A former divisional foe could be on the Patriots’ coaching staff next season.
Former Dolphins and Jets coach Adam Gase’s name has popped up in the Patriots’ offensive coordinator search, NFL Network’s Mike Giardi reported.
While Gase has never worked under Bill Belichick, he does have some loose ties with the Patriots coach. Gase worked under former Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels in Denver as a wide receivers coach. He also worked under Belichick disciple Nick Saban at LSU as a defensive assistant.
Belichick has praised Gase for his coaching ability in the past, complimenting the coach’s ability to develop quarterbacks.
