Patriots assistant coaches ‘adding a little bit more to our plate’ after Ross Douglas’ departure

The future of the coaching staff has been a frequent topic of discussion and speculation in light of the New England Patriots’ 3-10 start this season. So far, we know of only one of its members who will not be back in 2024 — or even this week.

Co-wide receivers coach Ross Douglas left the Patriots recently to take on a job on Fran Brown’s new staff at Syracuse.

For Douglas, the move presents an opportunity to showcase himself in a different setting and in an increased role. For his former team, meanwhile, it means filling a spot on they fly.
