Patriots Hiring Thomas Brown As Assistant Coach
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the New England Patriots are hiring former Chicago Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown as their tight ends/passing-game coordinator on Monday, according to a source. Brown impressed new head coach Mike Vrabel in an offensive-coordinator interview and will now join his staff. He began the 2024 season in Chicago as the team's pass-game coordinator before being promoted to offensive coordinator and then interim head coach after the firings of Shane Waldron and Matt Eberflus, respectively. Brown led the Bears to a 1-4 record down the stretch in the interim head coach role, with the team's lone victory coming against the division-rival Green Bay Packers. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams showed improved under Brown, so the Patriots will be hoping Brown can now help in the development of young QB Drake Maye.
