With McDaniels filling his old job, Van Pelt won’t return in a different role. Also not expected to return is last year’s offensive line coach Scott Peters, receivers coach Tyler Hughes, tight ends coach Bob Bickell, running backs coach Taylor Embree, assistant receivers coach Tiquan Underwood, offensive assistant Michael McCarthy and others.
New England offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt is reportedly not returning to the Patriots in 2025 according to multiple reports.
Alex Van Pelt is reportedly one and done in New England. The former Patriots offensive coordinator will not be returning for the 2025 season as a member of Mike Vrabel's staff, per Mass Live's Chris Mason and Mark Daniels.
The Buccaneers shouldn’t have any trouble attracting a good offensive coordinator to replace Liam Coen. Not only has the job been an express route to becoming an NFL head coach — Dave Canales with the Carolina Panthers last year and Coen with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday — it comes with quarterback Baker Mayfield and stars at every turn.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski spoke for 57 seconds before skirting the cameras Thursday morning. He introduced new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, explained the hiring process and — oh, by the way — announced Stefanski would call plays again.
The Patriots are reportedly hiring Josh McDaniels as the team's offensive coordinator, marking his third stint in Foxborough.
Vrabel has said he doesn’t have a timeline for the coordinator search, though interviews will likely start in the coming week.
Josh McDaniels would return for his third stint as offensive coordinator, having served in that role from 2006-08 and then 2012-21.
There will be plenty to like about Tommy Rees as Browns OC, provided he effectively aids Kevin Stefanski in regaining what the head coach does best.
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye will hit pause on his offseason. The rookie quarterback was named to the Pro Bowl roster as a replacement on Tuesday. Maye will take part in the Pro Bowl games, which start Thursday, Jan. 30 and run through Sunday, Feb. 2.
The Browns moved veteran NFL assistant Bill Musgrave, who had been serving as a senior offensive assistant, to the position of quarterbacks coach.
Last season, the Patriots staff had first-timers at head coach (Mayo), offensive play caller (Alex Van Pelt), defensive coordinator/play caller (Covington), and offensive line coach (Scott Peters).
