Patriots announce Mike Vrabel's coaching staff, which includes four holdovers

The Patriots announced Mike Vrabel’s coaching staff for 2024.

Vrabel, who spent six seasons as the head coach of the Titans, hired nine coaches who were with him in Tennessee. Defensive coordinator Terrell Williams, running backs coach Tony Dews, assistant offensive line coach Jason Houghtaling, defensive line coach Clinton McMillan, linebackers coach Zak Kuhr, safeties coach Scott Booker, defensive backs coach Jason Hamilton, defensive assistant Milton Patterson and assistant special teams coach Tom Quinn have reunited with Vrabel.

Four coaches were rehired from Jerod Mayo staff, with special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer, assistant offensive line coach Robert Kugler, Quinn and Ben McAdoo agreeing to stay. Mayo’s brother, Deron Mayo, also remains as the team’s strength and conditioning coach.

“The goal in filling out the 2025 Patriots coaching staff was to identify loyal, trustworthy coaches who are diverse in background, ideas, experiences and systems,” Vrabel said in a statement. “We will be aligned in our vision to teach and develop our players with creativity, consistency and an attention to detail with the major goal of developing relationships that stretch beyond the field and meeting rooms.

“We are going to build a program that players, coaches and staff want to be a part of, protect and be proud of. There are so many great people in this building who help our players and the coaching staff on a daily basis. I am excited to work side by side with them to build this program.”
