According to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, the Patriots are in talks with former New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo to come in as an assistant head coach of offense position.

McAdoo was the Giants’ head coach for almost two seasons, going 13-15 before being fired with four games left in the 2017 season.

McAdoo, 46, was most recently the Carolina Panthers’ offensive coordinator in 2022. He previously was the Giants’ offensive coordinator in 2014-15.

McAdoo has a relationship with new offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. The two coached together under Mike McCarthy with the Green Bay Packers from 2013 to 2014. Patriots executive Eliot Wolf was also a member of the Packers front office during that time.

No official announcement has been made but all signs point to McAdoo coming and giving the Patriots an another experienced voice on the offensive side of the ball. 

After last season’s struggles on offense, the Patriots are loading up on that side of the ball from a coaching standpoint.
