Bill Belichick knew his offense needed a change coming off a disappointing season, so the New England Patriots’ head coach went out and hired Bill O’Brien as his offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Needless to say that expectations for the new guy are pretty high.
O’Brien was not just brought in to get the Patriots offense back on track following the one-year debacle that was 2022, but also to fix quarterback Mac Jones as well. Jones had an encouraging rookie season under Josh McDaniels in 2021, but did not progress as hoped while being coached by Matt Patricia and Joe Judge as a sophomore.
