We already know that Jerod Mayo, who was fired by the team after a Week 18 win, and defensive assistant Keith Jones Jr., who left for a job at Appalachian State, aren’t returning.
Now, there are a few more names to add to that list, as ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported that tight ends coach Bob Bicknell, running backs coach Taylor Embree, wide receivers coach Tyler Hughes and assistant wide receivers coach Tiquan Underwood will be moving on this offseason.
All four were with New England for just one season and are now looking for new jobs elsewhere.
As new head coach Mike Vrabel builds his staff over the coming weeks, it will be very interesting to see who, if anyone, he keeps from Mayo’s staff.
