The wounds from the AFC Championship Game are still healing, but a fresh one has opened. It's not every day that one of your coaches decides to take an opportunity with a division rival that has tormented your franchise for decades,
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.
Vrabel has a mix of experience and youth on his Patriots coaching staff, including Doug Marrone, Thomas Brown and Ashton Grant on offense.
The Patriots added a defensive backs coach to Mike Vrabel’s staff Wednesday, following the departures of cornerbacks coach Mike Pellegrino and safeties coach Brian Belichick on Tuesday.
The New England Patriots are expected to hire former Buffalo Bills nickel coach/senior defensive assistant Scott Booker for a role on the coaching staff. This was reported by CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz on Wednesday.
The Patriots wasted no time in hiring Mike Vrabel as their new head coach, and he’s already building the staff that he hopes will help him pull New England out of the dredges in 2025. According to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com, the Patriots are hiring former NFL head coach and offensive coordinator Doug Marrone.
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)
Since then, New England has brought on several coaches to work under Vrabel in 2025, and they're reportedly adding another, as CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz reported on Wednesday that the Patriots are expected to hire Buffalo Bills nickels coach and senior defensive assistant Scott Booker.
The Buffalo Bills are reportedly set to lose nickel cornerback coach/senior defensive assistant Scott Booker to the New England Patriots. CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz was the first to report the news. Booker joined the Bills coaching staff in 2024.
It looks like the former Cowboys coach will be following in the footsteps of previous high-profile sideline bosses, clearing the way for one of his protege.
