… NBC Sports Boston reports the coach is a “strong candidate” for the Patriots DC job.The New England Patriots have named Jerod Mayo as their next head coach, and one of his first duties in the role will be hiring offensive and defensive coordinators for the staff. According to NFL insiders, the top choice for the DC role could be in the building.
The MMQB’s Albert Breer reported Tuesday that Patriots defensive backs coach DeMarcus Covington is a “strong favorite” to be the team’s defensive coordinator.”The Patriots could also hire Denver Broncos defensive backs coach Christian Parker or Pittsburgh Steelers defensive assistant coach Gerald Alexander to join Covington’s defensive staff,” Brier added.Covington joined the Patriots as an assistant coach in 2017.
He became the outside linebackers coach in 2019 and is the defensive line coach for the 2020 season.Mayo has worked extensively with Covington over the past five seasons as he was the Patriots’ quarterback from 2019 to 2023 before being named head coach in January. The Patriots defense has been a strength of the team in recent years. Players like Christian Barmore developed under Covington’s coaching.
The team is expected to interview with Rams coach Nick Caley and running backs coach Zach Robinson for the offensive coordinator opening.

That run was supposed to be one-on-one, but we’ll have to wait until the Lions face the 49ers next Sunday. Johnson is in his second year as the Lions’ offensive coordinator, and the team has finished fifth in the league in scoring twice.
Glenn has led Detroit’s defense for the past three seasons.The work they’ve done makes them top contenders no matter what happens in the NFC title game, but knocking off the 49ers on the road could make the case for both coaches to take the next step on the coaching ladder.
