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.

The New England Patriots and head coach Mike Vrabel have been filling out their new staff one by one over the past week, hoping to build a worthwhile foundation to help lead the fresh regime. Among the names who were brought into the fold is former Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.

Mike Vrabel said he's excited to work with his new offensive and defensive coordinators, in his first interview since hiring Josh McDaniels and Terrell Williams.
