He might already be getting to work on that.<\/p>\n<p>It seems Vrabel will have plenty of options available to him, especially at the offensive coordinator spot. And there\u2019s one name Patriots great Rob Gronkowski believes should be at the top of that list for Vrabel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I\u2019m Mike Vrabel, the first thing I would do is call up and dial up the number of Josh McDaniels,\u201d Gronkowski said on the FOX Sports pregame show. \u201cA familiar (face) to Patriots fans and hire him as the offensive coordinator as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Patriots fans sure are accustomed to McDaniels, who spent 18 seasons with the Patriots under Bill Belichick with 13 of those years coming as the team\u2019s offensive coordinator. He was last with the Patriots in 2021 when he got representable play out of Mac Jones before a failed stint as the Las Vegas Raiders head coach.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Whether or not McDaniels follows Vrabel back New England doesn\u2019t change Gronkowski\u2019s viewpoint of the Patriots landing Vrabel. Gronkowski thoroughly endorsed the hiring and made it sound like the Patriots are getting a coach who is the complete opposite of Jerod Mayo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis guy is going to keep everyone accountable in the organization from the coaching staff to the players. He\u2019s going to keep himself accountable and even the front office he\u2019s going to keep accountable,\u201d Gronkowski said. \u201cAnd let me tell you once again, this guy has knowledge, he has the power and he\u2019s going to be great. He knows how to discipline players.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rob Gronkowski knows what Mike Vrabel&#8217;s first order of business should be after being hired as the next head coach of the Patriots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10246,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
