A day after Brian Belichick departed, Mike Vrabel is hiring a veteran safeties coach who worked with him in Tennessee

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is adding another one of his former Titans assistants to New England's defensive coaching staff, reportedly hiring Scott Booker for an unspecified role.

The New England Patriots formalized the hiring of John Streicher, who NFL insider Albert Breer described as Mike Vrabel’s “right-hand man.” Streicher spent six seasons with the Tennessee Titans under Vrabel in a multitude of roles, including assistant, football development and director of football administration.
