New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel is clearly a fan of the way Josh McDaniels sees the game. It's for that reason that he hired him to return for a third stint as offensive coordinator for the Patriots.

Vrabel has a mix of experience and youth on his Patriots coaching staff, including Doug Marrone, Thomas Brown and Ashton Grant on offense.

Mike Vrabel joined the Patriots as head coach in a throwback to the Bill Belichick era. But his tenure won't involve Belichick's son, Brian.
