New Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel has confirmed he is considering hiring Josh McDaniels as his offensive coordinator, but he says there are many other candidates for the job as well.
Asked on WEEI if he would bring in McDaniels, Vrabel confirmed that McDaniels is one person he is considering, but said there are many others.
“It’s a long list. There’s a long list, and you know… I dated Joshand I’ve had relationships with other offensive coaches and defensive coaches that we’re going to interview and want to bring in here,” Vrabel said.
McDaniels, who was part of the Patriots coaching staff for eight years before Vrabel was a player in New England, earned a reputation as a strong offensive coordinator during his time with the Patriots. He also failed in two stints as a head coach, with the Broncos and Raiders. McDaniels didn’t coach in the NFL in 2024, but if he wants to return to the league in 2025, New England seems like the logical place.
