It seems like the first thing to always happen as the off-season gets underway are changes to the coaching staff and today it was announced that defensive backs coach Corwin Brown would not return for a second season and long time strength and conditioning coach Mike Woicik appears to be headed back to Dallas.
If you don’t know much about Woicik I suggest you check out this video. Surely if you’ve watched a Patriots game this past decade, you’ve seen Woicik at some point with his hat pulled low, spitting sunflower seeds into a cup. Harold Nash, Woicik’s assistant strength and conditioning coach appears to be his replacement.
Brown’s departure is an interesting one, especially since he was just in New England for one season, coaching primarily the safeties. Hard to speculate what his impact was or wasn’t but clearly it was not good enough on some level.
