The Patriots are on the search for an offensive coordinator again.
Bill O’Brien was officially named Ohio State’s offensive coordinator on Friday, leaving his offensive coordinator job with the Patriots after just one season at the helm. The move means that the Patriots will have to bring in a new offensive play-caller for the third straight offseason. They took an unorthodox approach to replace Josh McDaniels in 2022, making Matt Patricia the offensive play-caller and Joe Judge the quarterbacks coach before hiring O’Brien in 2023.
Of course, the offensive coordinator search this time around is much different than the other two.
