Bill O’Brien Eyed as Patriots Offensive Coordinator Candidate, per Report

The Patriots could consider an overhaul of their offensive coaching staff amid a particularly poor year on that side of the ball this season and it seems like Bill Belichick may be looking at a familiar face to serve as the unit’s new leader.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien is a “strong option to return” to New England in 2023. If he were to return, it’s expected that he would assume the same offensive coordinator role with the Patriots, a title he previously held in 2011.
