Lombardi, aged 33, was formerly associated with the New England Patriots. He began his career in the NFL as a scouting assistant, stood as the wide receivers coach for the last 2 seasons, and also served as an assistant QB coach prior to that. The coach also served a significant time with the Jets and 49ers.

Meanwhile, offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo is also heading to Las Vegas to take up a similar job.

What’s Next for Patriots?

The New England Patriots suffered big time with the departure of Josh McDaniels as he brings some familiar faces to work alongside. This is a concerning situation for Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, as he has some major spots to fill in the coaching staff.

The only new coach the team has hired is Joe Judge, who spent his last two seasons as the head coach of the New York Giants; However, with the expected retirement of the long-time running backs coach Ivan Fears, there’s still a big void that the franchise needs to fill.

However, an NFL Insider believes the team may have done assembling their coaching staff for the upcoming 2022 season, and they are yet to announce. It is yet to see what the franchise has in the pack for the New England fans.
