The Arizona Cardinals have requested permission to interview Patriots tight ends coach and passing game coordinator Thomas Brown for their head coach job, a source confirmed to MassLive.
Brown is an attractive candidate given his experience playcalling - he’s a former offensive coordinator with the Carolina Panthers - as well as being an interim head coach with the Chicago Bears last season.
During six seasons as an he’s learned under both Sean McVay and Mike Vrabel.
Brown was part of a Super Bowl winning staff with the LA Rams in 2021. He served as an assistant head coach and running backs coach under McVay.
In his first season in New England , Brown has worked closely with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.

Brown has appreciated the collaborative process with McDaniels, meshing ideas and blending offensive concepts.
“There’s a foundational philosophy, a philosophical belief when it comes to how the offense is built,” Brown said earlier in the year, “but (McDaniels) being open to other ideas that kind of fit into our scheme and our players is always cool to share a couple of ideas, make some tweaks, and be able to, for him, to delegate some roles and responsibilities.”
The NFL Network was the first to report the news.
