Brady was most recently the Chargers passing game coordinator.
The New England Patriots offensive coordinator interview process continues as the team has requested to talk to Los Angeles Chargers passing game coordinator Marcus Brady for the position, according to ESPN.
A former collegiate quarterback himself, Brady went on to play seven seasons in the Canadian Football League — winning three Grey Cups in the process.
Brady’s coaching career then began in the CFL in 2009 before he was hired by the Indianapolis Colts in 2018 as their assistant quarterbacks coach under head coach Frank Reich. Brady held the role for two years before being promoted to offensive coordinator replacing Nick Sirianni.
In Brady’s first year as OC, the Colts offense finished ninth in the league averaging 25.1 points per game with Carson Wentz under center. Transitioning to Matt Ryan the following year, the offense plummeted which led to a head coaching change and Brady’s dismissal.
Brady then joined Sirianni in Philadelphia where he spent two seasons as an offensive assistant before joining the Chargers this past season under Jim Harbaugh.
In Mike Vrabel’s search for the Patriots next offensive coordinator, Brady is the second known candidate in addition to Thomas Brown, who also previously served as an OC under Reich.
