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.

Speaking to Patriots.com, Mike Vrabel mapped out some of the plans that Josh McDaniels has for Drake Maye and the offense.

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel is clearly a fan of the way Josh McDaniels sees the game. It’s for that reason that he hired him to return for a third stint as offensive coordinator for the Patriots.

The @Patriots have formalized the hire of Mike Vrabel’s right-hand man, John “Stretch” Streicher, per sources. He’ll be New England’s vice president of football operations and strategy. Streicher adds to the list of brand-new talents the Patriots have brought since Vrabel's hiring to help guide New England in returning to their premier level.

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.

The Patriots will not get longtime assistant Mike Pellegrino back for the 2025 season. Pellegrino was part of two Super Bowl-winning teams.

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.

Two-time NFL head coach Doug Marrone, who most recently was at Boston College as a Senior Analyst for Football Strategy, is joining the Patriots' coaching staff. Marrone's specific position is TBA. His history/background w/ OL play is notable. (h/t @PatsPro_21, @JPasteris_NFL)

The Patriots watched one coach land in Green Bay today and are reportedly targeting a Colts assistant to join their new staff.

DeMarcus Covington, who had been with the New England Patriots since 2017, will not be back with the organization this season. After serving as the team’s defensive coordinator in 2024, the 35-year-old has joined the Green Bay Packers as their new defensive line coach.

According to ESPN, the Green Bay Packers are hiring DeMarcus Covington to be their defensive line coach. Last season was Covington’s first as the Patriots defensive coordinator.
