We’re still uncertain if Bill o’brien has a future in new england at this moment.
Following bill Belichick’s departure from the patriots, at least one report stated that o’brien will continue as offensive coordinator under new head coach Jerod Mayo.
In a story published Tuesday evening, boston sports journal’s mike Giardi painted a different picture. “the sense i get about the offensive coordinator position is that a new voice will be leading the show,” giardi wrote. “bill O’Brien has a year left on his contract (gryeg Bedard hears two years) and has enjoyed returning home, but he is regarded as a belichick follower and may want to move on with the man who brought him back, or at least green-lit the return (in 2023).
“plus, despite not responding to my question about his desire to be a head coach again, those who know him well agree that this is still the aim for o’brien.” Giardi’s reporting is notable for a number of reasons. It means that the patriots could have a new offensive coordinator in 2024, as shown by the chart.
That could open the door to a reunion with Josh McDaniels, who has spent a lot of time with the team over the past few weeks.second of all, the reports indicate that o’brien still has a close working relationship with belichick despite reportedly feuding with him several times this season.
On wednesday, the patriots will hold a press conference to name mayo as their new head coach. Mayo and/or Robert Kraft, both of whom will answer questions, could provide further insight into O’Brien’s futures and the lives of other staffers.
