Have the New England Patriots settled on a new head coach?

The team is now in negotiations with former Tennessee тιтans head coach – and long-time Patriots linebacker – Mike Vrabel, according to Fox Sports’ NFL Insider, Jordan Schultz.

Vrabel is one year removed from his own dismissal in Nashville after 54-45 over six seasons. He was fired after a 6-11 campaign in 2011.

The 4-13 Patriots previously fired first-year head coach Jerod Mayo, who had come under fire after replacing New England legend Bill Belichick before the season.
