Since then, he has been the offensive coordinator at Alabama, where New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones played under him.This is very positive news for the Patriots, who averaged just 21.4 points per game this season. Bill O'Brien is a massive upgrade over Joe Judge and Matt Patricia.Mac Jones can benefit from the inclusion of Bill O'BrienMac Jones: Miami Dolphins v New England PatriotsMac Jones had a great rookie season in the NFL, but the loss of Josh McDaniels to the Las Vegas Raiders hit him hard. He regressed in his sophomore year and needs an offensive coordinator like O'Brien to help him.Jones had a passer rating of 84.8 after throwing for 2,997 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 14 games this season.Getting the opportunity to work with his former collegiate offensive coordinator in the NFL will certainly help Mac Jones get better next season. However, the Patriots still need to make some moves in order to make their offense better.DeAndre Hopkins might be available for a trade, and New England should definitely try to get him. Apart from that, getting a player like Jordan Addison or Quentin Johnston via the draft would be the best possible scenario for them.Touchdown Alabama@TDAlabamaMagBREAKING: Bill O'Brien is heading to New England to be the Patriots new offensive coordinator. Mac Jones will finally have a seasoned OC at his disposal.29643BREAKING: Bill O'Brien is heading to New England to be the Patriots new offensive coordinator.

Hopefully, we will see them being aggressive in free agency and also in the trade market.
