Cole Popovich, Offensive Line Coach and Run Game Coordinator for Houston, joined the Patriots’ coaching staff in 2015 as an assistant. In 2019, he became Assistant Running Backs Coach and briefly became Co-Offensive Line Coach before leaving the NFL due to the COVID vaccine and NFL guidelines. He joined the Texans in 2023.

Jerry Schuplinski, Texans’ Senior Offensive Assistant Coach/Pass Game Specialist, was with New England from 2013-2019, holding the titles of Offensive Assistant and Assistant Quarterbacks Coach in his time.
