Patriots reportedly have name in mind for assistant head coach role

The New England Patriots are reportedly eyeing another experienced offensive mind to come onboard and help with the coaching staff.

Per senior NFL reporter Albert Breer, the Patriots are in talks to hire former New York Giants head coach and offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo. It is expected to be an assistant head coach type role with McAdoo also helping newly-hired offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt with the offensive unit.

The Patriots are hoping to finally turn a corner offensively after the unit fell completely flat for a second straight season. They hoped a reunion with Bill O’Brien would help fix things in 2023, but it was a complete bust, mostly due to the lackluster talent on the roster.
