Jerod Mayo has hired another experienced coach to his staff.
Ben McAdoo, a one-time head coach of the New York Giants who spent time with seven NFL teams over the course of his career, will join the New England Patriots as a senior offensive assistant. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo was first to report the news.
McAdoo, 46, becomes the second coach added to the Patriots offense so far this offseason. He is joining new coordinator Alex Van Pelt, with whom he worked together in Green Bay in 2012 and 2013.
The expectation is that McAdoo, who has experience working as a position coach and a coordinator and play-caller himself, will work closely with Van Pelt.
