The Patriots’ search for an offensive coordinator is underway, with a few candidates emerging as the team begins its interview process.
New England has requested permission to speak with Keenan McCardell, the current wide receivers coach for the Vikings, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
McCardell’s name adds to a “growing list of candidates,” per Rapoport. Included on that list, he added, is former New England offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien (who served in the same role for the University of Alabama over the past two seasons).
McCardell, 53, has no previous experience as an offensive coordinator since starting his coaching career in 2010.
