"Top Candidates to Replace Bill O'Brien as Patriots Offensive Coordinator"

Bill O'Brien is reportedly leaving the Patriots to join Ohio State, prompting the team to search for a new offensive coordinator under head coach Jerod Mayo. Potential candidates include Josh McDaniels, Eric Bieniemy, Shane Waldron, Zac Robinson, Klint Kubiak, and others with experience in various offensive systems, including the West Coast offense and the McVay system. The Patriots are also expected to draft a quarterback early in the 2024 draft, so the new offensive coordinator will need to adapt the system to accommodate a less experienced quarterback while revamping the offensive coaching staff.
