Former Wisconsin football assistant coach Thomas Brown has been hired by the New England Patriots as their tight ends coach and pass game coordinator. Brown, who previously interviewed for the Patriots’ offensive coordinator position, impressed head coach Mike Vrabel during the interview process. Brown has a strong coaching background, having previously worked with the Chicago Bears where he served as interim offensive coordinator and interim head coach.
Brown spent the 2014 season at Wisconsin, where he coached program legend Melvin Gordon to a record-setting season. He has also worked at Georgia, Miami, South Carolina, the Los Angeles Rams, and the Carolina Panthers before joining the Patriots. Brown is known for his ability to develop talent and has a track record of success at both the college and professional levels.
The hiring of Brown is part of a trend of former Wisconsin assistants making waves in the NFL. Former Badgers quarterback Scott Tolzien recently left the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff, while Jim Leonhard signed on with the Denver Broncos for another season. Brown’s experience and expertise will be a valuable addition to the Patriots coaching staff as they look to continue their winning ways in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates on Brown’s impact with the team.
