New England may also look to a trusted offensive assistant for assistance with play calling duties in the upcoming season.
The New England Patriots offensive staff will have an overtly different look in 2022. With former assistants Josh McDaniels, Bo Hardegree, Carmen Bricillo and Mick Lombardi headed west to Las Vegas, the Pats are forced to fill multiple voids within the offensive brain trust on the sidelines. Despite several swirling rumors surrounding names such as Bill O’Brien and Adam Gase as potential suitors, one NFL insider seems confident that the Patriots are poised to look to a pair of former NFL head coaches to take on significant roles on the team’s offense in 2022
According to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, newly-reacquired offensive assistant Joe Judge and senior football advisor Matt Patricia are expected to play notable parts in crafting the Patriots offense in the upcoming season.
