Simply put, the New England Patriots have some work to do to rebuild the coaching staff on offense.
Josh McDaniels, who took the Las Vegas Raiders head-coaching job, was the first domino to fall. Then followed assistant quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree, wide receivers coach Mick Lombardi and offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo — all joining the Raiders.
The only real clarity on replacements for these departures is the return of Joe Judge, who’s taking the role of an offensive assistant. Judge, formerly the Patriots’ special teams coordinator, left for two seasons to coach the New York Giants. He finished with a 10-23 record and as it currently stands, he’s better off in an assistant coaching role.
