The wounds from the AFC Championship Game are still healing, but a fresh one has opened. It's not every day that one of your coaches decides to take an opportunity with a division rival that has tormented your franchise for decades,

The Miami Dolphins will be facing two new head coaches in the AFC East in the 2025 season: the New England Patriots’ Mike Vrabel and New York Jets’ Aaron Glenn. Interestingly, both coaches are former players for the respective teams that hired them.

Mike Vrabel is adding another veteran coach to his offensive staff. According to a source, the Patriots are hiring former NFL head coach, offensive coordinator, and veteran offensive line coach Doug Marrone. The 60-year-old coach is best known for being a head coach with the Buffalo Bills (2013-2014) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2016-2020).

The New England Patriots are expected to hire former Buffalo Bills nickel coach/senior defensive assistant Scott Booker for a role on the coaching staff. This was reported by CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz on Wednesday.

While Mayo was seen as an easy-going, player-friendly coach, Vrabel is viewed as a much harder leader, and it's his personality that's led former Patriots defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel to compare Vrabel to former Patriots head coach and NFL Hall of Famer Bill Parcells.

Since then, New England has brought on several coaches to work under Vrabel in 2025, and they're reportedly adding another, as CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz reported on Wednesday that the Patriots are expected to hire Buffalo Bills nickels coach and senior defensive assistant Scott Booker.

The Patriots wasted no time in hiring Mike Vrabel as their new head coach, and he’s already building the staff that he hopes will help him pull New England out of the dredges in 2025. According to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com, the Patriots are hiring former NFL head coach and offensive coordinator Doug Marrone.

The Patriots added a defensive backs coach to Mike Vrabel’s staff Wednesday, following the departures of cornerbacks coach Mike Pellegrino and safeties coach Brian Belichick on Tuesday.

The Patriots roster needs some serious work, so let's check out three moves they should look to make this offseason.

He will try to become the fourth quarterback to win the NFL’s ultimate prize as a starting quarterback after losing his first Super Bowl start.
