The New England Patriots are set for a major shakeup in the upcoming 2024 NFL season. After years of leading the team, head coach Bill Belichick has left, making way for linebackers coach Jerod Mayo to take over. The Patriots have also made changes to their coaching staff, with DeMarcus Covington becoming the new defensive coordinator and Jeremy Springer joining as the special teams coordinator.
On the offensive side, the Patriots have brought in Alex Van Pelt, who previously served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Cleveland Browns. Van Pelt’s extensive experience and knowledge of offensive schemes will be valuable for Mayo, who is taking on his first head coaching role.
In addition, there are talks of adding former New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo to the Patriots’ offensive staff. Sources indicate that McAdoo would likely play an assistant head coach role and assist Van Pelt with the team’s offensive strategies. McAdoo has a strong background in working with offenses, having served as the Giants’ head coach and most recently as the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers in 2022.
With these changes, the Patriots’ offense is expected to undergo a significant transformation in the 2024 season. After a disappointing showing in 2023, the addition of McAdoo could play a crucial role in the team’s turnaround.
