A report last weekend indicated that former Texans head coach Bill O’Brien is a leading option to join the Patriots as their offensive coordinator after the end of the season, but O’Brien gave no hint about his plans on Wednesday.
O’Brien said that he hasn’t been in contact with the Patriots since visiting the team in the spring and that any potential conversations with NFL teams “will take place when they take place.” For now, he says getting Alabama ready to face Kansas State in the Sugar Bowl is his priority.
“I wish them well in their last, however many games they have left,” O’Brien said, via Mike Rodak of AL.
