Brown is the first known candidate to interview for the Patriots' offensive coordinator job under Vrabel. He interviewed for the position last season as well before the team ultimately hired Alex Van Pelt. Under Van Pelt's watch in 2024, New England gained just 291.9 yards per game (31st) and scored just 17 points per game (30th).

Brown is New England’s first reported offensive coordinator interview of the offseason. The post Patriots reportedly interview Bears’ interim head coach Thomas Brown for vacant offensive coordinator role appeared first on Boston.

Vrabel has said he doesn’t have a timeline for the coordinator search, though interviews will likely start in the coming week.
