The New England Patriots are retaining special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer, according to a report from NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport on Monday.
Springer had the second overall special teams unit in the NFL, per statistics from Pro Football Focus. So it would make sense that coach Mike Vrabel would like to retain that success on the team.
Springer came over to the Patriots organization from the Los Angeles Rams. Before the Rams, he spent time coaching college football at UTEP, Texas A&M, Arizona and Marshall. He was a graduate assistant at UTEP and served in special teams roles for the other programs during his time with them.
The #Patriots are retaining special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer, sources say, as Mike Vrabel hangs on to a top assistant from the previous regime. He had the No. 2 unit per @PFF.

Vrabel has been hard at work interviewing candidates and assembling the newly constructed coaching staff for the team. Springer sticking around is a positive considering the success the Patriots had on special teams this season.
