The timer is on for six teams with one final destination. The post Rejected by Lions’ Aaron Glenn, Robert Kraft’s Timeline for Final Patriots HC Decision Revealed by National Reporter appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Robert Kraft had some interesting comments when it comes to the Patriots rumored interest in Mike Vrabel.

Here we are — one year, one overmatched one-and-done Belichick successor, and you’re right back where you started from last January.

Ex-Patriot and former Titans CB provides the lowdown on Mike Vrabel as a head coach and why he's the 'perfect fit' for the Patriots.

Bill Belichick succession plan blew up in one year. Now bringing back another franchise icon is the only move that makes sense.

Vrabel may be the top candidate, but here are some of the other options the Patriots are likely to consider after parting with Mayo.
