“These guys have had these offensive-minded guys that have been around the NFL in that kind of role and there’s been a consistency of that.”
This is a direct quote of orlovsky commenting on coaches with offensive EXPERIENCE, not JUST continuity.
Cherry pick comments all you want. Maybe patricia and judge end up good offensive coaches. BB clearly sees something in them and their potential. But it is an indisputable fact that there are experienced offensive coaches like O’Brien who would have afforded Jones more first hand knowledge, and yes, even continuity than those guys.
Nobody knows if Bill O'Brien was available or interested. Other than that, which established OC would know the Pats system?
Nick Caley is probably the future OC. He's coached the TE's the past 5 years and was a John Carroll graduate, so he's a JMD protege. BB also must feel that with 2 former HC's on his staff, one running the OL and the other as QB coach, he's got the right coaches. Caley will likely be in Jones' ear on gameday, and next year becomes OC officially.
In his spare time I hope that Judge helps out with Special teams which were not good at all last year except for Nick Folk. The punting unit cost us games, Bailey couldn't land one inside the 10, it was ugly.
