Mike Vrabel had a message for fans after being introduced as the New England Patriots head coach. Patriots fans have been told to be patient during the ongoing rebuild. Vrabel understands the idea of being patient, but at the same time, he wants to field a team fans can be proud of right out of the gates.

During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, ESPN's NFL insider Adam Schefter discussed Vrabel's return to the franchise and indicated that executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf was going to report to Vrabel. In short, as Schefter put it, "Vrabes is the man," in New England, when McAfee asked about the front-office hierarchy.

FOXBOROUGH — Mike Vrabel won three Super Bowl rings as a player for the Patriots. None of those were on his fingers on Monday afternoon at Gillette Stadium.
