Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, whose two-year contract with the school expires after this season, said Wednesday he has not spoken to anyone with the New England Patriots since he
“I wish them well in their last, however many games they have left,” O’Brien said. “But we’re very focused on this game and coaching this team to the best of our ability.”
NFL Network reported Saturday that O’Brien is considered a “strong option” to become the Patriots’ offensive coordinator in 2023, and NBC Sports Boston reported similarly this week. “I have a lot of friends in the NFL, so the answer would be yes to that. I have a lot of coaching friends in the NFL, so yeah, they’re some of my closest friends. But relative to working in the NFL, no,” O’Brien said. “Relative to working here, like I said, I love it here, I love my experience here. I’m very focused on this game coming up, and then whatever conversations happen after this game, those will take place when they take place.
New England instead replaced McDaniels with former Patriots defensive coordinator and former Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia, whose performance as an offensive play caller has been widely panned. The Patriots’ Mac Jones-led offense has dropped from sixth in the NFL for points scored in 2021 to 16th this season, and from 15th to 24th in total yards.
