Alex Van Pelt is reportedly one and done in New England.
The former Patriots offensive coordinator will not be returning for the 2025 season as a member of Mike Vrabel’s staff, per Mass Live’s Chris Mason and Mark Daniels.
It isn’t a surprise considering the team announced the hiring of Josh McDaniels as the new offensive coordinator this week. The writing was already on the wall for Van Pelt.
Despite the Patriots struggling on offense, Van Pelt did a solid job in the development of rookie quarterback Drake Maye. He couldn’t help the severely lacking offensive personnel. It never seemed like he had a real chance to sink his teeth into the offense.
The team started with Jacoby Brissett under center at quarterback before making the switch to Maye, who played behind one of the worst offensive lines in the league.
It was a no-win situation for Van Pelt with an offense that finished 31st in total yards.
