New England Patriots overhaul coaching staff under Mike Vrabel, with key positions up in the air.

The New England Patriots are overhauling their coaching staff under new head coach Mike Vrabel. Six assistant coaches, including tight ends, running backs, and wide receivers coaches, will not return. The future of key staff like offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt and defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington is uncertain, with Covington interviewing for another position. The Patriots struggled offensively last season, ranking near the bottom in points and yards per game.
