With Josh McDaniels leaving for a head-coaching job in Las Vegas, Bill Belichick has turned to two former head coaches to replace him.
Welcome back, Matt Patricia and Joe Judge.
During a press conference at the NFL’s annual league meetings Monday, Belichick confirmed to reporters Patricia will work on the team’s offensive staff next season. Patricia has “a broad role,” per Belichick, who deflected questions about play-calling and hasn’t named a new offensive coordinator. The Patriots announced Judge’s return in early February with a press release that referred to him as an offensive assistant.
