While the Patriots are coming off back-to-back 4-13 seasons, the new coaching staff brings renewed optimism to the franchise.

Mike Vrabel continues to build out his coaching staff for the Patriots, with a lot of familiar faces reportedly joining him in New England.

The New England Patriots replaced one former linebacker with another as their head coach. After just one year under player-turned-coach Jerod Mayo, New England opted to hire former Patriots legend Mike Vrabel as their head coach.

The New England Patriots went under quite the coaching change this offseason, with Mike Vrabel taking the reigns from Jerod Mayo. Of course, with this comes the chance that other coaches will likely not be coming back next season.

The @Patriots have formalized the hire of Mike Vrabel’s right-hand man, John “Stretch” Streicher, per sources. He’ll be New England’s vice president of football operations and strategy. Streicher adds to the list of brand-new talents the Patriots have brought since Vrabel's hiring to help guide New England in returning to their premier level.

Mike Vrabel has reportedly added a wide receivers coach to his coaching staff. According to Greg Bedard of the Boston Sports Journal, the New England Patriots are hiring Todd Downing to fill the role.

New England Patriots coaching assistant Matthew Slater will not be part of Mike Vrabel’s staff, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss. Slater served the role of special assistant to the head coach on Jerod Mayo’s staff.

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)
