Mike Vrabel, the new head coach of the New England Patriots, focuses on assembling a coaching staff with significant head-coaching experience. His team includes established figures like offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and Doug Marrone. A notable addition is Thomas Brown, who becomes the first passing-game coordinator in franchise history, highlighting Vrabel's commitment to enhancing the team's coaching talent. Brown's journey includes a rapid rise within the Chicago Bears and previous service on Sean McVay's staff with the Rams, indicating his potential contribution to the Patriots' success.
The addition of former Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown, who is the first passing-game coordinator in franchise history and will also work with tight ends, was a hire Vrabel pursued aggressively after interviewing him for the coordinator job.
Even with Vrabel's track record of running an NFL operation, the Patriots' new head coach put an emphasis on adding other experienced coaches to his staff in Foxborough.
Brown rose through the ranks quickly on a Bears team that underwent plenty of turnover in 2024.
Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has plenty of history in New England as an established play-caller - along with two (ill-fated) stints as an NFL head coach with both the Broncos and Raiders.
