Head coach Bill Belichick added Corwin Brown to the coaching staff. The former Notre Dame defensive coordinator now commands the New England secondary. It’s a homecoming for Brown, as he was a fourth round draft pick of the Patriots back in 1993.
Belichick still has some work to do to fill out his coaching staff. The team lacks a defensive coordinator since Dean Pees’ contract expired and he decided to move on. Pees will be Baltimore’s linebackers coach in 2010.
The two projected favorites to replace Pees are defensive line coach Pepper Johnson and linebackers coach Matt Patricia. If one is promoted, it will leave a hole in the coaching staff. As Belichick mulls his decisions, hopefully he extends an offer to retired LB Junior Seau to be a linebackers coach.
