With the departure of Josh McDaniels to Las Vegas as the new head coach of the Raiders, the New England Patriots have yet to name an offensive coordinator or play-caller for the 2022 season.
That might be about to change. According to reporting from The Athletic’s Jeff Howe, former Detroit Lions head coach — and former Patriots defensive coordinator — Matt Patricia is “trending” toward handling those duties for New England this season:
Belichick has not yet decided who will call the plays during the season, but it’s trending in Patricia’s direction, according to a source. Patricia and Judge are each preparing for the possibility of calling plays, but Patricia’s workload this spring has suggested he’s the early favorite to handle that responsibility.
