Patriots reportedly retaining Ben McAdoo for 2025 season

The New England Patriots are retaining senior offensive assistant Ben McAdoo on their coaching staff in 2025, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.

McAdoo’s return will mark just the third reported holdover from last year’s coaching staff, joining special teams coaches Jeremy Springer and Tom Quinn.

In his first year with the organization last season, McAdoo had a vague role on Jerod Mayo’s staff. Beyond playing a hand in both Drake Maye and Joe Milton’s development, the veteran coach held a role in New England’s offensive third-down packages each week.

Now returning under Mike Vrabel and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, McAdoo’s exact title or role is unknown.
