Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Alabama OC/QB coach Bill O’Brien has returned to New England and is being named the Patriots offensive coordinator, sources tell @ClowESPN and me. O’Brien was a Patriots’ assistant coach from 2007-2011, and now returns to coach Mac Jones, whom he worked with at Alabama. |
you mean it won't be Joe Judge? :-)
Woulda made no difference, but just curious.

Do we know who they interviewed?
Bills will still be a solid team, but their SB aspirations and slightly gaudy win totals last few years, are going to require some changes there and maybe some season to season fortunes to get a shot to big dance, not sure they're guaranteed to be lead dog every year next 3-4 years.
I don’t dispute it’s a good move, but it’s so predictable. Belichick had the opportunity to cast a wide net and interview a bunch of different candidates, instead he hired the guy he already knows. So Belichick can still oversee everything.
It reminds me of the Giants hiring Gettleman. At the time he was a solid candidate after cleaning up a messy cap situation in Carolina. And despite inheriting a lot of the roster, he GM’d a 15-1 Super Bowl appearance for the Panthers. Mara knew him already.
It might work, but very predictable.
But in terms of a coaching upgrade from 2022? Big time.
