The Patriots coaching staff could have some dramatic changes entering the 2020 season. 

The New England Patriots coaching staff could have some dramatic changes entering the 2020 season.

Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and special teams coordinator/wide receivers coach Joe Judge have received permission to interview for coaching positions elsewhere, according to Ben Volin of The Boston Globe.

McDaniels is cleared to interview for the head coaching position with the Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns and New York Giants. He’s been with the Patriots for 11 years, but has been a top candidate for head coaching positions over the past few seasons.

Judge was given permission to interview with the Giants and he’s been with the Patriots for eight seasons.

The coaches won’t be allowed to interview until after wild-card week, and the Patriots are facing the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night. Regardless of the outcome of the game, both coaches will likely be busy next week.
