If jerod mayo and the new england patriots want josh mcdaniels to be their offensive coordinator, they may have to fight former coach bill belichick to get him. the two teams could meet for the third time.
The answer is, evidently, yes, but with a caveat. The likelihood of mcdaniels returning to new england is dependent on whether bill belichick, the former patriots’ 24-year head coach, accepts the atlanta falcons’ head coaching job. Belichick has been interviewed twice for the position, including a trip to the yacht of falcons owner arthur blank and a meeting with atlanta’s entire brass. mcdaniels is the favorite to be atlanta’s offensive coordinator if the falcons sign him. mcdaniels is also a possibility in new england. “i think if belichick takes the falcons job, he has a good chance to bring mcdaniels with him,” the athletic said on the ‘pats interference’ podcast, which was broadcast on nesn. “if belichick does not win the falcons job, mcdaniels will likely climb to the top of the patriots’ list. “mcdaniels served as the patriots’ offensive coordinator for two different seasons, first from 2006-2008, then from 2012-2021. Jerod mayo, new england’s new head coach, was on the other side of the ball during four of mcdaniels’ seasons with foxboro, and the two worked together in 2019-2021.
mcdaniels, 47, led the patriots to a top-10 record in all but one season, with cam newton missing in 2020. Mcdaniels spent 11 of those 13 seasons with tom brady, but his offense could do it with another option as mac jones made the pro bowl as a rookie in 2021, while new england finished no. 1). Behind a strong rushing attack, 6 players are in scoring. Mcdaniels was later the head coach of the las vegas raiders, but his offensive success didn’t necessarily translate into victories.
Mcdaniels’ offense is ranked no. 1 with the raiders, according to the raiders. In 2022, 12 yards and points were recorded, but jimmy garoppolo was the primary starter, settling at no. 1 in the standings. 27 and no. 1: a reversal of the original quote. The patriots have already begun interviewing candidates for the offensive coordinator position, but mcdaniels hasn’t been mentioned.
