Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, EVP of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf, and VP of Player Personnel Ryan Cowden check in from the Senior Bowl.
Mobile, Ala. – The head coach Mike Vrabel era is off and running in New England, with coaching staff hires and other additions to the Patriots football operations coming to light.
As the focus turns to building the 2025 roster, Coach Vrabel led a large contingent down to Mobile, Alabama, for this year’s Senior Bowl, a college All-Star game that showcases some of the top talents in the 2025 NFL Draft. Along with the Pats head coach, EVP of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf and VP of Player Personnel Ryan Cowden are directing the personnel department in Mobile this week.
On Tuesday, New England’s top decision-makers spoke to Patriots.com about Coach Vrabel’s coaching staff, the scouting process as they adapt to Coach Vrabel’s philosophies, and other hot-button topics around the team.
Starting with the two new confirmed additions to the coaching staff, the Patriots announced the hirings of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and defensive coordinator Terrell Williams, as well as retaining special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer last week. Springer is the only holdover from last year’s staff, with Coach Vrabel keeping Springer and veteran assistant Tom Quinn to maintain continuity in the kicking game.
