ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Continuity was the theme of Super Bowl opening night for New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, but even if Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and Kraft stick together beyond the 2017 season as promised, the Patriots continuity will be tested in other ways after Super Bowl LII wraps up in Minneapolis.
Both of New England's coordinators are expected to leave for head coaching jobs in February, with defensive coordinator Matt Patricia headed to Detroit and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to Indianapolis, according to sources.
For the last 18 years, the Patriots have formed a dynasty backed by the same owner, head coach and quarterback.
