The New England Patriots are primed to potentially hire back-to-back former linebackers with the team as their head coach. After letting go of Jerod Mayo following a 4-13 campaign

Former Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel interviewed with the New England Patriots for the team's head coach opening, the Patriots announced Thursday.

The New England Patriots are reportedly not planning on hiring a search firm to conduct their head coaching interview process. Robert Kraft and Jonathan Kraft will be conducting the process themselves with others helping, per NFL insider Albert Breer on Monday.

Former Patriots and Titans cornerback Logan Ryan explains why he thinks Mike Vrabel would be "a perfect fit" as Patriots head coach.

After enjoying one of the lengthiest periods of coaching stability under Bill Belichick, the Patriots are going the one-and-done rout with Jerod Mayo.

After seeing Mayo overwhelmed as a rookie head coach, by the rigors of that NFL role, hiring another rookie, Ben Johnson, no matter how promising he may appear, is a non-starter. The Patriots will hire Mike Vrabel and it''s the right thing to do.

Detroit Lions DC Aaron Glenn denied the Patriots' request to interview him for their vacant head coaching position, opening the door for Mike Vrabel to return to New England

Shortly after the New England Patriots completed their interview with Mike Vrabel, news broke that another potential candidate for their head coach job had declined an interview: Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn.
