Co-offensive line coach Cole Popovich set to leave Patriots staff

Cole Popovich, who spent 2020 as the New England Patriots’ co-offensive line coach with Carmen Bricillo, will not coach with the team into 2021, according to Jim McBride of the Boston Globe.

The reasoning surrounding Popovich’s departure is currently unclear.

Popovich, 36, spent six seasons with New England serving a variety of different roles. He joined the team as a coaching assistant in 2015 and was eventually named the assistant running backs coach in 2019. Following legendary offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia’s retirement in 2019, Popovich and Bricillo were elevated into the role as co-offensive line coaches.
