The Patriots, following the 2024 season, are considering hiring Thomas Brown, the former interim head coach of the Chicago Bears, to join their coaching staff. Though initially interviewed for their offensive coordinator position that went to Josh McDaniels, Brown's previous experience as a running backs coach and offensive coordinator could be beneficial for New England, especially in developing new quarterback Drake Maye. As the running game struggled with Rhamondre Stevenson averaging a career-low yards per carry, a fresh coaching perspective could foster improvement.
Brown is still in talks with the team to potentially join the staff in a different role, according to league sources.
New England's running backs could also use a new coaching voice, with New England's go-to option on the ground in Rhamondre Stevenson averaging a career-low 3.9 yards per carry in 2024.
