Report: Patriots Defensive Line Coach Brendan Daly Leaving To Join Chiefs
FOXBORO (CBS) – New England Patriots defensive line coach Brendan Daly is departing for the Kansas City Chiefs, according to The Boston Globe.
The report from Jim McBride says Daly will take a similar position on head coach Andy Reid's staff. The Patriots defense shut out the Chiefs in the first half of the AFC Championship game and held on to win 37-31 in overtime.
Daly joined the Patriots in 2014.
He's one of several coaches to leave New England since the team captured its sixth Super Bowl title last Sunday.
Brian Flores (defensive play-caller), Josh Boyer (CBs), Brendan Daly (DL), Chad O'Shea (WRs) & Jerry Schuplinski (assistant QBs) all departing Patriots staff. Greater opportunities elsewhere, contracts expiring & family considerations are among the primary factors for decisions.
