It was the team’s second year with Dick MacPherson as head coach, but the team had its third owner in the last five seasons. Businessman Victor Kiam, who had purchased the team from its founders, the Sullivan family, in 1988, sold the team to advertising executive and Anheuser-Busch scion James Orthwein in the 1991–92 offseason.1992-03-20 Kiam Sells His Share of Patriots Hartford Courant Hartford, Connecticut D9 Rumours Orthwein planned to move the Patriots from Foxborough were denied.1992-03-20 Orthwein Agrees To Assume Kiam's Debt Harford Courant Hartford, Connecticut D1 The Patriots were looking to improve on their 6–10 record from the year before but instead regressed back to a 2–14 record, being affected by serious knee damage to mainstay offensive tackle Bruce Armstrong that caused him to miss the second half of the season.Price Terry Armstrong Probably Out for the Season: Pro Bowl Tackle Suffers Serious Knee Injury 1992-11-02 Hartford Courant Hartford, Connecticut However, an inept running game that did not score a rushing touchdown until the ninth game was the primary cause of the Patriots’ bad record. They finished last in the AFC East and their record tied the Seattle Seahawks for the worst mark in the entire league. However, the Patriots finished in last place in the NFL because of their Week 3 loss to the Seahawks. The Patriots thus received the first pick in the subsequent draft. Following the season, wholesale changes were made. MacPherson and his staff were fired1993-01-09 MacPherson Fired by Patriots St. Cloud Times St. Cloud, Minnesota 19 and Bill Parcells, who had last coached the New York Giants to victory in Super Bowl XXV, was brought in as his replacement. The 1992 team was also the last to play in the colors that the Patriots had played in since their founding, as the team adopted a new logo and a blue, silver, and red color scheme. After the season, Gene Chilton decided he had played his final NFL game.
