Josh McDaniels might have a future in New England after all.
McDaniels, whom the Las Vegas Raiders fired in November, remains in search of an NFL job. And he spent a lot of time around the Patriots during the final few weeks of the regular season, even attending Bill Belichick’s farewell news conference.
As of Thursday afternoon, there weren’t any reports indicating McDaniels had interviewed for New England’s offensive coordinator vacancy. However, The Athletic’s Jeff Howe on Wednesday reported McDaniels still could get the job — depending on what happens with Belichick.
“If Belichick gets the Falcons job, I think there’s a very strong chance he brings (Josh) McDaniels with him,” Howe told the Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan during the latest “Pats Interference” podcast.
