Former Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien will return to the New England Patriots to take control of the offense as the new head coordinator after three years away from the NFL.
Bill O'Brien previously spent five years with the Patriots under Bill Belichick, where he was a coach of a number of offensive positions before becoming offensive coordinator in 2011, whilst also being Tom Brady's quarterback coach.
The Patriots needed to make coaching changes after a disappointing season, in which they chose not to hire an offensive coordinator, instead handing that to defensive coach, Matt Patricia, in a move that was hugely criticised.
