Former Chicago Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown is joining Mike Vrabel’s coaching staff in New England, NFL Network reported Monday.
Brown, 38, will become the Patriots’ tight ends coach and passing game coordinator, per the report.
Brown began the 2024 season as Chicago’s passing game coordinator. He was promoted to offensive coordinator on Nov. 12 following the firing of Shane Waldron, then promoted to interim coach on Nov. 29 following the firing of Matt Eberflus.
Brown went 1-4 as the Bears’ interim coach, beating the Green Bay Packers in his final game in January.
He previously served as the Carolina Panthers’ offensive coordinator in 2023 and coached with the Los Angeles Rams from 2020-22, the last two seasons as an assistant head coach.
Brown played running back at Georgia and was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in 2008 before starting his coaching career in the college ranks. He worked for Georgia, Wisconsin, Miami, Marshall, the College of Charleston and South Carolina.
