The rebuilding project of the New England Patriots continues under Jerod Mayo. As they move further away from the glory days of the Bill Belichick era, they’re looking for capable coaches who can reshape the team into its former status as an AFC powerhouse.
As part of their efforts, they’re looking to hire the most capable offensive minds that are still available in the coaching market. According to one source, one of the people they’re looking to add to their coaching staff is a former NFL head coach.
Ben McAdoo tipped to join New England Patriots staff
Former New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo is one of the people who are considered to join offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt’s squad and transform a New England Patriots team that is in bad need of an offensive shakeup.
While it’s been quite some time since McAdoo held a head coaching gig, he’s never been far from coaching NFL players. Chowder & Champions’ Jovan Alford wrote about his most recent forays into offensive coaching, an offensive coordinator role for the Carolina Panthers:
The Panthers’ offense didn’t do anything special under McAdoo, as they were ranked 20th in scoring (20.4 points per game) and 29th in passing (176.2 yards per game). However, Carolina was ranked 10th in rushing (130 yards per game).
Given the efficiency of Carolina’s run game, he’ll likely take over guiding the running backs past NFL defenses. However, his experience in coaching NFL tight ends and quarterbacks since 2006 will be a great boon for a team that is still looking for their QB1.
Another factor analysts point to McAdoo’s possible appointment to the team is his connections with the New England Patriots. He has great relationships with many of the team’s high-ranking officials, making him a no-brainer hire for the culture shift Mayo is trying to enforce at Foxborough.
Should he get the nod, it will be interesting to see how a hollowed-out New England Patriots side will perform. Since they’re technically working with a clean slate, they can quickly turn this team into a surprise contender if they play their cards right.
