The New England Patriots are aiming to return to their dynastic roots. After an unsuccessful first season without either Tom Brady or Bill Belichick, the organization is pulling out all the stops to reclaim its winning tradition. Following the appointment of Mike Vrabel as the new head coach and the return of Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator, the Patriots have chosen their next defensive coordinator, as reported by a leading league insider.

Fans have taken to social media to express their reactions to the hire. One fan tweeted, “Patriots Coaching Staff is getting Stronger while making your opponents staffs Weaker! Excellent Choice.” Another commented on the state of other teams, “Do lions have anyone left to help Campbell out? And Jags finally fired Baalke after they lost out on their top 2 candidates. I mean, 500k fans knew he needed to be fired with Doug and Shad waited until he missed out on Ben Johnson and then a dude who only had 1 offer turned down.” Excitement was in the air as one Patriots fan exclaimed, “DEFENSE ABOUT TO GET THAT MEAN STREAK BACK.” Meanwhile, another fan witted, “Dawg the lions coaching staff is about to be just dan Campbell.” With these changes, it will be intriguing to see if the new staff can revitalize New England’s fortunes.
