After another 4-13 season, their second in a row, the New England Patriots are turning over their coaching staff once again.

New England fired head coach Jerod Mayo following the team's 23-16 victory over the Buffalo Bills in their regular-season finale which dropped the team from the top pick in the 2025 NFL draft to the fourth.

Patriots defensive coaching assistant Keith Jones Jr. has also already departed, accepting a job at Appalachian State.

Now, another member of the coaching staff is on the move, as ESPN's Mike Reiss reported that director of ill development Joe Kim is departing.
