"Vrabel deserves that and more. Not only has he coached a 50 percent reconstructed squad to 11 wins thus far and an almost certain playoff spot, but he was also the prime mover in assembling that squad. Vrabel's fingerprints were all over free agency and the draft. The contrast between 2024's offseason and this year's was pronounced. Bleacher Report commented on his coaching, and it has been terrific."
"Recent rankings of the 2025 NFL's new Head Coaches by Moe Moton of Bleacher Report have the New England Patriots Head Coach tied with Liam Coen of the Jacksonville Jaguars with an A grade. "A proven head coach from his time with the Tennessee Titans, Vrabel knows how to build a staff and team culture. He hired offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who's in his third stint with the team, to develop second-year quarterback Drake Maye, and the relationship is yielding strong results...""
Mike Vrabel has guided the New England Patriots to an 11-3 record and first place in the AFC East after consecutive 4-13 seasons. He played a central role in roster construction, reshaping roughly half the team via free agency and the draft and producing immediate results. Bleacher Report awarded Vrabel an A grade and tied him with Liam Coen among 2025 new head coaches. Vrabel hired Josh McDaniels to develop second-year quarterback Drake Maye, and Maye's play has contributed to the turnaround. A Buffalo loss denied an outright division title, leaving three games to solidify playoff positioning and Coach of the Year consideration.
