Thomas Brown Joins Patriots As Passing Game Coordinator

Thomas Brown is set to join the New England Patriots as their offensive passing game coordinator and tight ends coach under head coach Mike Vrabel. Brown, who previously served as the interim head coach for the Chicago Bears, experienced a tumultuous season but ended on a high note by defeating the Green Bay Packers in the final game. His coaching journey has included roles as passing game coordinator, offensive coordinator, and assistant head coach with various teams, including the Rams and Panthers. The Patriots had initially interviewed him for their offensive coordinator position, which ultimately went to Josh McDaniels. Reports indicate that Brown's move to New England was expected after he was not retained by the Bears, and his hiring reflects a positive outcome following his challenging stint in Chicago. Brown's extensive coaching background and connections in the NFL make him a promising addition to the Patriots' staff.
