Bill O’Brien, the new Patriots offensive coordinator who previously worked under Bill Belichick, will have his hands full in resurrecting an offense that was reportedly “dysfunctional” and “riddled with distrust,” according to a bombshell report from the Boston Herald.
The offensive struggles reportedly stem from a wave of dysfunction between Pats quarterbacks coach Joe Judge and former offensive play-caller Matt Patricia, according to sources who spoke to the Herald on the condition of anonymity. The Patriots (8-9) finished the 2022 season third in the AFC East division after losing three of their last four games. New England ranked 17th in the league with 21.4 points per game.
“I love coach [Belichick], but he f----- us,” one source told the Herald in regard to the offense.
