One of the hallmarks of the New England Patriots’ recent run of success — winning three Super Bowl titles in a five-year span — is the stability of the team’s coaching staff in all three phases of the game. In this regard, the 2019 offseason might prove to be a challenging one for the reigning world champions: a total of six position and assistant coaches have opted to leave New England following the club’s victory in Super Bowl 53.
Four of the coaches were lost to the Miami Dolphins. Defensive play caller Brian Flores is the club’s new head coach and brought along three of his former Patriots colleagues in wide receivers coach Chad O’Shea (Dolphins offensive coordinator), assistant quarterbacks coach Jerry Schuplinski (Dolphins assistant quarterbacks coach) and cornerbacks coach Josh Boyer (Dolphins passing game coordinator/cornerbacks coach).
