Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien spent the last two seasons in Tuscaloosa, but his time may be coming to an end. Now, it’s reported O’Brien is one of the lead candidates for the New England Patriots‘ offensive coordinator position.
O’Brien is no stranger to the NFL, especially Foxborough.
For five seasons (2007-2011), O’Brien served in various offensive coaching roles for the Patriots. He ultimately became the offensive coordinator in his final season before accepting the Penn State head coaching job.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports O’Brien’s name has come up as a potential replacement for the offensive play-calling done by Matt Patricia and Joe Judge.
