5 offensive coordinators Patriots could hire if Alex Van Pelt is fired

Things could be heating up for the New England Patriots' coaching staff with only three games left on the regular season schedule. If the team continues to implode down the stretch, it could force drastic changes, including the possibility of a new offensive play-caller.

Alex Van Pelt didn't come out looking good after the Patriots' ugly 30-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15. Coach Jerod Mayo seemingly threw him under the bus, and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte questioned the team's aggressiveness early in the game. There was also the viral video of a frustrated Jonathan Kraft watching the offense fall apart on the field.
