Brown's time with the Bears was a rollercoaster of highs and lows, reflecting a period of intense growth and some stumbling blocks for the team. While his tenure as the interim head coach culminated in a Week 18 victory over the division rival Green Bay Packers, the Bears eventually decided to part ways with Brown with their decision to hire former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.

Brown steps into his new role with the Patriots amidst high expectations and an ever-competitive NFL landscape. His reputation for innovative offensive strategies and player development will be key assets as he seeks to imprint his mark on the Patriots' coaching staff.
