As the Patriots try to fortify their inconsistent offense under new head coach Mike Vrabel, they may turn to a very familiar face to lead the way.
Josh McDaniels is considered to be “the favorite” to land the offensive coordinator job, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
“Most people believe that Josh McDaniels, former Patriots OC, actually a couple times, still lives in New England, currently not working, would be a prime candidate for that job,” Rapoport said.
Rapoport said he expects Vrabel to talk to McDaniels as they conduct the search.
McDaniels, who was most recently the Las Vegas Raiders’ head coach in 2023, was New England’s offensive coordinator from 2006-2008, then again in 2020 and 2021.
