Bill O'Brien has his hands full as head coach of the Boston College Eagles, but he's feeling extremely upbeat about the Patriots under new head coach Mike Vrabel.

New Patriots coach Mike Vrabel's coaching staff will have several familiar faces from his time with the Tennessee Titans. Of the 26 members of the staff announced by New England on Wednesday, 11 worked with Vrabel during his six-year tenure in Tennessee from 2018 to 2023.

Wilfork described Vrabel as an outspoken “alpha,” one that embraces an “old school” mentality and isn’t going to shy away from doing things his way.
