*Running backs coach: Tony Dews-Vrabel gave Dews his break in the NFL. He has years of big time college football coaching experience. He was most recently with the Jets. Fun fact. Dews coached the defensive line at Holy Cross in 2003.

Special teams coordinator: Jeremy Springer- Retaining Springer was important. He did a great job with the Patriots special teams last season and brought a lot of energy and passion to the position, something that was lacking. 

*Defensive assistants: Zak Kuhr, Clinton McMillan- Kuhr is rumored to be joining the Patriots as a defensive assistant. He and Vrabel go back to their time together at Ohio State in 2011 and 2012 when Kuhr was an assistant. He was with the Giants last season. 

McMillan worked for Vrabel in Tennessee during the 2021 season as a defensive assistant through the NFL’s Bill Walsh Coaching Fellowship. He worked with both the outside linebacker and the defensive line where he worked closely with new Patriots defensive coordinator Terrell Williams.
