Ex-NFL players explain why Van Pelt is ‘really good hire' for Pats originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Alex Van Pelt will be one of the New England Patriots' most important pieces when they begin the post-Bill Belichick era next season.
In early February, new head coach Jerod Mayo and the Patriots hired Van Pelt to replace Bill O'Brien as offensive coordinator. Van Pelt previously served as the Cleveland Browns' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2020 to 2023. He was fired after the Browns' playoff loss to the Houston Texans.
