The New England Patriots' decision to hire Bill O'Brien as their new offensive coordinator has generated a massive amount of reaction over the last few days.
Most of the reaction has been positive.
O'Brien has enjoyed a successful coaching career, most recently as the OC at Alabama, where Crimson Tide quarterback Bryce Young won the 2021 Heisman Trophy and the offense as a whole averaged 40 points per game over the last two seasons.
Former players also are speaking out in favor of O'Brien.
Rob Gronkowski said Wednesday that New England's offense will improve "tremendously" with O'Brien running the show.
