Bill O’Brien rejoined the Patriots earlier in the offseason in what will be his second tenure as offensive coordinator.
O’Brien, who was offensive coordinator at the University of Alabama over the past two seasons, spoke to reporters on Tuesday for the first time since he arrived back in New England.
“It’s been really good. Good staff, great guys. Just started with the players yesterday,” O’Brien explained, alluding to the team’s offseason program. “Great attendance so far. The whole thing leading up to this period [of time] is a dead period, so really this is the first time we’ve actually had a chance to really be with the players, and that’s really exciting because that’s what it’s all about.
