With Josh McDaniels leaving the nest, the Patriots have to search for a new offensive coordinator for the first time in the last 10 seasons during a crucial moment for the team and young quarterback Mac Jones.
One of the most obvious fits for the new offensive coordinator vacancy might have his eyes on the job as well, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The NFL insider told WEEI’s “Gresh & Keefe” show Thursday that Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, who has held the same post for the Patriots in the past, might be willing to return to Foxborough for another NFL opportunity.
