Caley

It may not take long for Jerrod Mayo to continue Bill Belichick’s legacy of staying within the family when retooling his staff. Caley began his NFL career as a member of the Patriots in 2015. He was hired as an offensive assistant and eventually worked his way up to tight ends coach. Caley took on the same role for the Rams this year. The Jets and Texans interviewed Caley for their offensive coordinator vacancies last year but both went in different directions.

Head coach DeMeco Ryans has wasted little time in trying to find his offensive coordinator, as Caley becomes the second candidate to speak with Ryans. Caley’s NFL resumé starts and ends with the Patriots, who hired him in 2015 as an offensive assistant and shuffled him between tight ends and fullbacks coach over the last six seasons. The 40-year-old coach has not held an offensive coordinator role at any level, but is widely regarded as a young coach on the rise.
