Former Lions head coach Matt Patricia is reportedly returning to New England.

Jim McBride from Boston Globe reports that Patricia will join the Patriots for assist the technical staff in a variety of roles. It is not known what kind of title Patricia will have when she returns to the team.

Patricia served as the 2012 Patriots’ defensive coordinator until becoming the head coach of the Lions after the 2017 season. He was fired last November after going 13-29-1 in Detroit.

McBride adds that Evan Rothstein will join Patricia in moving from Lions to Patriots. Rothstein was an assistant to the head coach and worked in analysis with the Lions. He took on a different role calling the team’s defensive plays in Week 16 when COVID-19 protocols left the Lions short of coaches.
