The New England Patriots have put together quite the coaching staff…
Mike Vrabel is undoubtedly among the best head coaches in the business. Josh McDaniels’ impact has been immeasurable as the offensive coordinator. Zac Kuhr has done a tremendous job as the interim defensive coordinator.
It’s another assistant that is drawing some attention for his work, however…
NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero put together a list of head coaching candidates for the upcoming cycle, which included a major shoutout for Patriots passing game coordinator/tight ends coach Thomas Brown.
“Brown was promoted to interim OC (to replace the fired Shane Waldron) and head coach (to replace the fired Matt Eberflus) in an 18-day span,” Pelissero wrote. “The Bears won their final game under Brown, stunning the Packers at Lambeau Field to end a 10-game losing streak. When he interviewed for the Patriots’ OC job later that month, Vrabel was so impressed, he found a spot for Brown on staff.”
Brown is no stranger to the interview circuit, having spoken with the Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans and Chicago Bears about their head-coaching jobs over the past four seasons — having been the top choice for interim gigs in each of the last two seasons.
Brown will receive more interviews in the upcoming cycle, and if he’s able to continue this run of success, he’ll almost certainly land a gig.
