The New England Patriots made Mac Jones a very happy man Tuesday, it appears.
The Patriots are hiring Bill O'Brien as their new offensive coordinator to replace 2022 offensive play-caller Matt Patricia, our Phil Perry confirmed. O'Brien was among five offensive coordinator candidates to interview for New England's OC vacancy but was widely viewed as the frontrunner based on his previous experience with the Patriots and familiarity with Jones.
Unsurprisingly, Jones seems pleased by O'Brien's hiring. The 24-year-old quarterback is "'very' excited about O’Brien coming to New England," Mass Live's Mark Daniels reported Tuesday, citing a source close to Jones.
