The New England Patriots will meet with Mike Vrabel, their top choice for head coach, on Thursday. According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, the team is also interviewing Liam Coen, offensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Brian Flores, defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings. Additionally, Detroit Lions’ Ben Johnson is scheduled for an interview.
Vrabel has been viewed as the favorite to land the Patriots’ vacant head coaching position, but Robert Kraft’s reaction suggests he may be hesitant about making a decision. The team’s search for a new head coach is part of a broader effort to find the right fit.
