Williams will reunite with coach Mike Vrabel in New England after working on Vrabel's staff for six years with the Titans.

Mike Vrabel is acting quickly to fill out his coaching staff with the New England Patriots, reportedly hiring Detroit Lions defensive line coach

Detroit Lions defensive line coach Terrell Williams is leaving his position with the franchise to become New England's new defensive coordinator under Vrabel, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.

FOXBORO -- The New England Patriots are hiring former Detroit Lions defensive line coach Terrell Williams to be their new defensive coordinator, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Mike Reiss.

Mike Vrabel landed the "best" in the league, Detroit Lions D-line coach Terrell Williams, as New England Patriots defensive coordinator.

The New England Patriots have hired former Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels as their new offensive coordinator — his third stint in that role with the team, but his first since the departure of longtime mentor Bill Belichick.

The Patriots announced that McDaniels has been hired as the offensive coordinator on new head coach Mike Vrabel's staff on Wednesday. It is the third time that McDaniel has served in the role as he had two stints working for Bill Belichick and was part of six Super Bowl winners in New England.

The 50-year-old Williams coached defensive line for Mike Vrabel for six seasons in Tennessee, also serving as the team’s assistant head coach for Vrabel’s final season.

Terrell Williams spent six seasons working with new Patriots coach Mike Vrabel before coming to Detroit last winter.
