Patriots Interview Thomas Brown For Offensive Coordinator

The New England Patriots, under newly hired head coach Mike Vrabel, have interviewed Thomas Brown, the interim coach and offensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears, for their vacant offensive coordinator position. Brown, who had a challenging season with the Bears, going 1-4 as interim head coach, previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers in 2023. He has also held various coaching roles with the Los Angeles Rams, where he started his NFL career. Given the Patriots' disappointing 4-13 finish in 2024, Vrabel is looking to make significant changes to the coaching staff, including replacing former offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. Brown's potential exit from Chicago seems likely as the Bears aim to improve after a tough season. This interview marks the beginning of a broader search for coordinators by Vrabel to build his staff in New England.
