Patriots reportedly add pair of names to offensive coordinator search
It appears Brian Fleury and Luke Getsy are both candidates.
Brian Fleury and Luke Getsy are reportedly both in the mix to become the Patriots’ next offensive coordinator.
The San Francisco 49ers tight ends coach Fleury has already interviewed for the role, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Saturday that Getsy, the former Chicago Bears offensive coordinator, will interview.
WEEI’s Mike Kadlick noted that the search is now up to nine interviews and requests as of Saturday morning: Nick Caley (Rams tight ends coach), Zac Robinson (Rams quarterbacks coach), Dan Pitcher (Bengals quarterbacks coach, hired by Bengals), Shane Waldron (Seahawks offensive coordinator, hired by Bears), Jerrod Johnson (Texans quarterbacks coach), Thomas Brown (Panthers offensive coordinator), Tanner Engstrand (Lions passing game coordinator), Fleury, and Getsy.
Fleury, a longtime defensive coach and analyst, switched to offense in San Francisco and has become a trusted assistant for Kyle Shanahan, according to Pelissero.
He’s spent five years with the franchise and is in his second season as tight ends coach. Fleury also coached for the Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills, Towson University, Sacred Heart, and the University of Maryland.
Getsy, who reportedly also interviewed with the Las Vegas Raiders, has coached with the Bears, Green Bay Packers, Mississippi State, Western Michigan, and several other colleges.
