In an unprecedented move, the New England Patriots announced last week that they would begin the search for an offensive coordinator shortly. The Patriots, of course, are coming off a season in which they did not hand out the title.
After losing long-time coordinator Josh McDaniels to the Las Vegas Raiders’ head coaching vacancy in the offseason, the team decided to hand the keys to the offense — and the development of sophomore quarterback Mac Jones — over to Matt Patricia and Joe Judge. The duo, which had limited experienced working on that side of the ball, led a collaborative coaching effort in 2022.
