“Deal is effectively done—the Patriots have hired ex-Giants coach Ben McAdoo. Sources say his title will be senior offensive assistant. He’ll obviously work closely with new OC Alex Van Pelt. The two were together in Green Bay, with Pats exec Eliot Wolf,” Albert Breer shared.

“Patrica, Judge and now McAdoo, can we stop bringing in the cringiest and most laughable former head coaches?” a New England fan asked.
