It\u2019s not terribly surprising given Quinn was one of Mike Vrabel\u2019s special teams coaches with the Titans, but his return hadn\u2019t been reported until the Patriots coach revealed it on WBZ. Quinn joined New England\u2019s staff last season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"WNRIVYQQ6FFJRMOGJXSKOBWTKE\">\u201cI like the dynamic in there (on special teams),\u201d Vrabel said in an interview that will air on Sunday. \u201cI know Tom, he was with us in Tennessee. Veteran coach who had done it. Jeremy is young, exciting, and a great teacher. He\u2019s creative. I think through the interview process and the product they had on the field, it led me to that decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"4DCD3ZNTPRGBDEYQMALBSG2CNI\">Vrabel has largely overhauled Jerod Mayo\u2019s coaching staff, but it makes sense that Springer and Quinn are sticking around. After woeful performances on special teams in 2022 and 2023, things stabilized last season and Brenden Schooler blossomed into a First Team All-Pro.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ID4IPWACMFEGVOQ2DQTK56Y7ME\">Quinn, 56, has almost two decades of coaching experience in the NFL, most notably serving as the Giants special teams coordinator from 2007-17. So yes, Quinn is a two-time champion, twice coordinating special teams in Super Bowl wins over the Patriots.<\/p>\n<p id=\"W35GOEDRJBERFKMXP7BWRU67O4\">Thus far, Springer and Quinn are the only known members of Mayo\u2019s staff that will be returning next season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeremy Springer isn&#8217;t the only Patriots assistant that will return in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11702,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11701","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 -
