With the hires of Bill O’Brien and Will Lawing, the Patriots had filled just about every spot on their rebuilt offensive coaching staff. Coming into the week offensive line coach was the last spot to fill – and they didn’t wait long into the week to fill it.
Late Monday morning, ESPN college football insider Pete Thamel reported that Adrian Klemm is leaving his roles as Oregon’s offensive line coach, run game coordinator, and associate head coach to take the offensive line coach with the Patriots. According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, “Klemm is expected to receive a pay raise with the move back to the NFL.”
