The Patriots and Bill Belichick agreed to part ways in January 2024 after the Patriots only appeared in one playoff game in the four seasons after Tom Brady’s exit.
Shortly after Belichick’s departure, Jerrod Mayo was named the Patriots’ head coach. Mayo was dismissed after the 2024 season finale, and Vrabel took over. Vrabel was the Tennessee Titans’ head coach from 2018-23 and spent the 2024 season as a consultant with the Cleveland Browns.
