The Denver Broncos interviewed Matt Patricia on Wednesday for their defensive coordinator opening, NFL Network reported.
He joins a list of top candidates that includes Rex Ryan and Vance Joseph.
New head coach Sean Payton is interviewing to replace Ejiro Evero, who left to become the DC in Carolina.
Patricia, 48, was the longtime DC for the New England Patriots (2012-17) before getting the head coaching job in Detroit, where he went 13-29-1. He was fired by the Lions after Week 12 of the 2020 season.
Patricia spent the 2022 season back with the Patriots as the de-facto offensive coordinator with Joe Judge. Patricia held the title of senior football adviser/offensive line.
The Patriots brought back Bill O’Brien to be OC moving forward.
It’s unclear if Patricia has a spot on the Patriots’ staff for 2023. His contract – still being paid by the Detroit Lions – expired at the end of last season. Patricia wasn’t part of the Patriots’ contingent of coaches at the Shrine Bowl.
