Matt Patricia spent this past season as a senior football advisor for the Patriots – a new role for someone who’s had many.
Patricia, who was New England’s defensive coordinator from 2012-2017, recently completed his 15th season with the organization. He was the Lions’ head coach for two-plus seasons before returning to Foxborough last year, and ESPN’s Mike Reiss said he could be a possible fit in an offensive role going forward.
Meanwhile, a lot has happened in New England this offseason. Former Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is now the Raiders’ head coach, and he hired Patriots receivers coach Mick Lombardi to be his offensive coordinator.
