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.

Mike Vrabel has snagged another Tennessee Titans connection. According to a source, Vrabel has added Zak Kuhr to his Patriots coaching staff. Kuhr reportedly interviewed in Foxborough on Thursday before accepting a job in New England. He was with the New York Giants last year serving as a defensive assistant.

Vrabel has a mix of experience and youth on his Patriots coaching staff, including Doug Marrone, Thomas Brown and Ashton Grant on offense.
