The New England Patriots are actively seeking a new offensive coordinator, having recently requested an interview with Los Angeles Chargers passing game coordinator Marcus Brady. This development follows a similar interview request for Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, who met with the Patriots earlier this week. Brady, who began his NFL coaching career at the Indianapolis Colts, is recognized for his varied experience, including a challenging stint where his offensive unit's performance fluctuated significantly.

Brady's tenure with the Colts saw an initial success, with a top 10 scoring offense in his first season, but it steeply declined the following year. Despite this, his coaching under renowned figures like Nick Sirianni and Jim Harbaugh raises optimism regarding his potential as a strategic asset. In his current role, the Chargers' passing game has been respectable, particularly in limiting turnovers, a crucial factor for any candidate considering a transition to head coach.
