It’s become quite popular for teams around the NFL to target offensive coaches that have spent time working under San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay.
The New England Patriots are no different, and seemingly got themselves one Wednesday.
The Patriots are targeting T.C. McCartney as their next quarterbacks coach, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports. McCartney most recently served as tight ends coach with the Cleveland Browns, working directly with New England offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt.
McCartney has an interesting story, having served as a backup quarterback at LSU from 2007 to 2011 — winning a National Championship as a freshman.
