The former New York Giants head coach served as a senior offensive assistant in 2024, and he was retained along with special teams coaches Jeremy Springer and Tom Quinn.<\/p>\n<p>It would only seem natural for McAdoo to carry over his role into next season. However, Mike Giardi of the Boston Sports Journal reported Saturday that the 47-year-old will work on the defensive side of the ball in a role yet to be determined. The most perplexing part of the move is that McAdoo doesn\u2019t have experience working with that side of the game in his collegiate or pro career.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots insider admitted he couldn\u2019t find logic in the move. It\u2019s not uncommon for offensive coaches to work on defense and vice versa since it gives a staff different eyes to view weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p>MassLive\u2019s Mark Daniels noted that on Thursdays during the 2024 season, McAdoo operated as the scout team\u2019s defensive coordinator to help the offense prepare for third down situations.<\/p>\n<p>It was an out-of-the-box move after previous coaching staff decisions seemed logical. It might not matter in the grand scheme of Vrabel\u2019s vision, but it stood out as an interesting decision.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriots reportedly are retaining Ben McAdoo, who is expected to coach in a position that he is unfamilar with in his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12397,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
