New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel<\/a> is willing to stake a lot on winning the 2026 Super Bowl<\/a>, but maybe not as much as he’s previously implied.\n<\/p>\n The 50-year-old coach, who won three Super Bowl rings while playing as a linebacker for the Patriots in the early aughts, has not yet won the title during his coaching career.\n<\/p>\n He has a chance when the Patriots face off against the Seattle Seahawks during Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Feb. 8.\n<\/p>\n Mike Vrabel on Jan. 13, 2025, in Foxborough, Mass.<\/p>\n Billie Weiss\/Getty<\/p>\n Vrabel has been coaching in the NFL since 2014, and in 2019, he revealed just how desperately he wanted to win a ring while serving as a coach of the Tennessee Titans.\n<\/p>\n During an appearance on the Bussin’ with the Boys<\/a> podcast that year, he told hosts\u00a0Taylor Lewan\u00a0and\u00a0Will Compton that he was so ready for a win that he’d be willing to cut off his penis.\n<\/p>\n \u201cBeen married 20 years. Yeah, probably,\u201d he told them, jokingly adding, “You guys will be married for 20 years one day. You won’t need it.”\n<\/p>\n As he heads to the Super Bowl in his first year of coaching the Patriots, he was asked if he still felt the same way during a Tuesday, Feb. 3, interview on the same podcast<\/a>. Now, he isn’t quite as willing to sacrifice his whole appendage.\n<\/p>\n “I mean, I’d probably cut it in half. Leave her six,” he joked, referring to his wife of more than 20 years, Jen Vrabel<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n The Vince Lombardi Trophy photographed on Feb. 02, 2026 in San Jose, Calif.<\/p>\n Chris Graythen\/Getty\u00a0<\/p>\n
