He received 19 of the 50 first-place votes and had a total of 302 points.<\/p>\n<p>Vrabel first won the award while leading the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/sports\/nfl\/tennessee-titans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tennessee Titans<\/a> in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Vrabel is now the seventh coach to ever win Coach of the Year for multiple franchises, joining Chuck Nox, Bill Parcells, Bruce Arians, Dan Reeves, Don Shula and George Allen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/tom-bradys-neutral-super-bowl-stance-sparks-backlash-from-patriots-robert-spillane-franchise-greats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>TOM BRADY&#8217;S NEUTRAL SUPER BOWL STANCE SPARKS BACKLASH FROM PATRIOTS&#8217; ROBERT SPILLANE AND FRANCHISE GREATS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When the Titans moved on, Vrabel didn\u2019t take a job elsewhere in the NFL. Instead, he waited a year and the Patriots moved on after just a single season under Jerod Mayo.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots had just won four games for the second straight season, and it&#8217;s their first without Bill Belichick at the helm. So, owner Robert Kraft went with another familiar face and former Super Bowl champion, this time with head coaching experience already.<\/p>\n<p>Under his tutelage this season, Vrabel led the Patriots to a 14-3 regular-season record, tied for the best record in the NFL. It\u2019s the biggest turnaround in a single season in NFL history, tied with the 1999 Indianapolis Colts and 2008 Miami Dolphins, who also saw 10-win improvements.<\/p>\n<p>Vrabel was also able to see a perfect 9-0 record on the road, including the playoffs, becoming the first NFL team in history to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Vrabel, of course, would point to his team when talking about his candidacy, but he would be right to look at quarterback Drake Maye, an MVP finalist at the NFL Honors on Thursday night with him. Maye, in just his second season, showcased why he was a top choice out of UNC with his consistency, poise and play-making abilities under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels\u2019 scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Vrabel and the Patriots are not yet complete with their 2025 NFL season. They still have one game left to play \u2014 Super Bowl LX at Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara, where Vrabel is hoping to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the first time since he last touched it as a Patriots linebacker in 2004.<\/p>\n<p><i><strong>Follow Fox News Digital\u2019s<\/strong><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FoxNewsSports_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><strong>\u00a0sports coverage on X<\/strong><\/i><\/a><i><strong>\u00a0and subscribe to<\/strong><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/newsletters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><strong>\u00a0the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter<\/strong><\/i><\/a><i><strong>.<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/mike-vrabel-wins-coach-year-after-historic-patriots-turnaround-ahead-super-bowl-lx\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/mike-vrabel-wins-coach-year-after-historic-patriots-turnaround-ahead-super-bowl-lx <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Vrabel is focused on winning his first-ever Super Bowl as a head coach, but he was already honored this week in San Francisco.
