Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown is drawing interest from the Patriots for their offensive coordinator job.

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).

The Chicago Bears interviewed Thomas Brown for their head coaching vacancy after he ran the team on an interim basis at the end of the season.

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams called out head coach Thomas Brown and made clear what he wants in the team's next head coach.

The Chicago Bears are looking for their next head coach after firing Matt Eberflus during the season. However, an NFL insider has revealed that there are two legitimate candidates.
