FOXBORO -- The New England Patriots interviewed Thomas Brown for their offensive coordinator position before ultimately going back to Josh McDaniels for a third time. But there could still be a spot for Brown on Mike Vrabel's coaching staff.
The Patriots and Brown are reportedly still discussing a role for him on McDaniels' offense, according to ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss.
"The Patriots had interviewed interim Chicago Bears head coach Thomas Brown for their offensive coordinator job that ultimately went to McDaniels, but Brown is still in talks with the team to potentially join the staff in a different role, according to league sources," Reiss reported in his Sunday notes column.
