Mike Vrabel is considered the frontrunner for the Patriots head coaching position, while Ben Johnson, known for his play-calling abilities, is seen as a strong contender but faces challenges adapting to a head coach role.
When the New England Patriots relieved Jerod Mayo of his duties as head coach on Sunday, two coaches immediately emerged as candidates to replace him: Mike Vrabel and Ben Johnson .
