The Patriots are one of the lucky teams this offseason not having to deal with a head coach search for the first time in three years, and boy, are they fortunate. The decision to bring in Mike Vrabel has already paid off, and although there are some reputable names now available for teams to hire, there's no reason for New England to regret their decision.
They might, however, have to deal with some of their immediate competition hiring one of the most notable coaches available, like John Harbaugh, whom the Ravens fired after 18 seasons. And now, the latest rumors suggest an established coach could join the division, depending on how ownership views his future with his current team.
