The New England Patriots recently revealed the roles of each of their coaching assistants for the 2022 season. The biggest takeaway: They will not have an official offensive or defensive coordinator.
Instead, Matt Patricia will be the team's senior football adviser/offensive line coach while Joe Judge handles offensive assistant/quarterback coaching duties. Patricia appeared to be the frontrunner to replace Josh McDaniels during the spring, but head coach Bill Belichick ultimately made the decision to forgo the official OC and DC titles.
Patricia is known as defensive coach -- he was the Patriots' defensive coordinator from 2012-17 -- but could he handle OC duties if given the chance?
