Mike Vrabel, head coach of the New England Patriots, has made notable staff changes upon his arrival, retaining only a few assistants like Ben McAdoo. McAdoo, previously a senior offensive assistant, is transitioning to the defensive side of the ball in 2025—an unprecedented move in his 20-year coaching career. His exact responsibilities and title are uncertain, but the team aims to leverage his extensive offensive experience to enhance defensive strategies, particularly in identifying weaknesses during games.
"According to a report from Mike Giardi of the Boston Sports Journal, the Patriots are moving McAdoo to the defensive side of the ball this year."
"McAdoo has coached exclusively on offense during his time in the pros, and also did not hold a defensive title as a high school and college coach in the 1990s and early 2000s."
