A day after Brian Belichick departed, Mike Vrabel is hiring a veteran safeties coach who worked with him in Tennessee

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is adding another one of his former Titans assistants to New England's defensive coaching staff, reportedly hiring Scott Booker for an unspecified role.

For the first time in 25 years, the Patriots will have a new-look defense. Here’s what to expect out of Terrell Williams and Mike Vrabel’s unit.

Vrabel hired McMillan in 2021 as a defensive assistant where he primarily worked with Titans outside linebackers. In 2022, he worked as a defensive line assistant coach alongside Williams, who was named the Patriots defensive coordinator. McMillan continued to work with Titans defensive lineman in 2023.

Vrabel has a mix of experience and youth on his Patriots coaching staff, including Doug Marrone, Thomas Brown and Ashton Grant on offense.

The New England Patriots formalized the hiring of John Streicher, who NFL insider Albert Breer described as Mike Vrabel’s “right-hand man.” Streicher spent six seasons with the Tennessee Titans under Vrabel in a multitude of roles, including assistant, football development and director of football administration.

Mike Vrabel and the Patriots are starting the process of building their coaching staff. Here are all of the latest updates.

Mike Vrabel joined the Patriots as head coach in a throwback to the Bill Belichick era. But his tenure won't involve Belichick's son, Brian.

Doug Marrone and Thomas Brown are reportedly set to join New England's staff on offense with Josh McDaniels. The post Mike Vrabel reportedly to add Doug Marrone, other former head coaches to his Patriots staff appeared first on Boston.

Things could change drastically for the New England Patriots, but it seems Mike Vrabel, alongside Terrell Williams, will implement a tried-and-true defensive plan for the team that has already been proven to work.
