Patriots reportedly hire Mike McCarthy — no, not that one — as an offensive assistant

The New England Patriots have added another coach to their offensive staff. It is one with a familiar name: Mike McCarthy shares it with the Dallas Cowboys’ current head coach, but himself also brings plenty of experience to his new position with the Patriots.

According to a report by John Brice of Football Scoop, McCarthy will join the team as an offensive assistant. He previously spent five years coaching the offensive line at Brown University.

McCarthy, who played outside linebacker and long snapper at Widener University, began his off-field career in 2007.
