The New England Patriots have been busy the last few days, consistently adding new coaches to the staff of first-year head coach Mike Vrabel. On Monday, four additions were reported.
Doug Marrone, Jason Houghtaling and Milton Patterson have joined the club in unannounced roles, while Thomas Brown was brought aboard as tight ends coach and pass game coordinator. What do those and the other most recent coaching staff moves mean for the Patriots, though? Using the information available, let’s try to answer that question from a big picture perspective.
Doug Marrone: TBD
O-line help: Even though his role is not yet known, the expectation is that Marrone will work with the Patriots’ offensive line in some capacity.
