Mike Vrabel on Arizona resort photos: ‘We never want to be the cause of a distraction’ The Patriots’ head coach met with the media on Tuesday.

Here's the full story for @patspulpit.bsky.social.

I’ve had some difficult conversations with people that I care about — my family, the organization, coaches and players. Those have been positive and productive. We believe in order to be successful on and off the field, you have to make good decisions. That includes me, that starts with me. We never want our actions to affect the team. We never want to be the cause of a distraction. There were some comments and questions that I answered for the team and with the team. We’ll keep those private and to ourselves. I care deeply about this football team and I’m excited to coach them. I also know that I’m going to attack each day with humility and focus, and what I can promise you is that my family, this organization, the team, the staff, the coaches, everybody, our fans, most importantly, will get the best version of me going forward. That’s what I know and I’m excited to do that.

Vrabel said he wanted to talk with the players first, which he did on Monday. He also didn't want this to take away from the draft.

Here is the personal part of the statement.

The Patriots have announced that head coach Mike Vrabel will address the media today.
