Josh McDaniels is set to return as the Patriots’ offensive coordinator, bringing his experience to help develop the team’s young quarterback.
Foxborough: So, it looks like Josh McDaniels is making a comeback with the Patriots. He’s expected to join Mike Vrabel’s staff as the offensive coordinator. This will be his third time around with the team, and honestly, it feels like a good fit.
Curran and other insiders have been buzzing about this. They think McDaniels is a top pick for the job. He’s got a solid track record, especially when it comes to developing quarterbacks. Just think about it—he helped shape Tom Brady into the legend he is today.
On a recent podcast, Curran pointed out that McDaniels has a knack for adapting his coaching style. He’s worked with a bunch of quarterbacks, from Brady to Jimmy Garoppolo and even Jacoby Brissett. Each of them has seen growth under his guidance.
Now, McDaniels will have the chance to work with Drake Maye, the third overall draft pick. Maye had a decent rookie year, and with McDaniels’ help, he could really take off in his second season. The pressure is on, but it’s exciting to think about what they can achieve together.
Curran also mentioned that the Patriots aren’t exactly loaded with talent right now. They can’t just run a Brady-style offense without the right pieces. They’ll need to get creative and find new ways to make things work.
With McDaniels back in the fold, Vrabel will now focus on rounding out the rest of the coaching staff. As of now, only special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer is confirmed for 2025. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out!
