Led by offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, the New England Patriots had to see multiple assistant coaches leave the organization this offseason. McDaniels took over as the new head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, taking wide receivers coach Mick Lombardi, offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo and assistant quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree with him.
With those four gone, the Patriots have some holes to fill. How they will do that remains to be seen, but former New England assistant Dante Scarnecchia believes that decisions have already been made.
“You can understand the frustration by people on the outside, but if you’re in the building my suspicion is the decisions have been made,” he told NBC Sports on Wednesday.
