New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt had an honest assessment of his coaching job when speaking with media members.
Rookie quarterback Drake Maye had a promising rookie season, and Van Pelt deserves some credit for his development behind the scenes. However, the offense as a whole struggled this season. The team is currently ranked 30th overall in total offense with an average of 290.8 yards per game.
Van Pelt didn’t shy away from his role in the team’s struggles as the offensive play-caller.
“Some of the things I would like to take back is some of the bad calls I’ve made throughout the year,” Van Pelt admitted, as transcribed by MassLive’s Mark Daniels.
The Patriots might have to make some tough decisions on the coaching staff in the offseason. Van Pelt being instrumental in the development of Maye will be something for the team to consider when ultimately deciding on his future.
