The last two years have been abysmal for the Patriots to the point where Robert Kraft has anointed his team's aggregate 8-26 record over that span as the worst of his three-decade ownership. Things had to change, and the 2024 season was barely over when Kraft decided to hire three-time Super Bowl champ Mike Vrabel as the team's head coach.
The coaching staff was the first thing that needed to be changed, and the combination of Vrabel and Josh McDaniels is the right duo to ensure Drake Maye's development as a franchise quarterback continues to trend in a positive direction.
