The Patriots will have a new special teams coach next season. Brad Seely will not be returning.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Seely is set to sign on as special teams coordinator under new Browns head coach Eric Mangini.

The Patriots are interested in replacing Seely with Scott O'Brien, who was the Denver Broncos' special teams coach this season. O'Brien was Bill Belichick's special teams coach when Belichick was coach of the Browns from 1991-95.

O'Brien, 61, who joined Denver's staff in 2007, has 16 seasons of NFL experience as a special teams coach with Denver, Carolina, and Cleveland/Baltimore. He was named Special Teams Coach of the Year by his peers in 1994.
