This really seems like a "connect the dots of BoB contract expiring" and bb saying "cant change offenses mid year" plus saban. I really dont think there are any actual sources behind it but just some clickbait to land on game day.
Also after emphasizing so much to move the shanahan scheme and move away from the older style of offense , why would they bring back BoB especially if he leaves in 2 yrs ?
This is just to drive media stories.BB will now be asked about this report or patricia's return .Bb will say , we will talk about dolphins . Media will say "BB didnt commit to patricia coming back" . Rinse repeat.
