Mike Vrabel, Patriots Reportedly Will Retain This Coordinator
There apparently will be at least one holdover on Mike Vrabel’s coaching staff next season.
The New England Patriots are retaining special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer, as reported by NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport on Monday.
ESPN’s Mike Reiss wrote Sunday “momentum seemed to be building” toward Vrabel keeping Springer.

Springer spent the 2024 campaign in New England after he was hired by recently-fired head coach Jerod Mayo.
The energetic and enthusiastic Springer arguably was the best coordinator the Patriots had to offer last season, depicted as Rapoport referenced New England’s special teams ranked second in the NFL, per Pro Football Focus.
The fact Springer has top assistant Tom Quinn on his staff likely helped, too. Vrabel worked with Quinn during his tenure with the Tennessee Titans.
