On Thursday, they unveiled their coaching staff for the 2025 season including not just head coach Jerod Mayo and his already-known coordinators, but also a big group of position coaches and assistants.<\/p>\n<p id=\"fxdZZc\">How that staff will perform in 2025 and whether it will be able to improve New England\u2019s record after back-to-back 4-13 seasons will be seen. For the moment, let\u2019s grade the staff given what we know about the coaches in question as well as the state of the Patriots and their roster.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"BsE2Rv\">Patriots 2025 coaching staff<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/chFR_zVqhV9rRDuinnj0xWe1lKM=\/0x285:2713x2072\/1200x800\/filters:focal(1013x664:1447x1098)\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_image\/image\/73889898\/usa_today_25001076.0.jpg\" alt=\"Patriots retain Deron Mayo, hire more assistants to finalize staff - Pats  Pulpit\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"pxmPgK\"><strong>Bernd Buchmasser:<\/strong> Not every hire made by Mike Vrabel was an instant headline-grabber like Josh McDaniels returning for a third stint as Patriots offensive coordinator. However, Vrabel still managed to surround himself with an experienced staff filled with trusted companions. There were some decisions potentially inviting scrutiny further down the line \u2014 letting Mike Pellegrino and Brian Belichick go, hiring Todd Downing as receivers coach \u2014 but the overall composition of the staff looks capable. | <em><strong>B+<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"1714089515.564679\"><strong>Brian Hines:<\/strong> The Patriots opted for plenty of experience on their coaching staff \u2014 especially on the offensive side of the ball with three former head coaches. McDaniels scheme will be interesting to watch develop with West Coast coaches filling his staff, but there were some decisions easy to second guess such as hiring another inexperienced wide receiver coach and remodeling the secondary structure under defensive coordinator Terrell Williams, who\u2019s experience comes along the defensive front. | <em><strong>B<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"LCWzzC\">How would you grade the Patriots\u2019 new-look coaching staff, though?
