The New England Patriots have found their next head coach. And it's a familiar face. The club has hired Mike Vrabel, who won three Super Bowl championships with the franchise as a player, to lead the organization as its head coach going forward according to CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones and later made official by the Patriots.

The New England Patriots fired Jerod Mayo on Sunday, immediately after the head coach finished his first season as Bill Belichick's successor. The move may or may not have been made with another ex-Belichick disciple in mind,
