And former linebacker Junior Seau believes linebackers coach Matt Patricia is head coach material down the road.
This isn’t what was expected to improve last year’s predictable coaching. A more hands-on Belichick does sound appealing, but might he spread himself too thin? He was already watching over quarterback coach Bill O’Brien’s shoulder last year as O’Brien apprenticed to be an offensive coordinator. It’s hard to believe that Belichick can mentor on both sides of the ball simultaneously.
