FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots hired Alex Van Pelt as their offensive coordinator on Thursday, the team announced.
Van Pelt, who spent the last four seasons as the Cleveland Browns' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, fills a critical position on first-year coach Jerod Mayo's staff and signifies that the team might be moving to more of a West Coast-based system.
Van Pelt didn't call the offensive plays for the Browns, as head coach Kevin Stefanski handled those responsibilities, but the 53-year-old stepped in to do so in Cleveland's playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2020 season when Stefanski was sidelined due to COVID-19.
