Reports: Patriots fire OL coach Dave DeGuglielmo

Yesterday, Tom Brady was knocked down. Today, Dave DeGuglielmo was knocked out.

The Patriots reportedly fired their offensive line coach today after their 20-18 loss to the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game. The Patriots offensive line allowed Brady to get sacked four times, his highest total in a playoff game since their 2010 loss to the Jets, and Brady was hit on 25 of 60 drop-backs, which was an absurdly high total.

DeGuglielmo took over in 2014 after Dante Scarnecchia retired. It hasn't been an easy two years for DeGuglielmo because the Patriots have lost three captains during his tenure.
