Dean Pees will no longer be the defensive coordinator for the New England Patriots, as of Thursday.
The 60 year-old Pees lead a sluggish defensive unit that has declined over the past 2 seasons.
According to ESPNBoston.com’s Mike Reiss, the decision may have been mutual with Pees’ contract up at the end of January.
There are no rumors as to who the next DC will be in New England.
