Nick Caley’s tenure with the New England Patriots had its highs and lows, but ultimately he left that franchise with eight years to learn from Bill Belichick and the experience of winning two Super Bowl championships as an assistant. After six years as the Patriots tight ends coach, plus additional duties as fullbacks coach for two seasons, Caley parted ways with New England when Belichick brought back Bill O’Brien as offensive coordinator this past January.
But first, the Patriots interviewed Caley for the offensive coordinator role, something that many felt they should have done a year earlier, and he also interviewed for the same position with the Houston Texans and New York Jets.
