Staff Changes

I wouldn't. They're there to earn money in exchange for labor. It might sound cold, but the business isn't there for their happiness -- never was.

Matt Patricia, who received the title of defensive coordinator this offseason, had been the de-facto play caller on defense for the past three seasons, with the title of defensive coordinator remaining unfilled since Dean Pees last held it in 2009. With Patricia holding the title of safeties coach last season, Boyer, whose title has been changed to cornerbacks coach, had already been focused on coaching that position.

The exception is along the front seven, where 33-year old Patrick Graham has switched roles with Pepper Johnson. Head coach Bill Belichick likely will be asked for the rationale behind this change at his next gathering with reporters. One angle could be allowing Graham, an up-and-coming coach, to gain experience at another position. Another could be Belichick wanting to give the linebacker unit the attention of one of his trusted veteran assistants in Johnson.
On offense, George Godsey slides into the tight ends coaching spot, vacated when Brian Ferentz left to coach the offensive line at Iowa under his father, Kirk Ferentz. Godsey, who some reports linked to a quarterbacks coaching role at Penn State under his former coach, Bill O'Brien, instead stays in New England.
