The New England Patriots hired Mike Vrabel on January 12, 2025. Now, after a mere seven games into his first season, Vrabel is crashing the NFL party and is rated by CBS Sports as the best of the seven new 2025 NFL coaches thus far.
It was lauded as a great hire at the time, although maybe a year late. Regardless, Vrabel is already proving his mettle. He was the 2021 NFL Coach of the Year. Now, after just seven games, he's already in contention for being the NFL Coach of the Year for a second time in 2025.
