The number of returning assistants on new head coach Jerod Mayo’s staff keeps getting smaller. The latest to leave the New England Patriots is running backs coach Vinnie Sunseri, who will take a position with the University of Washington.
According to a report by Bruce Feldman of The Athletic, Sunseri will join the Huskies as their next defensive backs coach. The move will reunite him with former Patriots linebackers coach and quasi-co-defensive coordinator Steve Belichick, whose decision to leave New England to become Washington’s DC was reported only a few hours earlier.
