Former Buccaneers OC Byron Leftwich is still looking to return to coaching in the NFL and has had two interviews so far this offseason. He interviewed for the Patriots head coaching job before they hired Mike Vrabel and has also interviewed for the Seahawks’ offensive coordinator position.

They paid attention to the Bucs offense, which averaged nearly 30 points per game this season. They were impressed by the 40-plus touchdown passes and how a former No. 1 pick at quarterback led his team to another NFC South title.

The Raiders didn’t simply forget to interview Mike Vrabel before he landed with the Patriots. Vrabel told his former Patriots teammate Tom Brady — who owns a minority stake in the Raiders — that he probably was going to end up back in New England, according to an NFL Network report.

The Patriots turned to Vrabel after their quick coaching search wrapped up just seven days after the team fired Jerod Mayo.

Former Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who was in the Patriots’ organization with Vrabel from 2001 to 2008, is considered a candidate for the job. It would be McDaniels’ third go-around with the title.

The Patriots hurried a coaching search and hired one of their former Super Bowl-winning linebackers to right the wayward franchise. Don’t stop if you’ve heard this before. Yes, it happened last year,

Former NFL GM Rod Graves criticized the Patriots' usage of the Rooney Rule by interviewing two black candidates before hiring Mike Vrabel.
