Former NFL coach Mike Vrabel is reportedly a top candidate to lead the New England Patriots, with several sources claiming he’s been identified as the team’s preferred hire. However, there may be a snag – current head coach Jerod Mayo is expected to remain at the helm for now.
According to insider reports, some league insiders believe Vrabel plans to use the New York Jets coaching position as leverage in pursuit of his dream job with the Patriots. The Patriots don’t currently have an opening, but recent performances by the team and off-field controversies have raised questions about Mayo’s future at the helm.
Despite initial speculation that Mayo might be let go after one season, top NFL insiders now suggest he’ll stick around. If Kraft decides to part ways with Mayo, hiring Vrabel as the next head coach would make perfect sense for the Patriots organization.
