The Patriots have held interviews with several candidates for their vacant offensive coordinator position. A hire is expected to be made this week. Here are the candidates that the team have spoken with and their odds of being the Patriots next offensive coordinator.

We are just having fun with this and looking to inform people. That is all.

Nick Caley, Rams TE Coach (two interviews): Caley has interviewed twice and appears to be the odds on favorite to be the Patriots next offensive coordinator. With his experience in the Shanahan/McVay West Coast offense and his familiarity with the Patriots, Caley appears to have the inside track on the job. Odds: 5/1

Klint Kubiak, 49ers pass game specialist: Kubiak is in his first season with the 49ers. The son of former Denver Broncos and Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak, Klint has experience as both a quarterbacks coach and as an offensive coordinator. In 2022, he was the passing game coordinator for the Denver Broncos. He was also the team’s quarterbacks coach from 2016-2018. Prior to that, he spent three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings as the team’s offensive coordinator (2021) and quarterbacks coach (2019-20). Kubiak is the one coach who I think could give Caley a run for his money. He has the experience and the name cache to be a popular hire for the Patriots. Odds: 8/1

Thomas Brown, Former Panthers OC: Brown was let go by the Panthers after the season but remains a hot coordinator candidate thanks to his experience in the Shanahan/McVay system. Only 37, Brown is young but he has a good resume and he has the potential to be a terrific play caller if he gets the opportunity to be the primary play-caller. Odds: 10/1

Scott Turner, Raiders pass game coordinator: Turner is the son of former Redskins and Chargers head coach Norv Turner. Turner just completed his first season as the Raiders passing game coordinator. Prior to that, he was the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders for three seasons. Turner was also the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator with the Carolina Panthers for two seasons and was the quarterbacks coach with the Minnesota Vikings from 2016 to 2018. He has the pedigree and the resume to step in and potentially do a good job. Turner might actually be the best fit if the Patriots draft Jayden Daniels. He has coached offenses that feature running quarterbacks. Odds: 15/1

Brian Fleury, 49ers TE Coach: Fleury impressed the Patriots in his recent interview and he is viewed around league circles as a rising star among potential coordinator candidates. He is in his fifth season with the 49ers and second as the team’s tight ends coach. During the 2020-21 seasons, he was an offensive quality control coach and was a defensive quality control coach during the 2019 season.  He joined the 49ers after spending three seasons with the Miami Dolphins as the team’s football research analyst and director of football research. He doesn’t quite have the experience the other candidates do but he is coming from the Shanahan/McVay tree which is appealing to Mayo and the Patriots. Odds: 20/1

Luke Getsy, Former Bears OC: Getsy played at the University of Akron and in the NFL. He has quarterbacks coaching experience and coordinator experience. He was recently fired by the Chicago Bear so that does not help his chances but Getsy is a good coach who has had success in the past. He has the endorsement of Aaron Rodgers. As far as what he would run, Getsy would run a multiple offense similar to what Mike McCarthy runs in Dallas. He is a McCarthy disciple. Odds: 25/1

Tanner Engstrand, Lions pass game coordinator: Engstrand has spent the past four seasons with the Lions and just completed his first season as passing game coordinator. He has positional coach and coordinating experience. He served as offensive coordinator for the XFL’s DC Defenders and was on staff at the University of Michigan as an offensive analyst. Engstrand also served in a variety of roles at the University of San Diego where he was the assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. His experience working under Ben Johnson this season has put him on team’s radars and he will get more interviews in the future. Odds: 30/1

Jerrod Johnson, Texans QB: The former Texas A&M star just completed his first season as quarterbacks coach of the Texans. He has previously coached with the Vikings and Colts. The last time he called plays was as a high school coach in the Houston area in 2017. He does not have the requisite coordinator experience but he did a tremendous job developing C.J Stroud and is a future coordinator. Odds: 30/1
