New Patriots coach Mike Vrabel's coaching staff will have several familiar faces from his time with the Tennessee Titans. Of the 26 members of the staff announced by New England on Wednesday, 11 worked with Vrabel during his six-year tenure in Tennessee from 2018 to 2023.

Vrabel joined the Patriots staff after a 14-year NFL career that included three Super Bowl wins, an All-Pro selection and a Pro Bowl nomination. Since retiring in 2010, he's spent 14 years as a coach, including six seasons as the head coach of the Tennesee Titans.

NEW ORLEANS — If only Mike Vrabel knew what A.J. Brown was actually writing in his notebook. The newly hired Patriots head coach and the Eagles receiver have a tight bond nowadays, but when Vrabel’s Titans drafted Brown with a second-round pick in 2019, it wasn’t all smooth sailing during team meetings.
