Rob Gronkowski believes Vrabel, McDaniels could coach together with Patriots

"I was surprised by that," Gronkowski said. "Rookie head coach, the roster that he was handed wasn't that prominent - it's tough. It's a tough situation in New England. Obviously Mr. Kraft didn't see Jerod Mayo being that culture builder that he was hoping to be over the last season."

"Obviously Mr Kraft didn't see Jerod Mayo being that culture builder that he was hoping to be over the last season, and obviously Mr. Kraft has a plan as well going forward."

"Probably hoping to get Mike Vrabel. There's some rumbling out there that Josh McDaniels may come back as well as offensive coordinator."

While Vrabel has been floated as a potential target for New England even before Mayo was fired, McDaniels is a bit of a surprising mention."
