Josh McDaniels's adaptability and versatile scheme could transform Drake Maye and the Patriots' offense into one of the NFL's most dangerous.
Josh McDaniels is back for a third tour of duty as the Patriots' offensive coordinator, but there are a couple of big differences from his first two stints in New England.
New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel is clearly a fan of the way Josh McDaniels sees the game. It's for that reason that he hired him to return for a third stint as offensive coordinator for the Patriots.
Patriots coach Mike Vrabel explains his decision to bring Josh McDaniels back as New England's offensive coordinator.
Bill O’Brien, the former Patriots OC and current Boston College coach, had lofty praise for McDaniels during his regular appearance on WEEI this week. O’Brien shot down the criticism that McDaniels was hired because of nostalgia surrounding the glory days of Brady.
Once again, Josh McDaniels will fill the New England Patriots offensive coordinator position. As expected, the team is hiring McDaniels after speaking with him Tuesday, according to CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones. The Patriots made the move official on Wednesday.
The Patriots are bringing back Josh McDaniels for his third go-around as the offensive coordinator, according to multiple reports on Tuesday. McDaniels held the same role from 2006-2008 after working his way up from a personnel assistant and then again from 2012 to 2022.
The New England Patriots are reportedly adding yet another familiar coaching face this offseason, as Josh McDaniels makes another return to Foxborough as offensive coordinator.
Special teams coordinator Tom McMahon is expected to remain with the Raiders in the same role on new coach Pete Carroll’s staff next season, according to a source familiar with the decision. McMahon has been the club’s special teams coordinator the last three seasons.
Josh McDaniels has never had a QB quite like Drake Maye. But Mike Vrabel believes the OC can adapt to "new trends" to make Maye thrive.
New England has several young options for former No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye entering 2025, but none have the experience Diggs provides. Before suffering a torn ACL in Week 8, the 31-year-old was well on his way to securing a seventh-straight 1,000-yard campaign while totaling over 100 catches.
