Exploring potential Patriots offensive coordinator candidates to replace Bill O’Brien

For the fourth straight year, the New England Patriots are officially back in the offensive coordinator market.

After Bill O’Brien departed New England for Ohio State Thursday night, Jerod Mayo will have the all-important job of finding his offensive coordinator to try and help get the Patriots’ offense back on track.

As New England’s first-time shot caller will begin his interviews soon, he must first decide to either keep a similar offensive system as to what’s been run in Foxboro over the last two decades or evolve schemes.

Depending on his decision, here are eight candidates for New England’s offensive coordinator vacancy.
