In 2024, the new england patriots could be extending the effects of a seismic shift in offense to their entire coaching staff.
According to sports illustrated, the pats are in talks to add ben Mcadoo, a former new york giants coach, to their offensive staff.
According to the report, Mcadoo is expected to play a role as an assistant head coach, as well as supporting newly-hired offensive coordinator alex van pelt. Mcadoo joined the new orleans saints in 2004 as an offensive quality control coach, and has been the carolina panthers offensive coordinator since 2022.
He is perhaps best known for his brief, yet exciting tenure as giants head coach from 2016-2017. The 46-year-old led new york to an 11-5 record and a playoff spot in his first season at the helm. Nevertheless, the team regressed dramatically in his second season, a season marred by numerous injuries and player suspensions.
In week 13, mcadoo also made the controversial decision to sabbat quarterback eli manning, putting an end to his 210-consecutive start streak.
After accumulating a 2-10 record in 2017, he and general manager jerry reese were fired. Mcadoo’s most intriguing part may be his time with the green bay packers. The pennsylvania native was tight ends coach (2006-11) and quarterbacks coach from 2012-13 from 2006-13. Mcadoo served as head coach of the dallas cowboys, a former packers team. He also worked with a front office in which current patriots director of scouting, Eliot wolf, played a vital role.
Wolf has been mentioned as a potential patriots general manager after spending the bulk of january assisting mayo with his coaching interviews and vetting process. Mcadoo’s experience working with wolf and van pelt will solidify the belief that the patriots’ operations will have a completely new look and procedure for the forthcoming season. His vast football experience, in particular, should be a benefit to his former employer as new england tries to reshape an offense that finished no. 0 in the NFL.
Last season, 32 goals were scored. In addition to van pelt, the patriots also signed former defensive line coach demarcus covington as defensive coordinator, and ex-los angeles rams coach jeremy springer has been hired to lead special teams.
