The New England Patriots continued their coaching staff transformation and reunited with longtime friend of the program Josh McDaniels on Tuesday.
McDaniels agreed to make his third return to Foxborough following 18 previous seasons spent with the organization. The 48-year-old took a one-year intermission from coaching, fresh off his nearly two-year-long run as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. McDaniels underwent an ugly breakup from the AFC West team and capitalized on the perfect timing to join first-year head coach Mike Vrabel.
New England’s decision to bring McDaniels back didn’t only receive an approval stamp from wideout Kendrick Bourne, but also from a team insider.
