The New England Patriots are getting closer to naming a new offensive coordinator.
The Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan, who cited sources, reported Wednesday night that former Patriots assistant and Los Angeles Rams tight ends coach Nick Caley is the first finalist for the vacant offensive coordinator position.
The Patriots and new head coach Jerod Mayo have undergone a widespread search for a new offensive coordinator, having reportedly interviewed 11 candidates for the job. Caley already seemed like the front-runner while former Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy is the only other person to interview for the job in-person, per Callahan.
