After his failed tenure as the Patriots’ offensive play caller and O-line coach, Matt Patricia reportedly could be going back to his coaching roots on the defensive side of the ball.
And it might not be with New England.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Patricia interviewed with Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos for the team’s vacant defensive coordinator position on Wednesday. The tenured Patriots staffer is one of three former NFL head coaches vying for the vacancy along with Rex Ryan and Vance Joseph.
With Bill O’Brien returning to Foxborough to run New England’s offense and Adrian Klemm taking over the offensive line, Patricia has been in a state of limbo since the 2022 season concluded.
