The New England Patriots, following the appointment of Mike Vrabel as their new head coach, are in the process of reshaping their coaching staff. As of now, the team has conducted only two interviews for the offensive coordinator position, with yet no candidates interviewed for defensive coordinator, although potential names are surfacing.
ESPN's Mike Reiss has pointed towards Terrell Williams, the defensive line coach from the Detroit Lions, as a strong candidate for the defensive coordinator role, given his previous experience under Vrabel with the Titans. Meanwhile, Bobby King from the Philadelphia Eagles has also been mentioned as a potential hire.
On the offensive side, former Patriots OC Josh McDaniels appears to be a front-runner, with other candidates like Thomas Brown of the Chicago Bears and Marcus Brady of the Los Angeles Chargers also in the mix. Reports indicate that Vrabel may retain Jeremy Springer as special teams coordinator, and there are expectations for various hires from his tenure with the Titans.
