This will be O’Brien’s second stint as the Patriots’ offensive coordinator, a title he previously had in 2011. He also spent 2007-2010 with the Patriots in various offensive assistant roles.
For the last two seasons, O’Brien has been the offensive coordinator at Alabama. Before that he was head coach of the Texans, and before that head coach at Penn State.

They were widely criticized for not having an OC this past season, so it's probably a step in the right direction for them.

I'm good with it. Let's see how he does without Brady's, Welker's, Edelman's, Gronkowski's, Watson's or Hopkins's. I guess Charlie Weis was busy.

Thank the football gods he's no longer at Bama.
