As the Patriots' defensive coordinator from 2012 to 2017, Patricia helped New England to three Super Bowl titles. The 46-year-old was not as successful during his tenure as Lions head coach, going 13-29-1 in Detroit before being fired last November.
Also heading from Detroit to New England, according to McBride, is Evan Rothstein. Rothstein worked in analytics for the Lions and was an assistant to Patricia.
