With owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick conducting a series of meetings following a 4-13 season, the future of the remains to be determined. As of Tuesday morning, all outcomes still appear to be on the table — including the return of a former assistant coach with a long history of working under Belichick.
According to a report by Jeff Howe of The Athletic, former Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is a candidate to return in case Belichick stays on as the team’s head coach. For McDaniels, this would be his third stint in New England.
