Patriots reportedly ‘in talks’ to hire Ben McAdoo as assistant coach

The Patriots reportedly are well on their way to filling out their coaching staff.

New England is ‘in talks’ to hire Ben McAdoo as an assistant coach, according to Monday Morning Quarterback’s Albert Breer. McAdoo is expected to take on an assistant head coach-type role under Jerod Mayo with a focus on helping offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt, per Breer.

McAdoo was most notably the Giants’ head coach in 2016-17, though his resume expands beyond those seasons.

The 46-year-old has coached the offensive line, tight ends, and quarterbacks, as well as holding offensive coordinator roles two separate times.
