The Patriots offense may be losing more than just one top coach this offseason.
According to The Athletic's Bruce Feldman, Patriots special teams/wide receivers coach Joe Judge has emerged as a top candidate for the head-coaching job at Mississippi State, the school where he played and also served on staff afterwards.
Judge is in addition to Josh McDaniels, who has interviews with the Browns, Panthers and Giants lined up. Judge also reportedly is interviewing with the Giants.
Feldman wrote: The 37-year-old played at Mississippi State and then spent three years on Sylvester Croom's staff. His wife was a soccer player for the Bulldogs as well. Judge also spent three years on Nick Saban's staff at Alabama before spending much of the past decade working for Bill Belichick. I'm hearing he has always REALLY wanted this job and that he will have the support of some key folks at Mississippi State.
Judge has been with the Patriots since 2012, but this was his first year working with the wide receivers in addition to special teams.
