After being a complete failure as head coach of the Detroit Lions, Matt Patricia is back with the New England Patriots and according to a report from the Boston Globe, it looks as if he is being groomed for a major role in the organization.
From Boston Globe:
The Patriots website does not list Patricia on the coaching staff. Bill Belichick has been vague about Patricia’s role all offseason, and was again when asked about it Thursday.
“His advice and counsel and presence has been valuable for us in a lot of ways,” Belichick said. “So yeah, I’m extremely glad that he’s here and appreciate the contributions that he gives us on a daily basis.”
Patricia isn’t just contributing to the cause, though, and he’s not back in Foxborough just to be a defensive coach again. While Josh McDaniels, Steve Belichick, and Jerod Mayo are all discussed as potential heirs to Belichick, it is Patricia who looks as though he is being groomed for a major role — either in coaching or the front office.
Nation, do you think Patricia would have more success as a GM than he had as a head coach? Or, do you think he should get another shot at being a head coach?
