Vrabel stood out among a competitive group of candidates, which included notable coaches like Mike Macdonald of the Seattle Seahawks, Ben Johnson of the Chicago Bears, and Liam Coen of the Jacksonville Jaguars. His ability to drive the Patriots to an impressive 10-win improvement was pivotal in his selection.
