When Jerod Mayo is officially introduced as the Patriots’ next head coach on Wednesday, one of his first orders of business will be to determine what his coaching staff looks like.
The biggest decision will likely come at offensive coordinator. Bill O’Brien is still under contract, but if both parties decide not to continue their partnership, Josh McDaniels is expected to be at the top of Mayo’s list to potentially be the next offensive coordinator, NFL Media’s Mike Garofolo reported Saturday.
The news of a potential McDaniels-Patriots reunion first emerged earlier in the week. If Bill Belichick was going to stay in New England for the 2024 season, there were discussions that McDaniels could return to the organization in some capacity, The Athletic‘s Jeff Howe reported Monday.
