According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Bill O'Brien is a strong option to be the New England Pats offensive line coach.
The University of Alabama's offense is fourth in college football with 40.8 points scored per game and is led by O'Brien. After seven years as head coach of the Houston Texans, he was fired early in the 2020 season.
The main responsibilities of the quarterbacks coach and offensive line coach are shared by two other people. The primary play-calling has been done by a man who had been a defensive coach.
Before becoming the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, Josh McDaniels had been the team's offensive coordinators for the last 10 years.
Under the new staff, the offense has struggled, ranking 25th in total yards and 17th in points scored. The squad had an average of 27.2 points per game.
Quarterback Mac Jones, who earned a Pro Bowl selection last season and finished second in voting for offensive rookies of the year, has taken a step back in Year 2 with just seven touchdown passes and eight turnovers.

The former Alabama quarterback could get a boost from the fact that O'Brien and Jones have worked together before.
O'Brien was an offensive assistant, receiver coach, quarterback coach, and offensive coordinators for the New England. He was the leader of the offense in 2011, when the team finished second in the league in total yards and third in points scored.
The New York Giants defeated the squad in the Superbowl.
