Before hiring Josh McDaniels, Mike Vrabel interviewed another Super Bowl-winning offensive coordinator. According to a source, Eric Bieniemy interviewed with the Patriots for their previously vacant offensive coordinator job. The team also interviewed Marcus Brady, Thomas Brown, and Grant Udinski before hiring McDaniels last week.

The New England Patriots reportedly interviewed former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy before deciding on Josh McDaniels to take over the offensive play-calling, according to FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz.

Ever since the New England Patriots hired Mike Vrabel to be their head coach, his staff has been taking shape, and there have been some significant changes. Their latest involves the departure of a longtime member of their staff who is one of the few remaining links to their dynasty teams.
