The New England Patriots have added two more names to their search for a new offensive coordinator. San Francisco 49ers pass game coordinator Klint Kubiak and Las Vegas Raiders pass game coordinator Scott Turner are the two new candidates, per Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
Kubiak served as the offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos in 2022 and was the offensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings in 2021. He also served in the role of quarterbacks coach for the Vikings from 2019-2020.
Turner has been in his position with the Raiders since 2023. He has also worked with the Washington Commanders and Carolina Panthers. He has experience at the collegiate level as well, serving as an offensive analyst for Michigan in 2017.
The Patriots are interviewing an extensive list of candidates, and it appears Los Angeles Rams tight ends coach Nick Caley could be one of the frontrunners for the position.

On offense, Rams tight ends coach and former Patriots assistant Nick Caley will get the first crack at a second interview: He flew in from Los Angeles on Sunday, with dinner that night and meetings Monday. Niners assistants Brian Fleury and Klint Kubiak interviewed along with Lions assistant Tanner Engtrand, and the team plans to talk with Raiders assistant Scott Turner and former Bears OC Luke Getsy. The Patriots also met with former Seahawks OC Shane Waldron, who ultimately landed in Chicago, and Robinson, who we mentioned above is headed for Atlanta.
It will be interesting to see who the Patriots hire, as they look to resurrect an offense that struggled throughout the 2023 season.
