Mike Vrabel uninterested in Patriots’ disastrous 2024 campaign: ‘Why the f–k would I care’
NY Post
New Patriots coach Mike Vrabel isn’t here for a history lesson about the recent pitfalls that have plagued the Super Bowl-winning franchise.
When addressing the team in the first installment of the “Forged in Foxborough” web series, the former Patriots linebacker made it clear the focus is on the now and not what happened a season ago, when New England fell to a dismal 4-13 under first-year coach Jerod Mayo, who was fired in January.
“Somebody asked me, ‘Are you worried about what went wrong last year?’ Why the f–k would I care about what happened last year?” Vrabel said, as transcribed by NFL.com. “I’m worried about what’s going to go right today and tomorrow and the next day. We’re not worried about what went wrong. We’re focused on what’s going to go right.”
Not a whole lot went right for the Patriots last year, which marked the first season since 1999 that Bill Belichick wasn’t at the helm.
Despite opening the season with a 16-10 road upset against the Bengals, the Patriots spiraled by dropping six straight, including a crushing 32-16 defeat to the Jaguars across the pond in London that resulted in Mayo calling the team “soft.”
Mayo firing rumors only grew from there, with the team skidding to 3-13 by late December.
