Jerod Mayo was then hired, bringing aboard several new assistants while elevating others, before being unceremoniously fired after just one season. Mike Vrabel has since been hired to restart the rebuild, bringing another new staff with him.<\/p>\n<p>How will things change this time around?<\/p>\n<p>Vrabel, for one, won\u2019t be quite as tyrannical as the guy who was serving during his last stint in New England.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that if you can identify young quality control coaches \u2014 we have to have energy,\u201d Vrabel told reporters in Indianapolis on Tuesday. \u201cIt\u2019s a long season. I don\u2019t want anybody in there until midnight, coming back at four in the morning. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s healthy, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s healthy for the individual, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s healthy for their families. I think the people that benefit the least are the players\u2026 If we don\u2019t have enough people to remain efficient, sometimes people get worn down and I don\u2019t want to see that happen. We don\u2019t want people standing around and doing nothing, so we\u2019ll make sure that everyone has a job and a role on our staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New England has long been known as a place where coaches would sleep on cots to keep up with the grueling schedule set by Belichick. Vrabel is uninterested in keeping up that tradition, no matter how successful it was for those who coached him a couple of decades back.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Josh McDaniels will surely be thankful for that.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriots have undergone significant change in each of the last two offseasons, and more is coming under Mike Vrabel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15365,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15364","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 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING NEWS : Patriots&#039;
