Patriots Better Off Hiring Ben Johnson Or Mike Vrabel?

The Patriots have a decision to make regarding their next head coach, and all signs point to it coming down to between two men.

New England looks primed to land one of the two most coveted options on the market: former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel or Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Vrabel makes all the sense in the world given his ties to the organization and experience as a head coach. Johnson is built from the same cloth as recent success stories Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan and Kevin O’Connell — while also having ties to some decent names that could come in and join his staff.

NESN’s Travis Thomas and George Balekji got together to run through their qualifications on the “Foxboro Rush” podcast on Wednesday, each giving their pick as to who should become the next head man at One Patriot Place.

NESN’s audience had differing opinions as to who should be selected, with the majority of commenters having strong opinions regarding Johnson and Vrabel. It’s about what you’d expect from a bunch of internet commenters, but notable nonetheless.
