Mike Vrabel joined the Patriots as head coach in a throwback to the Bill Belichick era. But his tenure won't involve Belichick's son, Brian.

Speaking on his podcast with Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski relayed a time where Mike Vrabel "outplayed" Bill Belichick as head coach.

Brian Belichick’s time in Foxborough has come to an end. The safeties coach — and son of Bill Belichick — won’t return in 2025, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss. Belichick started his career as a scouting assistant in 2016 and flipped to coaching in New England the next season.
