This marks Vrabel's return to New England — only this time he won't be roughing up players between the lines. He'll be on the sidelines, and the hope is that he will stay for years to come. He's gone from free agency to the headman in Foxboro, but this past year, he's still been around the game while working as a consultant for Cleveland. Before that, he had a five-year in Tennessee, earning a 54-45 record. He got that job because of his work with the Houston Texans and Ohio State Buckeyes.
Vrabel played linebacker for the Patriots from 2001 to 2008, winning three Super Bowls in 2002, 2004 and 2005.Former players and fans are celebrating his return to the team. "He will be the clear defining leader, and I don't think he takes this job unless that was expressed to him, that he will have control over this roster, over big decisions being made," former backup quarterback Matt Cassel said.More Patriots news
