Josh McDaniels is staying put, but the Patriots may still lose one of the brightest minds on their offensive coaching staff.
Tight ends coach Brian Daboll plans to interview for the job as Alabama’s offensive coordinator, according to Fox Sports. Daboll served under Alabama head coach Nick Saban as a graduate assistant when the latter was still coaching at Michigan State.
Daboll has had two stints in Foxboro. The first was from 2000-06, and then again since 2013. He initially left to become the quarterbacks coach for the New York Jets, then served as the offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs.
