NFL insider Adam Schefter said on WEEI that just because Josh McDaniels had failures as a coach doesn’t mean they will carry over in his return to the Patriots as OC.

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.

Josh McDaniels is no stranger to Boston. In 2025, he'll make his third trip to the city, taking helm of the Patriots' offense.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel has hired Josh McDaniels to return as the offensive coordinator in New England.

Josh McDaniels is the offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots once again. McDaniels has been hired by New England after interviewing with new head coach Mike Vrabel for the role on Tuesday.

Patriots Head Coach Mike Vrabel has announced the first three members of his 2025 coaching staff with the hiring of Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator, Terrell Williams as defensive coordinator and the return of Jeremy Springer as special teams coordinator.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers signed eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson last March, just four days after he was released by the Broncos following two frustrating seasons in Denver, they had to know that they were not getting the best version of the 12-year veteran.

The New England Patriots are swapping one of their former linebackers for another, as the franchise announced on Sunday that they had agreed to terms with Mike Vrabel to be the Patriots' 16th head coach.

Mike Vrabel has hired Josh McDaniels and Terrell Williams to be his top coordinators, while the Patriots have retained Jeremy Springer to lead special teams.

On Tuesday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that the New England Patriots are hiring Josh McDaniels for a third stint with the team as their offensive coordinator. McDaniels brings years of experience to Mike Vrabel's staff, including multiple years as a head coach with the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders.
