He landed that job following two seasons at Penn State, his first head-coaching job, in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. O'Brien worked his way up through the Patriots ranks during his first stint of the organization, starting as a coaching assistant in 2007 and wide receivers coach in 2008. He coached quarterbacks, including Tom Brady, for the next two seasons. During his lone season as New England's offensive coordinator , the Patriots averaged 32.1 points per game and advanced to the Super Bowl.
