in his second stint as a head coach and has implemented his own standards for supporting and motivating players. A 2024 roster that finished 4-13 began 2025 with a 7-2 start, including a six-game winning streak, after Vrabel remodeled the team from a bottom-of-the-NFL roster.
