Doug Marrone and Thomas Brown are reportedly set to join New England's staff on offense with Josh McDaniels. The post Mike Vrabel reportedly to add Doug Marrone, other former head coaches to his Patriots staff appeared first on Boston.

A coaching journey he needed to take, and the former star linebacker uniquely suited to put a faltering franchise back on track.

Coach Mike Vrabel popped up on Bourne’s screen while he was chatting with fans. Initially, it seemed as if the newly-hired Patriots head coach was randomly calling in and joining in on the fun with one of his players. However, it quickly became apparent it wasn’t Vrabel on the line once the person started to talk.

The Patriots have interviewed a Chicago Bears coach for the offensive coordinator job, a source confirmed to MassLive

Mike Vrabel and the Patriots are starting the process of building their coaching staff. Here are all of the latest updates.

Mike Vrabel continues to build out his coaching staff for the Patriots, with a lot of familiar faces reportedly joining him in New England.

Brown will serve as the tight ends coach and pass game coordinator, while Marrone’s title is still to be announced.

The Detroit Lions lost offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to the Chicago Bears this week, and are bracing to lose defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn to a head coaching gig as well.

The New England Patriots are reportedly adding yet another familiar coaching face this offseason, as Josh McDaniels makes another return to Foxborough as offensive coordinator.

Two weeks after the New England Patriots hired Mike Vrabel to be their 16th head coach in franchise history, their coaching staff appears to be close to full. On Monday, MassLive's Mark Daniels reported that Thomas Brown and Jason Houghtaling are joining Vrabel's staff for the 2025 season.
